Well seeing that I have no other viable way to express myself, I'll just do it in a way where I can get it out, and most likely nobody will read it. I'm talking about what has been going on between the Y and the U this last week.
First of all, who cares? Does it really matter what one person says? Everyday millions of other people say horrible things about other people, places, and organizations, but does anyone care? This whole thing has gotten way out of hand. I'm tired of reading how many people have joined the "Max Hall thinks I'm classless" or "Max Hall said it, we were all thinking it" groups. In my opinion, everyone who is making a big deal about all of this is worse than they've made Max Hall out to be.
This "friendly rivalry" has evolved into nothing more than a Hate Game. After the game walking home, every Ute fan I walked by cursed at me, and I know the BYU fans were doing basically the same thing to the Ute fans. I'm sick of people hating me because of the school I attend. Am I any different than you? Who cares what school we go to? Does the Football team really have to define who I apparently am? No. So quit telling me that I suck because I go to BYU. Because I never told anyone they suck for going to the U.
This rivalry only causes problems. It breaks friendships and cherished ties. So why don't we all step back and realize who we really are and not judge each other by of the color of their school apparel. This doesn't mean that I don't root for my team, because I do, it's about having school spirit. But I'm not out to tear anyone Else's spirit down in the process.
