I took the kids out yesterday evening to get some parts for a project we were working on and didn’t realize that the BYU / Utah football game was close to kickoff. This red car with four Ute flags came speeding up behind us honking, and the occupants were yelling obscenities at all the cars they passed.
I kind of smiled and laughed at, who I thought were, some kids from Utah.
But when this car pulled up alongside us, it was a grown man smoking who was maybe 45-50. He flipped us off and screamed F%*$ BYU and F%*$ you! then sped off to the next car…
I was a little confused and just kept thinking, what? I mean…. he’s old… I’m not playing naive and have seen it plenty before, but seriously? I just felt sorry and a little embarrassed for him. It’s just a kid’s school game. I get as an alumnus of a school, you may want to donate and support kids going to your former school. I get that. I also get that people still take pride in how kids do that play at their former school. Or taking pride in any school your kids go to. But that? I will never get that.
