Yeah, def fukt up.
I think it makes BYU and the people involved look bad. To make it a Utah problem might be overdoing it.
Anyone remember the UNC Bball player that accused Briton Johnsen(UofU Bball player) of racial epithets just cuz he got schooled by a white boy? Only to recant later!
Can’t wait for Oregon vs BYU. Duck fans tend remember things like this. The chants should be entertaining.

Edit.
I must have missed that one. It's not like Mormons, er, Utahans were ever racist. rightQuote:

All religions have some extreme bigotry in their beliefs for sure. Mostly about who is going to be allowed into heaven, whatever that is. There's only one that I'm aware of that singles out "black people from an arid land" as beneath the Believers. That said, I never met a Mormon that I didn't like and they did put on a heck of a production on Hill Cumorah every summer that I went to a dozen times.Quote:

Doesn't most christian religions portrayal of JC as a blue eyed Anglo-Saxon muthafucker kinda racist?
This. Stop playing, put your foot on top of the ball right there on the court and tell the ref and coaches that nobody’s playing until the guy is kicked out - or until the stands are cleared if you can’t/won’t identify the perp.Quote:

I get that it’s putting the onus on the victim but the athletes are ultimately the ones with the power if they stand together on this…
Edit: athlete said she didn’t want to give people the satisfaction by stopping the game. I get that too, I dunno - still think clearing the crowd if people can’t behave is the only way to shut it down. Might lose some $ but would be sending a message that you really care about your athletes.

This shit slaps.
That should piss EVERY ONE ON THE PLANET off, no matter what you think.
Hell, that's the kind of thing that will unite all the other species to vote us off the planet.
That’s embarrassing

These people were not “cussing” per se, methinks because of their LDS upbringing, but they found it reasonable to scream racist remarks at the opposition players and called out the referees for any call they made against the home team. I was disgusted and didn’t even last until halftime. I’ve never gone back to that arena.
Oh look. https://www.registerguard.com/story/...e/69502025007/
Edit to add the irony of Spencer cox calling out bigotry and hate is fucking amazing.
That's pathetic, I would have left too, I think. Super fans can sometimes be a weird combo of white trash but with enough money to afford season tix.Quote:

She took me to a f'n Harlem Globetrotters game. And no, this crowd did not heckle the ref or swear at the opposing team, which would have been nice actually.
When people ask me "why did you leave Utah," I'm going to start playing this.Quote:

“A family in Utah will certainly have a story to tell their newest member ... because a 56-year-old mom is carrying her son's baby.
You read that right, 56-year-old Nancy Hauck volunteered to carry her son Jeff and his wife Cambria's 5th child, a girl. Cambria is unable to carry a pregnancy after getting a life-saving hysterectomy.”
4 kids wasn’t enough, had to have that fifth one?

Wow. Most truckers drive mellow though. But the drivers going to and fro with oil from the Uintah Basin are fucking assholes. They all go over the speed limit and often are in the fast lane on i80. I see them almost every day since I use i80 to go to work and most other places. And they all have 2 trailers like in this crash. I always feel like one small mistake by them and we all die, they give no shits. Countless times I've sped up to get ahead of them, they freak me out. Always wondered why they are always speeding - quota? Too long of a route every day? White trash meth heads?Quote:

Passing on the right, speeding, swerving in and out of lane, no blinker lane changes, camping in the left lane, groups convoying to disallow cars to pass. Those behaviors are not what I would consider mellow.
Be glad you’re not out on the roads much (apparently) because you’ll live longer that way!
The worst experience I’ve had though was coming back from St. George on Sunday after thanksgiving. I normally travel outside of busy times but in this instance we wanted to beat the storm. Well holy fuck these frustrated holiday go getters were straight up crazy town. Saw 3 different crashes in the constant red snake and drivers just acting like fools. Was thankful when I pulled the camper into Brighton , alive but frazzled after 7hours+ hell ride.
For holiday travel I will often avoid I-15 and go through Milford, Delta and Tooele. It’s not much longer, it can be faster, and you avoid Utah valley and south Salt Lake Valley. It is also more scenic and more places to let the dogs out.Quote:

There was a month where every time I drove I-15 I saw a major accident
I will not allow my daughter to drive on I15. I value her life too much.
My neighbor fell asleep at the wheel of a semi tandem. He survived and the retired wit a pension. At 63 he found that 4 hours of sleep a night didn't cut it. Another thing I saw by hanging out at the local truck stop. It's become such a shitty low paying job that it's one of those jobs that Americans won't do. Like working in a chicken processing plant or picking cabbage.
