You dont know what the hell your talking about. Slaves may have said dont end up as gator bait. They would throw slaves to alligators. Know your history
@@thelightknight7245 so because other people used that term we are not allowed to use it for a different reason? You are looking for too much dirt to call everything racist.
For all of you guys that think it’s ok to sing gator bait. It came from slave owners taking slave babies for gator bait and sometimes the alligators will get the babies before they could grab them. So no it’s not ok to sing the gator bait song
Thank you it's not ok. We were all were sad when the toddler was taken by the gator at Disney. Here a chant that is reminding you of a dark dark History when slave babies were used as alligator bait to catch bull alligators!!! So yes its something very wrong with it!!!
I’m a Florida fan and I’m pretty sure fans will still say gator bait at games. The player who thought of it didn’t mean it to be racist in any way. Just like on how the tomahawk Seminole chant isn’t meant to be racist at all it’s a cheer. I’m waiting until the War Eagle chant Auburn uses gets called racist and removed because I believe it has origins from the Civil War.
All over the country, anything and everything that has an evil history should not be embraced, praised, or hidden but should be in museums, and taught as part of American history.
U ppl whipped, raped, pillaged, enslaved, and killed and we supposed to believe you guys would be against something like that even tho it’s a prevalent term in the English language and has origins ONLY rooted in transatlantic slavery
Did you know that the chant was started by a former player in 1995? And that player is black and who has stated that he does not agree with the decision to stop the use of the chomp.
Gator Bait was a term used a long time ago by racist white people. The term died and no one knows about it anymore. Then Lawrence Wright came up with the new term many years later. You can't compare something from 300 years ago and call it a racist statement, its dumb. Its like saying you can't say water anymore because someone thought it meant a racist statement like a thousand years ago. They are two completely different meanings and nobody thinks about the racist statement. SO WHY EVEN BRING IT BACK UP? Its creates more controversy between everyone. Like it doesn't help that we are bringing the statement back up just to divide more people against more people
exactly, lets just dig up every racist phrase and make it so we can't speak anymore and have black people angry about WORDS that no one on this earth is responsible for.
They want to deny our history We want to tear down all statues associated with history. The first slaves were brought here by the Spaniards?, Do we now bulldoze every Spanish fort in America?. In all fairness if everyone wants to get rid of anything associated with slavery or civil rights. Then all should be taken down including all MLK statues, streets and boulevards. We don't need none of them. One can't have it neither should the other. In the end this will cause an even greater divide if not a civil war. TRUMP 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🇺🇸
With all due respect, you have been misled about our history. There's nothing wrong with getting rid of a cheer associated with throwing black children out as bait for alligators. No one is saying we should tear down plantations (I'm fact you've probably been to a wedding at one) so why would we tear down Spanish forts?
Also getting rid of Confederate statues is not getting rid of our history. Do you know when most of those statues were built? Post reconstruction. A long time after the civil war due to a deliberate attempt to rewrite history. Tearing down statues of racist, slave owning Confederates is not destroying history, it's destroying propaganda. We don't need statues of British generals to remember the revolution, Germany doesn't need statues of Hitler to remember to holocaust

Ok obviously you don't know the history of blk children being taken from their mothers and used as "gator bait" but it happened. It's just a chant no big lose. Go Canes!

dumbest crap I've heard, I grew up down there and know the history from the old timers that lived in the swamps.. They told me about their grandpa's etc etc. I've met people who lived in a shack in the swamp for generations no power no running water when I was a kid in the 70's. They all said the same thing back then.. They had always used a chicken, Hog or a goat to bait a gator as far back as anyone could remember.
its real history: based on the volume of postcards came out of Florida. UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA : IS A SCHOOL b. it means they can research things. c. it means they may have some of the postcards and documentation. on the web right now: you can see real photos of toddlers being snapped in by gators /Photoshop did not exist back then. advertising in newspapers for this... the practice was so common that gators got use to.... eating babies. [nothing else will work faster trapping the animal ] The people you met may have used other means: but this was a common practice in Florida. you tie the baby to the thin planted stick/bush. this way the baby cannot climb up a tree.. and the gators gets a clear bite from all angle.. you can get multiply gators .. not just 1.... also in the 70's you are talking 70 years or 50 years when this stopped . but it was a real practice like human leather
Seriously?????? Yet another overreaction. Before too long we won't be allowed to do anything. And to have a former player, who is BLACK, saying he has no issue with it should say something. Just ridiculous how this world is becoming so weak
Using black children as bait for alligators? That is the sickest thing I've ever heard of.
@Love & Peace That's sick. My family aren't originally from florida but my mom's a gators fan as she went to school there.
Still, what people can do to one another never ceases to surprise. Someone who can bring themselves to abuse children isn't really a "person" though

