RE: Yeah, good straw man
When accusing others of strawmen, better make sure you aren't using any yourself.

"The point of the post wasn't that every Ute fan mocks Mormons"

Didn't say it was. I was criticizing the guy describing TWO f-bombs from the more than 13k people in that arena over a period of approx 2.5 hours as "constant"

"The post was questioning why that 40% or whatever of the Ute fanbase are Mormon are apparently ok with the disrespect served up by the minority of those who love to use athletic events as a forum for intimidating and publicly berating those who believe in a different manner."

Probably the same reason the LDS church is "apparently ok" with other "Christian" groups proselytizing right outside Temple Square, handing out anti-LDS paraphernalia, etc. there during General Conference, etc. They have their rights to free speech just as much as you do.

By the way, spouting f-bombs doesn't constitute "intimidation".

"Since you bring up the word "consistently," that question has been consistently asked by BYU fans for years and I don't see an answer in sight. When the poster said "consistently," I took that to mean that there seems to be a few or a minority that try to confront or provoke a fight at every event. Every event = consistent, not every person = consistent. And that generalization has been my 15 year experience as well."

Then I suggest you invest in some reading glasses. As has been posted in this thread and elsewhere, such behavior happens at EVERY sporting event, yes, even BYU ones, by BYU FANS.
