A YouTube video from the BIG 12 Football Addiction channel (74K views in 21 hours) examines the pattern of anti-Latter-day Saint chants that have followed BYU across college football stadiums over the past five years, including at the recent Orlando game. The video notes the PA announcements and venue warnings that have failed to stop the behavior, raising questions about the cultural hostility BYU faces as it rises in national rankings. The phenomenon reflects broader tension around the university's religious identity in secular sports culture.
