LETTER: Aggies treated badly at tourney

Editor,

I attended the Big West tourney this last weekend. First off let me say congratulations to an amazing tournament win. Most fans at Univeristy of the Pacific recognize that you were the better team Saturday night.

I am writing in regards to demeaning and what I call racist comments that were being yelled from our stands. When your player (Pak I beleive) had the ball in his posssesion our fans chanted a phrase that represents horrible thoughts and emotions for anyone that hears it. Also the continued bashing of the Mormon religion gave me intense feelings of embarassment. I assure you that the people yelling the comments were 100 percent ignorant to the comments they were yelling. Being religous I found that you may not agree with a religion but you need to find a way to live with and respect humans in this world regardless of their religous views.

There are many good and bad things that come from a rivalry such as our’s but I believe that UOP acted in a manner that does not represent our team or our university as a whole. Best of luck at the tourney of tourneys.
