"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."

It should be stopped like Tiger Bait because its a dumb cheer. Calling your opponent bait is not an insult

It's amazing that this amount of stupidity isn't even surprising.

I legit thought this was a joke.

I’m on board with removing confederate monuments and considering campus building updates. But this is just placating nobody in particular because you want to do something attention-worthy.

Hopefully the fans still do the chant on their own.
