Okrahomer Posted November 28, 2022 Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) Apparently, the Stanford band presented an interesting halftime performance at last night’s game against BYU. Stanford boasts several LDS players and an LDS Assistant Coach, so I’m guessing this skit was meant to help them all feel welcome. Edited November 28, 2022 by Okrahomer Clarity

Quote The skit comes less than three weeks following a statement issued by Stanford in response to a series of intolerant messages written on a campus Día de los Muertos altar. “Any form of religious bias that shows intolerance to certain rituals and practices of others is unacceptable,” the Nov. 8 statement said. Guess someone didn’t get the message…that is kind of creepy… I thought it was bands playing and cheer squads during halftime. When did they start doing theatre? Edited November 28, 2022 by Calm

Makes me wonder if they mock other religions, or just us.

Nope, they've mocked Catholics as well when they've played against Notre Dame. They have a long history of being controversial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_Band#Stunts_and_incidents But this is also the band that cost their team a win against Cal in 1982 when they went onto the field thinking the game was over and allowed Cal to score the game winning touchdown. 3

The Nehor Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 Worst game of gay chicken ever. Seriously, no fun at all. I remember two of my High School friends were dared to play gay chicken and both were very dedicated. For those unfamiliar with the game it is where two straight people of same gender basically are physically affectionate until one ‘chickens’ out. Anyway those two guys are married now and run a bed and breakfast together. It has been about 23 years now. If one of them doesn’t back off soon I am going to start thinking they actually are gay. 4
