I hate having to defend my God from the ignorance of "Christianity". To those of you who whine that this shouldn't be allowed...maybe you misread the part when Jesus said "The world WILL hate you because it first hated me."
To the fools defending the mascot, I can prove God's existence on your level of thinking. However, you cry for "equality" day and night. Given that Christians receive the least "equal" share. Parade around Stalin, it's not too long before your own people kill you themselves.
Wow University of Minnesota, this video makes me ashamed of Minnesota. Regardless of whatever anyone else says, this is how I feel. I am so glad I didn't go to that University. That lacks a lot of class.
The mascot probably shouldn't have done this but it's still a little funny. Come on youtube viewers and have a sense of humor. Plus I don't know what's more harmful a mascot slightly poking fun at something in something such as a collegiate sports event or a bunch or nut jobs killing doctors who perform abortions.
I wish I could say that I can't believe how craven the UMinn administration is, but knowing uni administrators too well I can't say that. Still, I will say that anyone who finds this kind of gentle mockery offensive is overreacting. It's clear from the video that Goldy is simply riffing on the way that the football player at prayer resembles someone in a three-point stance, which Goldy adopts right opposite him. One should be more offended by the crass proselytization of groups like the FCA.
@Nullifidian Showing faith is a legal right federally and outlined in every student handbook...Mocking a religious belief falls under freedom of speech in the general public but is NOT allowed as outlined in all student handbooks due to the poor nature, tension, and violence it will cause. This mascot gently mocking this religious player has still broke the U of Minnesota's code of conduct and should be reprimanded. Where one person might think its harmless fun...another is deeply insulted.
@waynerd23 I've never seen a student handbook that said one could never mock a religion or religious act, so I have sufficient reason to reject the universal claim that it is "NOT allowed as outlined in all student handbooks". This is even less relevant in the context of a football game, where the mascot was not acting as the UMinn student, but rather as a clown in a plush costume whose entire object is to mock the other team. Being "deeply insulted" is not a license to dictate to other people.
@Nullifidian I believe you when you say, "I've never seen a student handbook". Either that statement alone is true or you're straight-up lying. I'm betting you have never opened a handbook before. Its in there... in all of them. Just like its in high school handbooks, workplace handbooks, the Uniform Code of Military Justice "handbook"... I could go on but I'm not going to teach someone who is too ignorant to learn the truth.
@waynerd23 So your choice when faced with a claim you cannot possibly support is to double down on your lie. The rules of student life are defined in the campus code of conduct. The student conduct code for UMinn bans the usual things, like criminal activity, academic dishonesty, disruption of the class, hazing, etc. But I cannot find anywhere in this list where "Thou shalt not gently mock the beliefs or practices of some religious people" is included. Do you think you could find it for me?
@harmonycostal Luckily, we do not live in a theocracy, and the wounded feelings of some hypersensitive theists is not a basis for either law nor code of conduct at a publicly-funded university. As I said above, "Being 'deeply insulted' is not a license to dictate to other people."
@Nullifidian From the perspective of the theocratic government, "God himself is recognized as the head" of the state, even tho so many Americans do not acknowledge God as the head of "everything" He is and will always be. He gives everyone including leaders in American government the ability to do what they do, even tho their gift is abused.Theism, in the broadest sense, is the belief that at least one deity exists. If you can't comprehend the truth I feel sad for you. Read Bible
@harmonycostal I've read the Bible, and I could already define "theism" without your assistance.
By the way, if your god gives the leaders in American government the ability to do what they do, then when you're next at prayer could you respectfully ask him to knock it off? I can't think of a worse cabal of hypocrites, idiots, and grifters than the leadership of the U.S. government, and enabling them is only making things worse. Just look at the proposal for 'detaining' citizens.
I'm not a religious guy at all, but that doesn't change that this is pretty fucked up...let him do what he wants to do, believe what he wants to believe. Just because you don't agree doesn't give you the right to do something like that. Jeez.
I feel sorry for you prideful, mocking, arrogant, self-centered, egotistical idiots. You have NO idea.........oh, but make no mistake....you will one day and it is then that you will be wailing and crying saying "Lord, I didn't know!" But you DID know....and remember......you chose to be the sarcastic, spiteful little shits that you are. You had better re-think and lose your selfish, condescending, self-destructive pride.
