Media largely ignores anti-Mormon chant at Oregon-BYU game
Story follows debunked viral claim of a BYU student shouting racial slurs at a Black volleyball player
Media outlets like CNN and MSNBC overlooked the recent incident involving Oregon Ducks fans shouting obscenities during a college football game on Saturday.

Over the weekend, videos emerged of Oregon fans loudly chanting "f--- the Mormons" during a game against Brigham Young University, a private school sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, R., shared one video of fans chanting on his Twitter account, calling the chant an example of religious bigotry.

"Religious bigotry alive and celebrated in Oregon," Cox tweeted.
To all
@BYUfootball
fans in attendance at todays game we would like to apologize for the actions of the students in attendance. We do not condone or support any hateful speech directed towards one’s religion and are ashamed of those who participated.
