So what religion are fans being persecuted for when that type of behavior (and much, much worse) occurs at a Michigan vs. Ohio State game?

I think zoobs have been conflating typical college football fandom with religious persecution for decades. I know BYU was late to the game, waiting until 1972 to discover football, but one would think 40 years would be long enough to figure out the difference between bigotry and sports. I guess when a fan base is whacked enough to believe that God - the God - is on the side of their football team and no others, one should expect their narcissistic insanity to spill over into everything else.

NEW: That sort of behavior is inexcusable and embarrassing, but I still wouldn't characterize anything she described as inherently anti-Mormon. Some people don't seem to understand that over the top behavior doesn't necessarily equal religious bigotry. (nm)

NEW: The "Who, me?" response is even more tired than the "Here's a Utah fan who corroborates my view" posts. (nm)

NEW: At least a 'drunk idiot' has a reason to act that way because alcohol lowers inhibitions. The non-drinking fans who exhibit such behavior, without alcohol removing inhibitions, are far more hate-filled.

NEW: I have been a season ticket holder in W13 since 1994 and I have never once witnessed behavior of this kind as she describes. Is it my section that behaves with good sportsmanship or are these "reports" just complete bull crap? (nm)