@ImtheBigTim stfu and fear your own imaginary friend don't try to get others to fear him. you have a mental disorder i suggest you have it looked at. judgmental piece of shit
@ImtheBigTim Truth requires facts, which you have none, I expressed an opinion which was subjective as did you so don't try to tell me what the truth is. If you think someone cant be good without god you are a fool. Not to mention the god you worship is megalomaniacal genocidal maniac tyrant who endorsed rape,slavery,sacrifice among other immoral things so don't you dare you say you have the higher ground, can judge and are better than others just because you have a cool imaginary friend.
@ImtheBigTim It's also interesting how being insulting and far more condescending than anyone against whom you've lobbed that accusation tends to get that kind of response. But I suppose calling people "sarcastic, spiteful little shits" was actually an act of supreme beneficence.
You're the kind of obnoxious hypocrite who uses religion like a cudgel, so it's disingenuous and crass to whine when others strike back.
Asking your imaginary religious leader to help you win a lame little football game... Now you know why most people look down on religion. People only pray when they want something... Wasting their time with all of that fairy tale, Earth-is-flat religious bologna.
Why is he not allowed to mock such a ridiculous belief? The athlete is thanking God for making him a winner, but what about the other team? Thanking God for your gifts in life while people suffer is a selfish stupid practice and the Gopher was right in mocking him.
That was awesome! Friggin' athletes and rappers praying and thanking "god" is absurd. You thank a god for your petty achievements but don't question why he allows children to be raped and murdered. There is no god. Idiots. Go Gopher!!!
oh that naughty goldy gopher i hope he was put back in his hole ..but give me a break does this guy really think God intervenes via the power of prayer in a football game!!! ''dear god i know there are people starving and being murdered but forget them for a couple of hours and help us win the game lord,,,,why didnt he pray before he ran out ,,showout!!!
You just don't get it. That player wasn't ASKING God to help win the game.....he was THANKING God and giving God the glory for his accomplishment and ability to do well in the sport....which comes from Him. wake up....as you too will some day stand before Him and be asked to give an account!
@ImtheBigTim fair enough !!! as I said why make a big show by praying on the ground...i dont agree with what Goldy Gopher did ,,mocking peoples faith is poor form....KILL HIM.!!!
@MrParoleViolator says "Mr Parole Violator" maybe if you dedicated some time to history, science and apologetics you would understand that it is RATIONAL to be a believer, base on evidence.
@MrParoleViolator SHUTTHE FUCK UP YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR SAYING their is such thing as god then how were we made not everything in the bible is real but seriously were not made of a meteorite because we'd have rock hard skin stupid
@MrParoleViolator It is clearly apparent by your snide, spiteful comments, disrespectful, insulting irreverence for the beliefs and opinions of others that you, sir, are in need of educating. If the Bible is a fairy tale, why, as of 2002, was it was the number one best selling book in history (over 6 billion), why Christianity represents about a quarter to a third of the world's population and is the world's largest religion? God does exist, and He does care about you. Open your eyes and heart.
@ImtheBigTim Clearly you haven't read the bible. You know the quickest way to become an atheist is to actually READ the bible and try believe that it is a chronicling of actual events.
You wouldn't be worth arguing with amongst a group of children.
Don't get me wrong religion can help some people and it can be applied well but organized religion and the BIBLE is utter fallacy and laughable to anyone who's read a non-fiction book.
@VomitShovel ....It is funny how you atheists open your mouths and spew hate based on blindness and pride. No, I have "never read the Bible"....even though I went to Christian High Schools and graduated from Oral Roberts University. Nah...I'm a devout Christian so it makes sense that I could never have read the Bible. Now, if you want to debate, discuss or argue logically and intelligently, grow up, stop acting like a child and wasting my time. Your nick is definitely appropriate.
The same religion, that when it had power would burn people alive for asserting the earth was round now is offended when they are mocked. OH BOO FUCKING HOO....Mockery? Thats nothing! Do you have any idea how many non believers were killed by the "pious" throughout time? WAH WAH WAH!! He mocked me!! ......What a bunch of thin skinned PUSSIES!!
