Ugly chant steals the show at Autzen Stadium
Oregon’s terrific win over BYU on Saturday was overshadowed by a disappointing and disgraceful development. Some fans in the student section at Autzen Stadium broke into a “F—k the Mormons” chant during the game.

I didn’t hear it from the press box. But the student section is located completely across the stadium from where media sit. As much as I’d like to be writing more today about a sterling defensive effort from UO, great play calling, and a terrific performance from quarterback Bo Nix, that ugly chant has now stolen the show.

It’s an example of how a thin stripe of fans can turn what should have been a wonderful day into something disappointing and offensive. It’s become a national news story.

The university apologized to BYU, calling the chants “offensive and disgraceful....”"

Will they ban the students from the games?

Since the new SCOTUS majority said it’s cool to effectively force high school kids to be coerced into adult-orchestrated school prayer, lest we violate the rights of every would be dipshit Dabo wannabe, then I for one fully support the Oregon student body for exercising their religious right to pillory the most absurd version of Christianity in public. BYU and Baylor deserve each other.

No. None of the fans that took part in the chant will be banned. They would do the exact same thing if they played Notre Dame, and Liberty, although I doubt they would play Liberty in the first place. But if they did, they would escalate their bigotry by assaulting fans from Liberty and by calling them Nazi's or whatever the insult of the day is.

Oregon is far left liberal state. Portland is the unofficial national headquarters for Antifa since all the riots have been taking place there over the last few years. The governor and the University of Oregon attempting a meely mouth apology for what happened is pathetic. They are all just as stupid and evil as the fans who led the chant. They hate religious people, except Muslims, because we all know what would happen if Muslims were given that treatment.

And the worse part of it is, many of the citizens in Oregon think it's ok to do this. They are just as stupid and evil as the students, the governor, and the officials at the university.

Oregon is a forever lost state, just like California and Washington.

The West Coast rules. Being vocal in one’s dislike for Liberty, Baylor, BYU, or Notre Dame isn’t necessarily bigotry, especially if you dislike sexual assault, racism, or the negligent homicide of student volunteers.

Article on SCOTUS decision

I am not naive-- but I still don't get the reason/need for this chant. Drunk? Why not chant FOR Oregon or at the worst BYU s***s!

IMO students should be banned for one game-- this would show the University is serious.

I say these opinions even though I am one of those who thinks political correctness has gone too far.

But this was just very disrespectful.

The West Coast may be a cool place.for you, but for many people, especially those who have left California, it isn't. I will agree that Baylor has gotten off easy from the homicide investigation and the sexual assault investigation, and should have received harsher punishment that didn't involve any mention of the death penalty. But, screaming racism has gotten so old to the point where it doesn't really have that much of an effect anymore. Has it ever occurred to you that there may be some decent people that go to these universities that just want to get a degree to get ahead in life, and that they aren't associated with the people who run these universities?

Not at all. There are people who would read what I said that would agree with me, either based on similar opinion, or by experiencing life in Oregon. However, they would not be inclined to respond because they would have to deal with nonsensical world salad responses from you.

Ugly chant steals the show at Autzen Stadium
Oregon’s terrific win over BYU on Saturday was overshadowed by a disappointing and disgraceful development. Some fans in the student section at Autzen Stadium broke into a “F—k the Mormons” chant during the game.

I didn’t hear it from the press box. But the student section is located completely across the stadium from where media sit. As much as I’d like to be writing more today about a sterling defensive effort from UO, great play calling, and a terrific performance from quarterback Bo Nix, that ugly chant has now stolen the show.

It’s an example of how a thin stripe of fans can turn what should have been a wonderful day into something disappointing and offensive. It’s become a national news story.

The university apologized to BYU, calling the chants “offensive and disgraceful....”"

Will they ban the students from the games?

Agree that it was a brainless, childish chant. If they have a legitimate beef with BYU's conservative politics, they could have come up with a much more intelligent chant that would have made the crowd think about their viewpoint. A humorous/sarcastic anti-BYU chant(s), combined with appropriate (not profanity-laced) anti-BYU protest signs or roll-outs would have been more acceptable and would have made their point.

Better still, they could have done something much more creative. They could have organized a whole section of students to dress up in rainbow colors, with gay flags flying, etc. Throw in a few gay "Queens" for shock value, and some bright balloons, and it could have been quite hilarious - yet would have made the point clearly.

What they did instead was to make themselves look like idiots.

Banning the known offenders from attending any more home fb games this year would seem like an appropriate response. In addition, the University should probably implement some kind of educational project to educate the student body about the importance of religious tolerance.

I'd like to see U. Oregon do a special speakers' series, in which they invite a few esteemed Mormons to participate in scholarly (non-political) presentations on campus, to make it clear that there are some wonderful Mormons in this world, just like there are wonderful people of all faiths (and non-faiths).

