Utah Governor Spencer Cox quickly blasted the chant on Twitter, saying it proved religious bigotry “is alive and celebrated in Oregon.”

Fans of the University of Oregon football team were condemned on Saturday after they chanted “Fuck the Mormons” in the second half of a home game against Brigham Young University, a Mormon affiliated school based in Provo, Utah.

It'sthe BYU team has faced such treatment. A University of Oregon official, meanwhile, apologized for the “despicable chants,” adding that the school will investigate the situation; she called on Oregon's “students and campus community to refuse to accept or tolerate this type of behavior.”

The fans do have a point tho

BYU has no room to talk.

What a remarkable contrast, with the bigotry caught on video, to the recent apparent hoax in which BYU fans were falsely accused of bigotry.

Intolerance for intolerance.

JohnAvlon Profanity just demeans the people that use it and hurts their message. In other words, they just look stupid.

The governor should go to a BYU volleyball game if he wants to see bigotry. potkettle

If they didn't think black people were the cursed people and I might have cared about this.

I live here & find this despicable. I work at the inn BYU stayed at & gotta say, all were very friendly & courteous. Never left a mess anywhere. Best athletes that's been here this year.

Like the “N” word shouted at the last BYU game. Hurts doesn’t it.
