was actually gay. If you had asked me back then how many people were gay, I’d have said one in a thousand—at most.

We were just naive.

While I respect the sentiment, here are a few things I want to point out.

So is it ok for Utes to mock and make fun of Max Hall and his addiction issues?

TheHop

He seems to have taken it in stride. Even when it crossed the line, he turned it into a positive situation.

So it's ok to act that way as long as the person takes it in stride?

TheHop

I dunno, I don't tend to try and dictate the way other people behave.

Don't roll your eyes at me. You asked a question and I answered it.

Act what way? Point me to the posts that have crossed the line and I'll line up behind you. I haven't seen any.

Why aren't you concerned about the punter and the jokes about him?

My issue is using the rivalry as an excuse for bad behavior.

TheHop

1/4/23 3:20pm

That is not my point. My point being we make fun of players all the time, what makes this any different? Are you also

I don't think the OP said anything at all about excusing bad behavior in the name of rivalry...

Coug

It's bad behavior to laugh at a dude dancing?

What does that matter? It’s OK? But if he committed suicide it would have

I think how we respond is very important. We don't get to control what people do or say, even if it's unfair.

Ive never told a Ute otherwise. I dont mock ex Utes who have struggled with addictions myself but to each their own.

JohnnyComeLately

A male cheerleader dancing funny is the same thing as a person's struggle with a hard drug addiction?

Unibro

1/4/23 3:01pm

I'll answer that. No.

Breaded Hamster

I'll second that

How is that equivalent to mocking a cheerleader for being extremely over the

I think so. Actions have consequences. If someone opens themselves up by doing

Extraordinarily odd response given the content of the OP. Nothing in the OP would justify that scenario in my view

Bob Vance

Do you think putting max halls mugshot on your shirt and making a drug reference

IceCreamButt

1/4/23 4:43pm

How do you even see both of those as an equivalent comparison?

Chuckling at a dude who dances ≠ making fun of a guy for addictions.

fattycoug

1/4/23 6:02pm

It's funny, and I don't have any proof but it seems there has been way more jokes about the punter than the cheerleader

Coug

Cheese fries is trying to turn it into a thing.

panacablue

Yep, i dont see any Ute fans crying about the jokes for the punter.

JohnnyComeLately

1/4/23 3:16pm

Making jokes about a punter who almost died is no laughing matter!

Desert Rat

1/4/23 3:18pm

It’s certainly not kind to mock him. He’s not a public figure, just some

stenso

Do you also defend every other Ute player who gets mocked on here? If not, what makes this different?

JohnnyComeLately

I don’t think we should mock anyone. We should try and be better.

stenso

Sounds good. But this is a sports messaging board. And there is literally a Ute Smack Category.

Why is it ok for him to make a mockery of cheerleaders? Is it because

turns out everyone in your school was gay? What were you naive about?

Bob Vance

Too long. 🙄🥱 Just say “Gay jokes aren’t cool but jokes about stupid Utes are”.

The answer to your why question. Some people today can’t type fast
