📣 To the BYU fans who have spent the day attacking me: I, along with hundreds of others, criticized a BYU football player for drawing a parallel between the Savior’s Crucifixion, the disciples’ grief, and the hope of His Resurrection and BYU football’s supposed “darkest days”—losing a single football game. We questioned the appropriateness of using the most sacred event in Christianity as a metaphor for a football loss. And your response? An endless barrage of insults, personal attacks, and hateful rhetoric. I’ve even been told to die and encouraged to take my own life. Let that sink in. People expressed concern about showing proper reverence for Jesus Christ and His sacrifice, and some of you responded with the very behavior His teachings condemn. Where is the Christlike love? The humility? The respect for others? You proudly defend “the Lord’s University,” yet some of you seem incapable of extending even basic human decency to someone who disagrees with you. The hypocrisy is staggering. You can disagree with my interpretation. You can defend the player’s intentions. But there is absolutely no justification for the hatred and personal attacks that followed. You haven’t defended your faith or your university. You’ve demonstrated precisely why so many people find the holier-than-thou attitude surrounding BYU football so deeply off-putting. And perhaps the saddest part is that some of you still cannot recognize the contradiction. Go Utes! 🔴⚪️🏈
