UCF fans were still chanting “F the Mormons” while a BYU player was down on the field. Watch this one. College football trash talk is nothing new, but this crossed into straight religious targeting. During UCF’s upset of No. 2 BYU, the student section kept up the anti-Mormon chants even after multiple PA warnings and even while a Cougars player was being checked on the turf. Some fans were removed. Days later the Big 12 issued a $100,000 fine and rolled out a new policy: first confirmed incident gets the fine and a warning; a second one in the same game can trigger an actual on-field penalty. This isn’t the first time BYU has heard it on the road — Colorado State, Cincinnati, and others have been fined or forced to apologize for the same kind of stuff. The pattern is the point. When the target is a religious school and the chant is aimed at the faith itself, the reaction from the broader sports media and culture is usually a shrug or a quick “that’s just fans” until the conference has to step in. That double standard is what regular people notice. You can dislike a team, you can root hard, you can even be obnoxious — but yelling a slur at someone’s religion while a player is hurt is a different category, and pretending otherwise is why these incidents keep repeating.Would you have been fine if the chant had been aimed at any other faith the same way? Have you seen this kind of religious targeting get brushed off at games you’ve been to?If you want unfiltered truth and commonsense analysis that cuts through the noise, hit subscribe and turn on notifications.Today's sponsors: -Real Estate Agents I Trust:Find a trusted real estate agent atRealEstateAgentsITrust.com.-Blaze TV: Get $40 off a BlazeTV+ annual subscription with code POLLWATCH40.
