I'm seriously afraid this is true.

Are u implying it’s partially our fault people chant “F*** the Mormons?”

Not at all. The idiots that chanted that are entirely to blame.

11/30/21 10:11pm

Nobody really cares about the chant. It was stupid of USC to apologize. They

Actually.....apologizing was the right thing to do.

It would not even be a story if they didn't apologize which is why I think it

I dont know of any BYU fans that got worked up over it.

WJCougar

I guess I was wrong. You people are clearly worked up over the chant and

LOL. You serious? This is PR 101. USC is aware of what that chant looks like and

SUAVO

The only reason it is a story is because they apologized. That's the story.

rcbyufan

11/30/21 10:41pm

Yes, and it's the story usc wants because they don't want the possibility of the

SUAVO

11/30/21 11:06pm

True. It think the story got more play because USC apologized.

I thought that was a classy move on USC's part.

They didn’t write a broadway play about Catholics either

That might be the single best argument I've heard.

Not really. A million people see it yearly. And pay $200 each. And

Classic Luniz song

That’s funny. Maybe I’m missing something. Everyone I saw laughed at the chant

BlackHawkCoug

Fair enough. "Let's go Mormons" could have gotten USC points for being clever...

That’s the most popular chant cadence there is. Has nothing to do with Let’s Go Brandon

You realize 20% of the nation is Catholic, right? That's why you won't hear that

Like that time when Sinead O'Connor tore up a pic of the Pope on national TV.

Only Utes and Aggies think that.

By all means point out the apologies usc has made to ND

BYU '80

Here are some of the apologies between both teams

SUAVO

11/30/21 11:02pm

So none about religion. Some of those are kind of humorous

The Stanford band was mocking Catholics, but here is another.

Just because the media reports on it doesn’t mean the average BYU fan cares

Not sure about fanbases, but definitely religions.

I don't think it's so much reviled as seen as an oddity/curiosity and insular

Have no idea what you're talking about. You saying Church members deserve it?

He is saying it is OK to use a swear word directed toward religion.

Wow. In no way am I saying that or even inferring USC's behavior was acceptable.
