Big fan of homophobic slurs and intimidation in South Carolina huh?
WTH are you talking about. Where did you get that take?
By reading what was posted.
He posted varying multiple incidents of poor band behavior. Princeton band started the problem, so I guess you are a fan of that?
Well it seems the cadets started going after them BEFORE the game. Also what could have the band done that was so bad that the cadets could have broken their instruments, spit on them, stole their hats and called them homophobic slurs? I guess you're a fan of that huh? BTW the citadel is for those who couldn't get into one of the actual military academies while Princeton is one of the best schools in the nation/world.

Singing Christmas Carols is bad? What branch of the military did you serve in, for how long and what did you do in the military. Quit derailing threads and you take your vast left wing progressive posts to the spin room so we can eat you alive.

Did i bring up the Citadel in this conversation? You couldn't eat my **** let alone eat me alive.
We know right wingers like yourself don't see anything wrong with the KKK. Thank god my ancestor did his part killing as many southerners as possible to put down the southern rebellion.

Yeah they were trapped in the tunnel with fans on both ends. They had to be smuggled out in various vehicles from what I was told.
They were lucky to get out unscathed.
Ok, that's pretty funny.
Bands poking fun at opposing teams is a time-honored tradition. But Arkstfan is right - a lot of the stuff the Stanford band has done recently reeks of affluenza.

Rich Texas kids go to SMU. No one I knew at Rice was wealthy. Sons and daughters of schoolteachers and the like.

A fair question. Most college bands consist largely of upper-middle class kids. I don't know many people who played band at any level whose parents didn't have a college degree (which almost automatically puts them in the top 30%).
Rice may be rich kids too - I don't know or care. Same with Kansas State (the Jayhawk vs the Enterprise). Where I draw the line is when you think it's funny to make fun of someone because of their profession (farmers) or their oppressed ancestors (the potato famine). Besides, most of Stanford's "jokes" are poorly performed - the joke is read by an announcer and the band itself doesn't add much to it.

What do you base that on? It seems like thats a completely made up stat.
Also, making fun of the Irish with Notre Dame is fair play.

I think it was classless and not funny. It was not "making fun of the Irish". Mass deaths from starvation as a comedy topic? Interesting take.
Making fun of one million people starving to death and one million people having to flee their homeland in in four years because of British economic policies in an era and land of plenty is "fair play"?
It was an epic, mostly man made disaster (Britain maintained Ireland as a food exporter during the Famine and its conservative "lassiz faire" economic views meant no help) with millions of innocent victims who died horribly or fled on "coffin ships" to America.
What would you think if they made fun of Pearl Harbor or 9/11? Pretty funny stuff, huh?

That depends on the joke. Everything I've found on it just calls it a "potato famine joke" without elaborating.
Mass genocide can be funny if it's done right. For example, I don't know anyone who's offended by this:

Mass genocide can be funny if it's done right. For example, I don't know anyone who's offended by this:
The relevant part from that is, "The school administrators condemned the band's parody of the Irish potato famine, featuring "Seamus O'Hungry," portrayed by the band narrator as representative of a "sparse cultural heritage (that) consisted only of fighting, then starving."
The group also directed criticism at a skit in which a band member dressed as a Catholic cardinal engaged in a mock debate with another band member as the devil: The cardinal expressed a belief in a flat Earth and rejected the theory of evolution. "
Meh, doesn't sound that bad to me. It reeks of ignorance, but nothing to really get offended about as far as the Irish part goes.
The part about the Cardinal is closer to the line and probably over it. But again, it more shows Stanford's ignorance more than anything else.
I understand the frustration because if anyone said that about (insert non-white ethnic group here) they'd be tarred and feathered. But I get mad about the double standard, not when people make fun of my people.
