I've never had a problem with LDS folks who are Ute fans. No issue at all.

I have had a hard time understanding why they would "hate" BYU. I've had a hard time understanding why they would "hate" Bronco Mendenhall for talking about church and family being more important than football and having firesides.

I don't think you have to be a Utah fan to be a bad member of the church. I know plenty of people who are bad members who aren't Utah fans too.

Many BYU fans JOKE about not being a good member if you're a Utah fan.

I doubt you have spent your time mocking the church or its ordinances. Whether a member or not is not how most

I’m pretty sure I remember President benson saying you can’t be a good member

Agreed, cheer for UU if you want, but I don't get LDS people who hate BYU

Spence is a good listen, especially for NBA content.

Sports fandom is a weird thing that crosses religious, societal, political norms

I feel that most members who are Utah fans may dislike the BYU football team but not the school as a whole.

Paul James was a big U guy too before he eventually saw the huge contrast between conduct in BYU and Utah fans.

BYU fans don’t think Utah fans can’t be good members of the church. And any that do are idiots. We’ve all known good