Sucks not having the power to execute people anymore doesn't it?!
You wanna know about disrespect and mockery? Try being an atheist.
@2eelShmeal First, that never happened, reference /watch?v=TDXrpNk3fy4
Second, i don't seem to see anyone say he was Catholic, the only christian religion who had any type of violent policy, he might be any number of non Catholic but christian denominations
@Anonymous Ok so since Steven Fry said so, mankind has always known the world was round. Yeah. Right.
My statement was about the church. Official church dogma was opposed to Copernicus' sun centered system. Why was Giordano Bruno burned at the stake? You guessed it. The church not only thought the earth was an immovable center to the system, but that it was flat.(Four corners of the earth)They also thought hell was below.
Eratosthenes knew the world was round in 300BC! Too bad the church didn't.
@2eelShmeal (this is continued) The real problem is that believers are scared of imperfection and getting sent to hell so they do all they can to please God. Even if that means arguing with atheists, preaching to the public, and showing that they care when people make fun of God and Christianity. On another note, making fun of people's belief is just stupid to begin with. They've developed a way of thinking that's difficult to change, so it's understandable.
@iKissYourSoul Ha ha..nice one.Actually quite a good point in that both you and I, the (presumably) believer and atheist are really in the same aimless boat but don't realize it. Neither religion nor science can ever (try as we might) answer the ULTIMATE questions of the universe. OK so the question is how do we deal with that very disturbing and uncomfortable fact? Do we delude ourselves with stories of seeing loved ones in the afterlife or do we accept it and just be at peace with not knowing?
@2eelShmeal Though there will be those who are born to be curious and will venture into relevant things to try to unravel the mysteries of the universe. That's fine. It's a drive and it's a goal. There's no right answer to that question honestly. I'm totally at peace with not knowing, but there will be people who will think differently. I feel as though, even if we caught a glimpse, the answers would be so incomprehensible to the human mind that genuises like Albert Einstein would be no help.
@iKissYourSoul Hell yeah. If we knew how it all got here and why (if there is a why) we would only be plagued by a whole new set of mysteries such as: Why this way? Why are the laws of physics like this and not some other way... etc. The true curse of science is that every time we solve one puzzle, 100 more pop up. It's a very frustrating paradox IMO. I can't honestly say that I am at peace with not knowing, but I do accept that I never will. It sucks but I'd rather that than believe a myth IMO.
@2eelShmeal Stupidly generalizing the who fucking religion isn't right either. Religion, yes in general, has done bad things in the past. Now it's just bad interpretation of God's will that leads to so much hatred, otherwise people with religion are generally good people. Mocking a person's belief and practices is never right and is injustice whether you have a religion or not. Christians often get ignorantly generalized, and Atheists often get preached to. That's just how it is.
@iKiss:Why do you think that people's beliefs on religion deserve such undue respect? Why is it that people are so easily offended when their religion is mocked? Do you think it has something to do with the fact that there is a great amount of insecurity there? Someone who is convinced that they have the ultimate secret to the universe should not be offended when someone mocks them. If I knew I was going to live for ETERNITY, I think I could handle a little mockery. Prob is, believers are unsure
@2eelShmeal My point is, no matter who what, everyone deserves love and has unimaginable value. We're not talking about you who can take mocking. You're prideful. That's why you can take it. And plus you have nothing to fear whereas the Christian's who were taught to fear God's wrath (which I think is horribly stupid in the first place) develop a sensitivity to those who mock their relgions.
The fact the guy ran all the way to the end zone JUST TO PRAY was just to seek ATTENTION, the Mascot just helped him out to GAIN even MORE attention, thats what mascots do....
One interesting thing about praying is that it can be done without any outward sign whatsoever. Kneeling in the end zone is not praying, it's grandstanding. HEY, LOOK AT MEE, I'M PRAYING!!! IIRC, there's even a word or two in the Gospels about this kind of ostentatious piety...it seems Jesus wasn't a fan. In any case, the behavior is obnoxious and eminently worthy of ridicule.
