Good for them. Forgive and forget and Now let’s move on!

I believe many sports fans are phillistines. It seems to run rampant in many sports venues. Football is the new Dagon. Deplorable

It's nothing but cheap words. I'll believe that Oregon cares when the chanters are banned from the stadium - at minimum.

They were just saying “let’s go Morgan”. I don’t see the problem.

Spenc, the bigot calling out bigotry. Irony is not dead.

I would have thought Cox would know better than anyone not to blame an entire state or group for the actions of a few. He's used that line many times and is a hypocrite.

Judge not…

Maybe shouldn’t be throwing stones Spence.

SpencerJCox have no fear the crowd at Oregon was mostly LGBTQ so we simply need to love them as Jesus would. Thank you for your pronouns gov’ner.

Sue BYU for millions for their BS stunt at the Duke VB game! Pathetic to bend the knee with ZERO evidence! SHAMEFULL

OaksDallinH … that’s what that looks like

More than what BYU did for Duke.

Utah governor slams Oregon fans for obscene chant at BYU football gameUtah Gov. Spencer Cox quote-tweeted a video slamming Oregon fans who made explicit chants during the Ducks' game against BYU on Saturday. You see, when it actually happens, there are always people there to record it. Eh kids are kids and do and say stupid things. Most probably don't even know what Mormons are. This happens at every game BYU plays at… and I’m not a BYU fan, but when they okayed Arizona years ago at Arizona I was in the AZ student section and the same thing happened. I bet when Notre Dame plays someone you don’t hear “Fu.. the Catholics”… it’s despicable behavior.
