Florida will no longer use 'Gator Bait'

[StevieRay]

How fucking snowflaked can one get???


[h=1]Florida will no longer use 'Gator Bait' cheer due to phrase's 'horrific racist imagery'[/h]

[FONT=&quot]Fuchs, in his letter, said the “horrific racist imagery” associated with the “gator bait” phrase caused the school to immediately discontinue using the cheer. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“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. Accordingly University Athletics and the Gator Band will discontinue the use of the cheer,” Fuchs wrote[/FONT]

“Know of no racist evidence” but “horrific racist imagery”

bahahahaja What a fucking fag

 

[slapshot]

Hahaha

fucking unreal

 

[BuzzKill]

F**k that!

 

[StevieRay]

[FONT=&quot]good luck stopping the student section from the chant. Instead of retiring the cheer how about retiring Fuchs

Gators like white meat and dark meat

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]The left makes the church of Scientology look normal

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]But kneeling during the anthem is encouraged, because absolutely nobody (who matters) finds it offensive
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Want to guess how many MORE people are now going to use this cheer, just to stick it to these overpaid PC bureaucrats?
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]this is starting to have the opposite effect on people, I now resent and hate blacks doing this

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Keep electing dems and this is what your world will be like forever!

So call me stupid, but what is the "racist" imagery that this cheer signifies?

I bought three Gator Bait shirts today. This is beyond moronic. There is nothing racist about this cheer. I will wear this shirt to every game I ever go to in the future.

Defund the universities and I am a Gator alum.

I had no clue what gator bait even was...not very catchy. It's no Tomahwak Chop.

everyone thinks that is racist and yet it was an ode to Deion Sanders

I just thought it was kinda dumb. Not a catchy beat in my opinion.

 

[Albatross]

Florida sucks anyways.....who cares.

Wonder what MuLLLen thinks?

 

[he_dblhockeystx]

I read they use to refer to black babies as gator bait in the 1800’s. That’s why there going after this

UGA band will drop "Tara's Theme" from their portfolio because the song is used in Gone With the Wind. of course it was written by Princeton in 1898 and has absolutely nothing to do with racism or slavery but because GWTW used it 40 years later it must now cease to exist

 

[slapshot]

Texas will fold if they haven’t already

 

[exploited17]

There is a lie out there with no proof that black babies were fed to gators. No such proof exists. Maybe that is the 'racism'
But either way....context is everything. No one is cheering for gators to eat black babies here
