Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5277386, member: 7511"] Nan, You really do miss the point. I know he was talking about their fans and not the Pope. How would all the UConn fans respond if a ND fan referred to us as “jerks & cretins.” We have a number of ND fans on the BY, and I enjoy their input. The entire sequence makes no sense. First there is a good natured discussion about the Pope’s connection to Villanova, and then someone decides to make derogatory remarks about ND, BC & the ACC based on absolutely nothing. You and the other administrators of this site have shut down similar disparaging remarks directed at TN, SC and other schools and their fans. I have absolutely no idea why you are supporting this nonsense. One final point, we all know that Paige is deeply religious with a strong sense of social justice. There have been a very few occasions when individuals posted comments critical of her on that basis. The response by the BY was like Piranhas on a roast, to borrow Coach Schaefer’s remark. Why would we ever tolerate someone mocking the faith of someone else, just because they are not UConn fans. Finally, just to be clear, UConn is the only purely secular university in the Big East. If anyone doesn’t have the right to criticize ND & BC based on their religion, It’s UConn fans. [/QUOTE]
