Oregon Issues Apology for Students’ Vulgar Chant at Game vs. BYU

On Sunday, Oregon released a statement and apology after a video surfaced online showing the program’s student section chanting “f— the Mormons” during Saturday’s home game against BYU.

“The University of Oregon sincerely apologizes for an offensive and disgraceful chant coming from the student section during yesterday’s game against Brigham Young University,” the statement read. “These types of actions go against everything the university stands for, and it goes against the spirit of competition. We can and will do better as a campus community that has no place for hate, bias or bigotry.