I think that the mascot was respecting the praying player. It kind of looks like he is praying with him. He stayed kneeling until the player was finished, made no rude gestures toward him and stayed reverent afterward. If he were trying to mock him, he would probably have been dancing around, pointing at him and such.
@Mrsranchmommy If you look right after they both get up, The mascot high-fives someone he's working with or whatever. Right after that, the mascot makes a teary-eyed gesture many idiots make to try and provoke the other person. That just screams mocking.
Ha. I'd like to see what would happen if somebody tried mocking a muslim like that. I'm sure a bunch of people (probably mostly non-muslims too) would get pissed and have him fired right away. But since he's mocking Christians........ nobody gives a damn. This country is way too politically correct. Nobody has the balls to offend anyone else unless they're Christian.
I honestly thought that player was crying (I didn't pay attention to the title at first) and I'm wondering if the mascot didn't think the same thing? After mocking the player, the mascot did the thing that people often do when they say "tear" as if to mock crying. I don't think this is acceptable and I give props to the player for ignoring the mascot and taking the high road. But I just wonder if the mascot knew what he was doing??
@hambyr Hopefully the mascot did just think that he was crying or something. Although he did make the sign of the cross when he first knelt down. But maybe the mascot didn't see that part.
Regardless of your beliefs, mocking someone who is praying is absolutely shameful. Good for that player for continuing his prayer and not retaliating. That's a good example.
@fhdjsahfdjsha why would I send you $1000? Don't you already get a welfare check? There's a difference between being religious and having faith. I'm guessing that's where the money "joke game from". You don't have to go to church to believe in God. Nor do you have to waste time online to prove to the world your an idiot. I feel bad that you devote so much time to making disrespectful and racist comments. get a life.
Now I sat through and read a page full of comments after watching this video. This mascot making a joke, was it wrong - yes. But considering Christians are one of the top groups to persecute others, I think they should be able to take some criticism as well. Am I saying that the mascot was right, no. But the player didn't make a big fuss. He "turned the other cheek", which is what Jesus taught you all to do in this situation.
This is so disrespectful. He has a right to pray without being mocked by an opposing team mascot. Some mascot. Really Minnesota? this is who you want to represent you and your team. like @escobarsonlam said, maybe they're the ones that need to be praying more!
Christians UNITE they always rant and rave about peoples right to believe in what they want and most of the time it is some loser who doesn't want God or Jesus any where near them and millions of ass holes stand up to protect there right to deny God well freedom should mean the same for those of us who believe in His Holy name just as much as it protects those who chose to be in the dark worst of all they are saying the ref penalized him for pointing to heaven the ref will have to explain why
This is DISGUSTING!!! I am from Minnesota myself and the worst part I had been Thinking of attending U of M but after this I wouldn't attend there if my life depended on it!! ANY person should be able to drop down and thank their God, Deity, or whichever God they believe in WITHOUT HUMILIATION!! You think you are funny, you are disrespectful, ignorant, and rude. It shows just what this world is coming to.
@taekwondochick56601 Rule #1: Don't choose a college based on ANYTHING some douche in a costume does. Remember, it's only a reflection of one moron wearing an over-sized Gopher head.
I m not a very religious person but i do respect other people's beliefs and I would never mock someone like that. I have joked around with my more religious friends but their is a line this is just plain disrespectful.
LOL @ how easily offended religious people of all faiths are. Shut your mouth, and stop taking shit so gottdamn serious. Personally i find a grown man on his knee talking to some invisible man through telekenetic channel quite hilarious. I assume the mascot did too.
@TheZombieSanta im not religious one bit i just think big dicks in your ass is bad for your health. And next time that player should stand up and knock that pos out!
@TheZombieSanta And they say Christians are hypocritical... Do you even realize how insensitive you are being? I thought an atheist world would supposedly be a better world because there wouldn't be religion to cause problems. Obviously, there are atheists like you willing to take up the mantle of pride and prejudice.
