While I know of no evidence of racism associated with our “Gator Bait” cheer at UF sporting events, there is horrific historic racist imagery associated with the phrase. Accordingly University Athletics and the Gator Band will discontinue the use of the cheer.

Fuchs was grasping at anything to get some virtue signalling points. I don't think this is going how he thought it would.

This is really becoming a boring non existing roller coaster ride that is never going to end whats next. Can't sing ole boys of Florida before the 4th quarter or we can't call BHG the Swamp anymore or you can't say LSWHO fans smell like corndogs anymore.
I'm so over all this SJW BS I never thought in a million years that doing the gator bait chant would be considered racist.
This is utter Stupidity fuchs

This is just the beginning. All the wonks that run the university hate the athletic program and will eventually crater it.

Fellas, I hate the Gators but when I visit for a game this year I'll make sure I do the Gator Bait chant just for the shear stupidity of the whole situation.

Every year Americans of almost all stripes vote against Identity Politics.
Every year, liberals try to run on it.
4 more years incoming.

This is definitely not true. Fuchs is a big reason we are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on facility improvements.

I guess we should all be worried

Yep. One of my father's siblings worked for Fuchs for years when he was at Cornell. He's a good guy and has no issues with campus athletics; quite the opposite. Have we not gotten to bring back "Move back, you suck?" Fuchs is far less a stick in the mud than Machen was.
And any of you that think this was some unilateral decision where he just woke up one morning and decided to get rid of this have no idea how universities actually work.
I don't agree with the decision and think it was a self fulfilling prophecy. I don't think really anyone, black or white, aside from a literally a few professors on campus connected these two things. I've never even heard any of the groups that represent minority views bring it up, so this was some really esoteric shite. As such, I think it was a complete overreaction by the administration. However, none of us won't think of them both now because of that press release.
That being said, I'm not going to act like Fuchs is some football hating dictator hellbent on destroying football and Florida traditions. I think he's just betting on the wrong horse here.
