Hal Boyd needs to “let it go”

BlueBuffoon

11/29/21 9:25pm

Oh please. Equating “Let’s go Brandon” to “F the Mormons”. What a loser

BYU '80

11/29/21 9:29pm

Has there been a "let's go Brandon" chant at BYU yet? I never heard one while at LES

Bert609

11/29/21 9:37pm

I think some students have tried to get it started, and there have been signs.

Kavorka

11/29/21 9:39pm

Yes - and it was embarrassing

Skipshot

Yes. Video:

Two guys and no one joined in.

How many people were chanting at USC? What’s the acceptable number of chanters?

MarkWatney

11/29/21 10:10pm

Enough to hear it clearly on live tv

BYU '80

11/30/21 1:15am

For about 30 seconds....long enough to think "are they saying what I think they

11/30/21 11:24am

And this wasn't the only time it happened either. There was a bigger group of

I hope so, since young people are the ones impacted most by his economy

Mike Bolton

11/29/21 9:54pm

And that chant has the power to change it all!

MarkWatney

11/29/21 9:55pm

They didn't say "let's go liberals."

Mike Bolton

11/29/21 10:14pm

No that would be a belief of the eft as they protest everything under the sun

BYU '80

11/30/21 1:16am

Justifying bad behavior doesn't make it acceptable. I'm sure if you asked

Blueto

11/29/21 9:59pm

Please. BYU didn't chant against against a class of people. Just dumb Biden.

Mike Bolton

11/29/21 10:02pm

Inappropriate and unnecessary for a football game and should be below BYU.

Kavorka

11/29/21 10:17pm

Nothing about a game is necessary. Only inappropriate with original wording.

Mike Bolton

11/29/21 10:27pm

Isn’t the meaning the same? It’s low class and lame. I know many of you can’t

Kavorka

11/29/21 10:35pm

Yeah, but the meaning isn't offensive. Just the bad words.

Mike Bolton

11/29/21 10:40pm

Lol, you have no clue what my political opinion is. A chant that means F (insert

Kavorka

11/29/21 10:49pm

Should the World Series apologize because they didn't quiet people booing Trump?

Mike Bolton

11/29/21 10:58pm

Huh? First off, I never suggested anyone apologize so I have no idea what you’re

Kavorka

11/29/21 11:03pm

So saying “let’s Go” is the equivalent of saying F? And disdain directed towards

Osteotome

11/29/21 11:30pm

The origin and meaning of that particular chant is literally F Joe Biden.

Kavorka

11/29/21 11:35pm

So you don’t say flip, fetch, dang, gosh darn or son of a gun then ?

Osteotome

11/29/21 11:40pm

What are you even talking about at this point?

Kavorka

11/29/21 11:47pm

It’s very appropriate that this chant was born at a car race. Because only

Jstak17

11/29/21 11:09pm

Also doesn’t make it close to the same thing to chant “let’s go Brandon”

BYU '80

11/30/21 1:18am

Lowest unemployment claims in last 50 years.

Cswilliam01

11/30/21 12:11am

Both are classless.

Blueto

11/29/21 9:39pm

The equivalent would be if USC chanted an innuendo that everyone knew

Jstak17

11/29/21 10:11pm

Let’s go Brandon is about one guy and all of the people butt hurt

BYU '80

11/30/21 1:21am

So it’s ok to say it if it’s just to one individual? Nice justification. When

Jstak17

11/30/21 6:22am

They're just trying to start a dialogue.

Mike Bolton

11/30/21 7:32am

The mental gymnastics here are amazing

Blueto

11/30/21 7:01am

Sporting events are fair game for political discussion

Mike Bolton

11/30/21 7:27am

I liked it when sports was an escape from all that. I guess no longer.

Jstak17

11/30/21 8:34am

As a devout LDS and devout Dem I absolutely find them both offensive.

Cswilliam01

11/30/21 12:06am

I can’t stand Joe Biden, but I agree the chant is undignified and offensive.

Sandstone Cougar

11/30/21 12:49am

But let’s go Brandon isn’t about you. Unless you worship Biden I suppose

BYU '80

11/30/21 1:22am

False equivalency again rears its cowardly head.

spoxjox

11/29/21 9:34pm

As a Dem who cares deeply about Democratic values -I find them equally classless

Cswilliam01

11/30/21 12:14am

That’s absurd. Joe Biden is not a protected class and there’s nondiscrimination

BYU '80

11/30/21 1:23am

How prevalent are Brandon chants anyway? DN makes it seem like an official chant

ochobeeguy

11/29/21 9:38pm

Are he and I the only ones who heard "those Mormons," not "the Mormons"?

Gustav

11/29/21 9:39pm

A good chant back would be “we won’t” or “we don’t do that”

stonecougar

11/29/21 9:48pm

He’s spot on though. The let’s go Brandon chant at the BYU football game was

BlooCoog

11/29/21 10:01pm

Because we were playing joe Biden?

stonecougar

11/29/21 10:06pm

Derogatory terms against the sitting president of United States was pretty much

Osteotome

11/29/21 10:11pm

Honestly how could anyone disagree the two chants aren’t the same thing?

BYU '80

11/30/21 1:24am

Looks like a lot of people on CB need to "let it go" as well
