I hate everything about them. I hate their program, I hate their fans, I hate everything.”

Obviously such comments are going to release a firestorm of criticism and support in a rivalry as heated as BYU v Utah. Indeed the back and forth between the BYU / Utah fans has gone on all week.  What I find most surprising about the statement is not the content itself, but who said it.  Max is a leader of their team, and in very many respects, the public face of BYU’s football program.  For someone in such a position to make such a blatant statement is unacceptable.  Just imagine if everyone similarly placed made such statements.  It is very childish, and it shows a complete lack of control over ones emotions.
