I also had a great experience with Wyoming fans.

Never heard anything derogatory about my religion. The only bad fans were the drunk BYU fans behind us who were using bad language and openly rooting for Retzlaff to get hurt, not to mention their greatest infraction, not understanding the game of football.

Chanting the F-bomb is seen as standing for something in your mind?

Is there a difference between intolerance and a belief system? Yes there is!

Wow, I never seen “tolerance” put into words so well before. Well done.

Who would they learn it from…? They’re at a university. In Wyoming.

Yes. The word loses its power if we don't get apoplectic about it.

I’ve never seen anyone “freak out” over profanity. Lots of people discourage it.

I've seen the freakouts numerous times.

If it’s just a word, why won’t you spell the whole word?

Good point!

Sep 15, 3:07pm

The odd thing about words is that they actually exist to communicate. Your reaction changes nothing about their meaning.
