I initially thought this was an Onion article


"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."

Next article -

They can no longer play the Imperial March because Vader’s beautiful black image was sullied when it was revealed he was a crusty old white man. They’re trying to say deep down we all want to be white!

WTF? Yeah so I'm no longer going to games. There's absolutely no reason to change a chant that literally every UF fan does, black, white, brown or green (mascots).

Victim culture and pseudo intellectuals are really riding this wave with great efficiency.

Is there really? I've got to say having lived in Florida and gone to school at UF, this is the first I have ever heard "gator bait" being associated with racist imagery

Why can't frickers put their damn foot down and say enough is enough! Does it really bother someone or are they just virtue signaling to see how much shite they can stir??

Some little white pussified nerd is patting himself/herself on the back right about now.
