Courtimedes Walk-on

The university responded in what I though was a pretty classy way. I am inclined to just roll my eyes at the chant- it's stupid and tasteless, but that describes most of fandom- but I want to give credit where it's due, even to a California school.

Good attitude. Did they mostly feel like they thought they were funny or were they aggressive in an intimidating way?

I don't think they meant it to be extremely mean. Just dumb college kids.

Which often means dumb, drunk college kids.

USC apologized for it today.

It's a better response than Utah or Utah State would ever give.

I think it makes a huge difference. Even if it doesn't result in better

It should. Accept the apology, get over it, and move on.

Even if they didn't apologize. Get over it and move on. Good grief.

Nope, I'm still broken hearted.

oh, that's enough, how about the Dean of Students resigns?

ChinaFan

11/28/21 8:55pm

As long as we're being unrealistic, let's demand all the admin resign?

John Doe

11/28/21 9:00pm

Actually, let's just have them offer up 3 players of our choice.

To be more specific, the USC administration apologized. I doubt any of the students are sorry for their actions.

Not sure what you expected. The students weren't going to individually come out and apologize. That would damage their

Imagine how well it would go over if they were chanting "F*** the Jews"

Or Muslims, or gays, or Native Americans, or.....

SingleStrapBackpack

Depends on who is doing the chanting. Are they progressives?

Really classy fans there at USC. Dorks.

You should have reminded them their starting QB is a “Mormon” ?

no doubt there, USC is definitely the school of 'privlege', white or otherwise, you don't go there without money, brains