@Rocketman157 I am not being insensitive. Some people are just hypersensative when it comes to religion. Perfect example is the fact that this mascot could have mocked the player in any other way..and it would be part of the game. Yet because it was prayer... people want him fired?...... Seriously. The dude chose to prey infront of everyone....he could have just done it in his head without making a spectacle.
Awesome-- all self righteous hypocrites should be mocked. We all need to heep scorn onto anyone who prays in public-- lets take back America from the religious right nazis.
Haha, that's hilarious. I don't see why Minnesota apologized, isn't the point of a mascot to rile everybody up and get under the opponent's skin? Just saying.
I might have to start paying more attention to Minnesota football if he's still the mascot. Haha.
And so "Goldie the Wimp Gopher" thinks this is funny and worth mocking? Too bad the player didn't simply put a fist thru the silly mask of the wimp gopher. The University of Minnesota should dismiss the wimp behind the mask.
I hope that mascot's fellow athiests are proud of him for his flagrant disrespect. The ironic thing is, if a Christian had done something that disrespectful to an athiest, he would be reprimanded by his fellow believers, not congratulated. Is it possible to be completely unbiased? I don't think so. Is it possible to show every person respect? Definitely.
@Rocketman157 LOL Are you joking? I personally know religious people who mock, and show an absolute lack of respect for Atheists when ever the chance presents itself. Why act like that's not true? Go to a conservative church in the midwest/south and see how often people get "reprimanded" for a disrespectful statement LMAO, Good luck finding one instance where that occurs. Religion is the root cause of so much disrespect, prejudice and hatred in the world its ridiculous.
@TheZombieSanta You are right! "Religion" is a cause of much suffering. Christianity is a relationship, a relationship with the One true God of the universe. Remember, there are many "religious" people, but few truly righteous people. Any true Christian who follows the Bible would know that Jesus says to love your enemies. Many Christians don't live up to this, and I have been one of them too, I'll be the first to admit it. Christians aren't perfect. They're just forgiven.
I know that if the jobs of both the mascot and the guy the mascot was high-fiving were in my hands, they'd both be fired as soon as I saw them. You shouldn't pull that kind of stuff, especially when you represent a team and their college. As for the player supposedly trying violating Matthew 6:5, he was away from the center of attention; I think he just wanted to pray right then and there. Nothing to be ashamed of. The camera just happened to be there.
@paco114 LOL. The funny thing here is...that wasn't a guy... it was a CHICK! And yes, she was ugly, so I can see how you made the mistake ; ) And of course this player was not violating Matthew 6:5. Only a wayward moron with dangerously little amount of biblical knowledge could possibly see otherwise.
@paco114 What exactly did the mascot do that requires the termination of his employment? What if the player did a dance, and the mascot mocked the dance, would you want him fired then?... or is it just because you feel religion is out of bounds when it comes to all things mockable?.... Seriously, what was wrong with this.
@TheZombieSanta Hey man, if you put an institution's reputation on the line like wearing a mascot suit, you don't pull embarrassing and slanderous stuff like gopher guy did. It would be the same if he were mocking a homo, Jew, or any other individual, including you. There is apparently one thing you've completely forgotten about, and that is respect. Or maybe you've taken the double standard philosophy. How would you act if a Christian mocked you on the field like that?
@ZForce2010 "Christian douches?" Never mind. If he had done it for the attention, don't you think he would have prayed when he had more eyes on him rather than on the team, like after a touchdown rather than when everyone was leaving the field?
@shf84 So asking for help from a Higher Being for yourself or others is ridiculous? I know that the greater majority of the world would disagree with you, myself included.
@fhdjsahfdjsha hey fuck YOU. he probably did pray in the locker room and how is praying on your knees on the side lines puting on a show. hes showing respect to God who gave him everything he has. you obviously dont understand the strong faith us Christians have.
Can i just say don't swear. Yea all the non-believers can bash on me and say freedom of speech but between us 2 men of faith, don't use inappropriate language. God bless!
but yes, in a way, i thought that it was wrong for the mascot to be mocking him for doing that but in the end he realized his mistake and felt bad. We all mistakes, its if we correct ourselves and change that make the difference.
