Fans of No. 5 Gonzaga have been asked to stop yelling "Brokeback Mountain" at opposing players.
The reference to the recent movie about homosexual cowboys was chanted by some fans during Monday's game against Saint Mary's, and is apparently intended to suggest an opposing player is gay.
The chants were the subject of several classroom discussions over the past week, and the faculty advisers for the Kennel Club booster group urged students this week to avoid "inappropriate chants" during the Bulldogs' Saturday game against Stanford, which was nationally televised on ESPN.
"We implore the students of the Kennel Club to show the nation this weekend what makes Gonzaga different," Kennel Club advisers David Lindsay and Aaron Hill wrote in a letter in the student newspaper, the Bulletin. "We challenge the students of the Kennel Club to exhibit the class, the creativeness and the competitive drive that has become a foundation of this great university."

sounds like a hate crime to me.
OMG. This sounds like a HATE CRIME to me! < sarc>
This stupid movie has opened a whole can of worms.
Okaaay then - what does the Kennel Club WANT them to yell to intend to suggest an opposing player is gay?
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!
Why should the people who support
Gays be at all offended by this?
If being gay is who you are what's
discriminatory about being called
what you are...?
People who are not gay, could care less!
The REAL problem is Chosing to
behave gay is wrong and the selfish
do want any consequences for their
perversions.
Now that's a REAL movie review!
I've heard this online in gaming forums already.
People saying "Thats so brokeback mountain" (Thats so gay)
You mean something like the Bombhead Backlash? You could be right, but at least the homosexers aren't out there threatening to kill everyone. Could be a free-speech issue at that. Did the muzzies awaken a giant?
What do you call a gay basketball player?
A faggot.
This movie's fifteen minutes of shame should've been up after the third joke.
LOL....a supposedly great film, 10 Academy awards at stake, millions of dollars spent telling us what a classic this 'movie' truly is; and the reality is that the 'little' people see right through the whole charade, and are declaring that the emperor has no clothes.
Go Zags.