At the same time, I'm wondering what may have triggered this anti-Mormon outburst. Perhaps the most likely explanation is that there's a general revulsion of Mormonism on campus, due to Mormon discrimination/bigotry toward gays, lesbians, and trans-gendered people. Perhaps the students who exploded with their angry chants were frustrated because they objected to Oregon scheduling BYU, in the first place.

If the student body at Oregon doesn't want to compete in athletics vs. BYU, they have every right to petition the university or demand a cessation of scheduling of games vs. BYU. No one should force them to have contacts of any kind with a university that promotes bigotry, in the form of anti-LGBT discrimination.

I, for one, strongly support LGBT rights, and would be very strongly opposed to my alma mater scheduling any sport event vs. BYU, Liberty, or any other institution that has anti-LGBT policies and institutionalized discrimination against such people.

.

SUGGESTION: PLEASE CONSIDER REVISING THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD TO:

"GROUP OF OREGON FANS DISPLAYS RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY."

The way the title is currently written, it suggests that all of the Oregon fans displayed religious bigotry, when the truth is that a fairly limited number of them did so.

To attempt to tar the entire student body at the U. of Oregon with an accusation of hate speech could itself be a type of stereotyping and thus, bigotry.

. . . .

btw, I found this video, which shows some of the chanting. There may be others.





The way it appears to me, the chanting may have been done by a relatively small group of (50-100) obnoxious morons.

The Duke volleyball player that made up the story about racial slurs during her volleyball game should be jailed.
While her ruse wasn't as elaborate as Jussie Smollett's, she should be punished.

I wish this thread was on the MAGA board.
Politics ruin everything.

Non opportune time while also whoring yourself to the Big Ten. Big Ten is a conference of class and this isn't good in that regard.

The University of Oregon sincerely apologizes for an offensive and disgraceful chant coming from the student section during yesterday’s game against Brigham Young University. 1/2
September 18th 2022


Ugly chant steals the show at Autzen Stadium
Oregon’s terrific win over BYU on Saturday was overshadowed by a disappointing and disgraceful development. Some fans in the student section at Autzen Stadium broke into a “F—k the Mormons” chant during the game.

I didn’t hear it from the press box. But the student section is located completely across the stadium from where media sit. As much as I’d like to be writing more today about a sterling defensive effort from UO, great play calling, and a terrific performance from quarterback Bo Nix, that ugly chant has now stolen the show.

It’s an example of how a thin stripe of fans can turn what should have been a wonderful day into something disappointing and offensive. It’s become a national news story.

The university apologized to BYU, calling the chants “offensive and disgraceful....”"

Will they ban the students from the games?

Agree that it was a brainless, childish chant. If they have a legitimate beef with BYU's conservative politics, they could have come up with a much more intelligent chant that would have made the crowd think about their viewpoint. A humorous/sarcastic anti-BYU chant(s), combined with appropriate (not profanity-laced) anti-BYU protest signs or roll-outs would have been more acceptable and would have made their point.

Better still, they could have done something much more creative. They could have organized a whole section of students to dress up in rainbow colors, with gay flags flying, etc. Throw in a few gay "Queens" for shock value, and some bright balloons, and it could have been quite hilarious - yet would have made the point clearly.

What they did instead was to make themselves look like idiots.

Banning the known offenders from attending any more home fb games this year would seem like an appropriate response. In addition, the University should probably implement some kind of educational project to educate the student body about the importance of religious tolerance.

I'd like to see U. Oregon do a special speakers' series, in which they invite a few esteemed Mormons to participate in scholarly (non-political) presentations on campus, to make it clear that there are some wonderful Mormons in this world, just like there are wonderful people of all faiths (and non-faiths).

At the same time, I'm wondering what may have triggered this anti-Mormon outburst. Perhaps the most likely explanation is that there's a general revulsion of Mormonism on campus, due to Mormon discrimination/bigotry toward gays, lesbians, and trans-gendered people. Perhaps the students who exploded with their angry chants were frustrated because they objected to Oregon scheduling BYU, in the first place.

If the student body at Oregon doesn't want to compete in athletics vs. BYU, they have every right to petition the university or demand a cessation of scheduling of games vs. BYU. No one should force them to have contacts of any kind with a university that promotes bigotry, in the form of anti-LGBT discrimination.

I, for one, strongly support LGBT rights, and would be very strongly opposed to my alma mater scheduling any sport event vs. BYU, Liberty, or any other institution that has anti-LGBT policies and institutionalized discrimination against such people.

I can't find it, but buried somewhere in these posts is a news story about a BYU fan shouting racist remarks at a volleyball match vs Duke. I tend to believe it was in retaliation for that incident. Doesn't excuse it, but I think that's what led to it.
