Max Hall’s “Classless” Behavior
Posted by Andrew | Filed under Education
If you haven’t heard about this story than most likely you aren’t a fan of either BYU or Utah football. And you most likely don’t know who Max Hall is and if that is the case, don’t continue reading because you are better off not knowing who this ignorant meat head is. He is the quarterback for the BYU Cougars and last weekend he suffered diarrhea of the mouth when he said that he hated everything about the University of Utah and called everyone associated with them “classless.”
Actually, before he said the U was classless, he said “I don’t like Utah. In fact, I hate them. I hate everything about them. I hate their program, their fans, I hate everything.” Continuing on, “I think the whole university and their fans and the organization is classless. They threw beer on my family and stuff last year and did a whole bunch of nasty things. I don’t respect them and they deserved to lose.”
Great, so just because a couple a drunken wazzocks with Ute caps on accidentally spilled beer on his family, we are all “classless.” Max Hall issued an apology for his comments on Sunday saying, “It was not intended to be directed at the entire organization and all of their fans and I apologize that it came out that way.” Excuse me? When you say something like “I don’t like Utah. In fact, I hate them.” and “I think the whole university and their fans and the organization is classless,” I think your comments are in fact directed at the entire university.
But you know who is really classless? BYU if they don’t suspend Hall for their Bowl game. They won’t because they think that the apology they wrote for him would be enough, but the fact remains that he did not act like a sportsman and the Mountain West Conference agrees with me on this.
They need to send a clear message to everyone else currently on their team and any high school juniors and seniors hopeful to join them. They need to show that they will not tolerate this kind of behavior that does not reflect well on BYU of the Church that they represent. Last time I checked, Thomas S. Monson wasn’t telling the press “I hate the Methodists.” By the way, Monson is a Utah alumni and I’m sure Hall thinks he’s classless.
