Game report from Laramie (not what you may want to hear)

My 15 year old daughter and I attended the game in Laramie last night. The Wyoming fans we met and sat near were nice. Some were friendly, and some were just quiet and kept to themselves. We had a great time. I heard the F BYU chant or song sung by the students. I chose to ignore that and be happy with everything else going on like the score and the nice weather. I just wasn't able to get too bent out of shape with the chant since they are 18 and 19 year olds.

It was an awesome night, and I would definitely go again if BYU ever comes back.

The problem is these 19 year olds are not learning tolerance and respect

Maybe they are standing up to an institution known for intolerance.

But what if they are not?

I can assure you they were not.

So if it’s wrong in one situation it’s wrong in both. Surely you can see that.

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.

Sep 15, 2:46pm

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.

Sep 16, 12:07am

My kids went too. They said they were mobbed by insults and profanity
