  1. You don’t tell a stadium full of people what you can’t say… Not in the SEC. LSU banned the playing of “Neck” at home games. Now we just sing and the band joins in. Sometime we do it twice. S**K that Tiger D**K BITCH!!

  2. I’m running out of ways to describe the level of stupidity going on.
    It looks like they’re doing this daily to add fuel to the outrage and keep the temperature up.
    Traitors all.

  3. Extreme irony alert. A major institution of “higher education” is paying major bucks to an ignorant, stupid, bigoted, gutless, commie dumb fuck to lead it.

    This shit for brains president of the University of Florida should be fed to the alligators for felony stupidity and cowardice.

    I wonder if the Gator fans will allow themselves to be told what to do by someone not fit to wipe their asses.

    This asshole should be fired today.

  4. Destabilize.
    Atomize.
    “Whoever controls the past, controls the future.”
    Tear America apart at the seams.

    French Revolution
    Russian Revolution
    Wiemar Collapse and the rise of National Socialism

    We’ve seen it all before, and yet we stand with our thumbs up our asses.

    If our institutions don’t defend themselves, they’re not worth defending.
    Civilization trembles – both the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court are held by nihilists posing as socialists – the Senate is thoroughly infiltrated and there are traitors lurking in the hallways of the White House. The State Department is turned, the FBI is corrupt, the NSA and CIA pursue their own destructive agendas, and the President, standing as a mountain, is being worn to a frazzle.

    Money ain’t gonna cure this.

    izlamo delenda est …

  5. I’m a Noles fan and totally pissed off at this. I’m pretty sure the Gator Growl ain’t going away anytime soon; there will be plenty of alumni in the stands to see to that. Racist my Aunt Fanny!

  6. @TN Tuxedo: I’m a fellow Tennessean and supporter of UT, but I’m not so sure they won’t be jumping on the Woke bandwagon as well. Just waiting for someone to find a hidden racist message in “Rocky Top”…….🙄

  7. “While I know of no evidence of racism associated with our ‘Gator Bait’ cheer at UF sporting events, there is horrific historic racist imagery associated with the phrase,”

    Anyone know what “historic racist imagery” he is referring to?

    I can’t think of anything, but I’m not a racist so I wouldn’t know how to use it that way.

  8. fun fact:

    the 13 stripes on the American flag represent the percentage of the population that black people are

    the 50 stars represent the percentage of crimes they commit

  9. I thought this was an article from the Onion. I just have to chuckle and shake my head. BTW: I am a GA Southern fan/alum who has a daughter who is a third generation GA Bulldog alum.

    Southern football goes deeper than the racist hopes of demented haters. It is a fact I will never again see the “Gator Chomp” at a football game between Florida and GA Southern as that happened once in the swamp and the Gators wen’t happy at the end of the day. The reason for not seeing it will not be some silly ban but the fact the Gators were thoroughly embarrassed when they paid the GSU Eagles to come to the swamp and beat them. Florida will never agree to play GSU again.

    I do expect to see it during the annual GA-Fla game. GO DAWGS!

  10. Lest anyone forget that Corporate America is letting this manufactured crisis go to waste, today is Friday the Juneteenth.

    In addition to everyone being poked with a sharp stick in the eye to watch an NPT special on Juneteenth and how the black part of our city was discriminated against when the interstate was built, everyone is also told to “stand” for our values in silence and reflection for 8 minutes and 46 seconds to consider how our actions impact each other and create an environment of respect and inclusivity.

    You will be made to feel guilty for things you have never done.

  11. Everybody here in Florida knows that gator bait refers to the little yappy dogs (a/k/a barking rats) that overweight snowbird women take for walks and let get too close to the ponds and waterways.

  12. We had a president in the 90’s who referred to someone as an oreo, John Lombardi. Fuchs, rhymes with, is an ankle grabber. Why hasn’t Was-a-woman spoken, and Corrine Brown sued for n-equality? Stop this now.

  13. I bet the BLM assholes now sit in a room sniggering and trying to outdo each other in thinking up stupid crap to make whitey do. The shame is that all it takes is one anonymous email accomplish their racist goal.

  14. Switch around the first two letters of Gator Bait, and change one letter and you’ve got Bater Gait. It’s a peculiar way of walking, common with 16 year old boys.