Liberal snowflakes offend me... any chance you can get rid of them for me???
I just was watching a banned rerun of Webster where Webster's parents tryed feeding him to a crocodile but because he was bigger than an infant and armed with a knife (protect against the parents) he gallently fought off the crocodile like Paul Hogan in Crocodile Dundie! All you aspiring comedians feel free to use this as there's absolutely no charge. Please no hate mail, I'm drunk, you have to be to live in the U.S. anymore. Wish they'd have fed my grandmother and her 7 sisters (1904-1999) from louisville Kentucky to the alligators, they were racist as racism can possibly get. Wish I could include some pictures, "a picture's worth a thousand words"
Lmao.... that's hilarious and yes you pretty much have to be drunk to cope with living in the US these days
UA-cam advised me to edit my previous comment. I don't think I'm allowed to have an opinion on my opinion on that opinion that they enforced
@@crk140 AMEN! Racist telling normal people not to be racist LOL you have to love elitist logic
Not a Florida fan but this is one of the most iconic chants in college football. Sad day
Monster
It was a very sad time to use Black babies as(Gator Bait)You get it now sweety.
You’ll get over it
@@UnfilteredAmerica If only you could.
It was a sad day.. It's a football chant.. We are gators.. Our opponents are gator bait. That simple.
A black man created Gator Bait!!
@Love & Peace ok? your point is null and void. It's a college football chant! We're not running around cities screaming gator bait to black people are we?
You better not!
@@2ndstreetmedia171 black people sold black people to European whites!
What about chains and ropes? Are we banning those next?
That sucks 😑
Fuchs is now gator bait!
How is it racist
Ok obviously you don't know the history of blk children being taken from their mothers and used as "gator bait" but it happened. It's just a chant no big lose. Go Canes!
Django Killmonger their not chanting about black babies being used as bait in the 1900s their canting for a football team but people are so sensitive now
@@laquefajacrisbe5097 I agree that this might be a bit much and I'm unsure if the school/team just decided to do it or if it was someone/group had anything to do with it. This might have been unnecessary.
I want proof of said crimes.
@@johnmohon6313 ok dude we're not going to do all that. This dude asked a question, I gave him an answer. You needing proof is something you should deal with. I see you have access to a computer or phone so..... Google it. Have a good night
I'm going to keep saying it
Getting Gator Bait shirts made now. Hope it is the loudest chant the swamp has ever heard!
Absolutely vile
@@jessb4648Why? Why do you ultra-woke types hate when people indulge in fun?
@@jessb4648 Idiot
My guess is they banned the old school song which included "old boys." If memory serves it was an all boys school back in the day.
As an FSU fan, this is so ridiculous and an obvious PR overreaction. Keep the chant.
That's because your ancestors weren't gator bait neither was mine.
I mean if you don’t like it then leave
@@UnfilteredAmerica leave where? You are the cry baby who demanded it be banned. You leave snowflake.
dumbest crap I've heard, I grew up down there and know the history from the old timers that lived in the swamps.. They told me about their grandpa's etc etc. I've met people who lived in a shack in the swamp for generations no power no running water when I was a kid in the 70's. They all said the same thing back then.. They had always used a chicken, Hog or a goat to bait a gator as far back as anyone could remember.
its real history: based on the volume of postcards came out of Florida.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA : IS A SCHOOL b. it means they can research things. c. it means they may have some of the postcards and documentation.
on the web right now: you can see real photos of toddlers being snapped in by gators /Photoshop did not exist back then.
advertising in newspapers for this... the practice was so common that gators got use to.... eating babies. [nothing else will work faster trapping the animal ]
The people you met may have used other means: but this was a common practice in Florida.
you tie the baby to the thin planted stick/bush. this way the baby cannot climb up a tree.. and the gators gets a clear bite from all angle..
you can get multiply gators .. not just 1.... also in the 70's you are talking 70 years or 50 years when this stopped . but it was a real practice like human leather
@@cinnamonstar808 where can I find these pictures??
Smh like really.
Go gators
🤦♀️
😂😂😂😂 Gator Bait is racist NOW? Okayyyyyyy then….guess the black guy is racist hahahahaha
Uuuuuggghhhhhh
I’m glad they got rid of the song! Good!
Seriously?????? Yet another overreaction. Before too long we won't be allowed to do anything. And to have a former player, who is BLACK, saying he has no issue with it should say something. Just ridiculous how this world is becoming so weak
Good idea
