The Utah fight song is offensive.

[Mazeppa]

Oh Geez, (in a Fargo accent) (oops I probably just offended the people of Fargo with that). Anyway this song really needs to be rewritten.

I guess the real question is: How in the world did the enlightened people of Utah allow such a sexist song to exist in this PC day and age? Investigations need to be huffed and puffed about, and heads threatened to roll. White male heads, mind you.

[Jason White's Third Knee]

That story makes me want to commit hate crimes.

Marching bands are largely antiquated. They could scrap that too and replace it with a Cold Play cover band.

No. Make that The Fray. Problem solved... Except The Fray sucks.

...it offends me that they are offended

Im still trying to figure out what is so offensive.

[Eielson]

I'm offended that they think their students are brighter than ours.

[olevetonahill]

I wanta see the Girls 1st. If they are the purtiest then No harm no foul. If they Fat an Ugly then Im offended.

"I think this fight song is setting a standard. It's allowing hurtful speech to be perpetrated," Associated Students of the University of Utah member Alison Boyer said. "Even if it was not intended to offend people, it's offensive to people now."

She is going to do great in the workplace.

I am sure she would find something offensive in OUr "Sooner Born, Sooner Bred and when I die, I'm sooner dead" lyrics...

[opksooner]

The 'huskers do it, too:

Utah's fight song words should be changed to "Utah Utah Utah Utah Utah Utah Utah U." When I heard it the first time (the BCS buster game against Pitt...Fiesta Bowl, right?) that was what I thought it sounded like. I was disappointed when I learned there were actual lyrics to it.

All fight songs should be designed like Boomer Sooner... fun, repetitive and easy to sing (and troll opponents)

Indians already did.

No no. That would be a lie. It's a well known fact Wisconsin holds that title.

[picasso]

Doesn't k-state's mention something about all of them being pasty white honkeys?

If not then it should.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Indians already did.

Ok, what's offensive here?
