Props to David and Aullie. That was a great discussion! People don’t realize chanting “F the Mormons” might be isolating your own fans or even PLAYERS. USC fans did it vs BYU. When their OWN QB was “Mormon”. He transferred out of USC that next season
I was at the football game against Oregon when those chants started. Little did the students at Oregon know that there was an Oregon recruit and his family sitting next to the student section that was a member of the church. His father stood up and left with him and his family. The Oregon coaches called while they were driving home and apologized profusely. Dan Lanning addressed the chants after the game. The recruit still committed to Oregon and is serving his mission right now, but nobody would have blamed him for committing to another school. Lots of people seem to think that Mormons only live in Utah and only go to BYU when it’s likely that you have neighbors and co-workers who are LDS. I was with extended family at that game. Huge Oregon fans and all LDS. Several coaches on the Oregon team are LDS. When you attack Mormons, it’s likely you’re attacking some of your own people.
The saddest part of all this is the fact that average people nowadays seem to feel that it is ok to use profane, foul, and filthy language in normal conversation. It's no longer looked at by the younger generations as a thing that IS foul and profane. It seems now to be looked upon as a great way to cheer your team. The majority of those chanting this foul refrain, I'm sure, would not consider themselves to be foul and immoral people and would be shocked to have someone consider their use of that language to be indicative of their personal morality. it's different world we're living in these days.
As a BYU fan, I just don't care anymore. This happens all the time from the student sections at various opposing venues. We are used to it, I'm more upset we lost than the F the Mormons chant. Any member of the Church should expect this to continue, Lehi prophesied about this. "Great and Spacious Building" baby. Hard to get offended when prophesy plays itself out. My fellow Mormons should not be offended, we all know the game.
I guess you're not a follower of Jesus. He said, "All things ye would that men do to you, do ye also to them." The original golden rule. Just because we don't believe the way you do does not make us a cult any more than you are a cult in our eyes. I imagine you have never taken the time to find out just what we believe. You probably "heard" things without investingating for yourself.
@ you deny the trinity which is a cornerstone of Christianity the overwhelming consensus is if you don’t believe all things laid out in the Nicean Creed you are not Christian. The Bible also said that there would be no new revelations after the apostles yet you guys follow Joseph smith. Mormonism is just Islam for blonde hair blue eyed people
@keko How do you handle grocery shopping carts? Do you believe all gossip ? Do you consider yourself christian? Are you always a bigot? 12:27 So, if you don't agree with it, does that make it okay to name-call? 19:13 "Keep it to sports."

low class anti-mormism on the east coast....I'm shocked.
David really made me question everything, my heart and my head are in a different place now. Thanks David for your time!

We don’t care about ignorant detractors. Sadly, they just cement their sad souls as to what they truly are, sad and ignorant. Can’t erase that. 🙄🙄🙄

Wow!!! Great interviews
USC chanted this just a few years ago
So, - what else is new?
They fulfill scripture in their *_endless accusations._* (Revelation 12:10)
We are in _good company_ . (Matthew 5: 10-12.)
And yeah @David Huckvale, think we get it from the same ones that our Jewish American brothers get it from.
What we can’t make fun of cults? What’s next we can’t make fun of Scientologists?

Poor attempt at humor keko. Make fun of who ever you want, nobody gives a shit what you do. You are irrelevant yet you said "WE" in your comment.
@keko
How do you handle grocery shopping carts?
Do you believe all gossip ?
Do you consider yourself christian?
Are you always a bigot?
12:27 So, if you don't agree with it, does that make it okay to name-call?
19:13 "Keep it to sports."
Ignorant post. Are you serious??