@xaznguitaristx what? You think the mascot felt bad after doing that? Heck no, mate. What, just because he did that tear sign with his finger going down the right cheek means he felt bad? Again i say, heck no. It was meant to sign that religiouse folk cry after a prayer. You know how they get in services so you would know what i;m on about here.
@fhdjsahfdjsha since when is praising God putting on a show. Do you know how many athletes across all sports pray together before a game. I guess its ok to do some silly dance or spike the ball is OK with you, but saying a prayer because your thankful isn't? You disgust me.
@fhdjsahfdjsha also, your gay comment is totally out of line. You obviously respect no one and only think that your right and your views are the best. You may not believe in God, but isn't in ironic that the more the world pushes him away, the worse the world gets? But then people have the nerve to ask where God was? yep, that's what I thought.
@otisrulz01 Kinda am offended, its the same as gays announcing they are gay ,who gives a shit, this a an athlete,(btw a mediocre one) let him do that shit in private
I hate having to defend my God from the ignorance of "Christianity". To those of you who whine that this shouldn't be allowed...maybe you misread the part when Jesus said "The world WILL hate you because it first hated me."
To the fools defending the mascot, I can prove God's existence on your level of thinking. However, you cry for "equality" day and night. Given that Christians receive the least "equal" share. Parade around Stalin, it's not too long before your own people kill you themselves.

The church not only thought the earth was an immovable center to the system, but that it was flat.(Four corners of the earth)They also thought hell was below.
Eratosthenes knew the world was round in 300BC! Too bad the church didn't.

@2eelShmeal (this is continued) The real problem is that believers are scared of imperfection and getting sent to hell so they do all they can to please God. Even if that means arguing with atheists, preaching to the public, and showing that they care when people make fun of God and Christianity. On another note, making fun of people's belief is just stupid to begin with. They've developed a way of thinking that's difficult to change, so it's understandable.

@iKissYourSoul Ha ha..nice one.Actually quite a good point in that both you and I, the (presumably) believer and atheist are really in the same aimless boat but don't realize it. Neither religion nor science can ever (try as we might) answer the ULTIMATE questions of the universe. OK so the question is how do we deal with that very disturbing and uncomfortable fact? Do we delude ourselves with stories of seeing loved ones in the afterlife or do we accept it and just be at peace with not knowing?

@2eelShmeal Though there will be those who are born to be curious and will venture into relevant things to try to unravel the mysteries of the universe. That's fine. It's a drive and it's a goal. There's no right answer to that question honestly. I'm totally at peace with not knowing, but there will be people who will think differently. I feel as though, even if we caught a glimpse, the answers would be so incomprehensible to the human mind that genuises like Albert Einstein would be no help.

@iKissYourSoul Hell yeah. If we knew how it all got here and why (if there is a why) we would only be plagued by a whole new set of mysteries such as: Why this way?

I can't honestly say that I am at peace with not knowing, but I do accept that I never will. It sucks but I'd rather that than believe a myth IMO.
2eelShmeal 9 months ago
@2eelShmeal Stupidly generalizing the who fucking religion isn't right either. Religion, yes in general, has done bad things in the past. Now it's just bad interpretation of God's will that leads to so much hatred, otherwise people with religion are generally good people. Mocking a person's belief and practices is never right and is injustice whether you have a religion or not. Christians often get ignorantly generalized, and Atheists often get preached to. That's just how it is.
iKissYourSoul 9 months ago
@iKiss:Why do you think that people's beliefs on religion deserve such undue respect? Why is it that people are so easily offended when their religion is mocked? Do you think it has something to do with the fact that there is a great amount of insecurity there? Someone who is convinced that they have the ultimate secret to the universe should not be offended when someone mocks them. If I knew I was going to live for ETERNITY, I think I could handle a little mockery. Prob is, believers are unsure
2eelShmeal 9 months ago
@2eelShmeal My point is, no matter who what, everyone deserves love and has unimaginable value. We're not talking about you who can take mocking. You're prideful. That's why you can take it. And plus you have nothing to fear whereas the Christian's who were taught to fear God's wrath (which I think is horribly stupid in the first place) develop a sensitivity to those who mock their relgions.

One interesting thing about praying is that it can be done without any outward sign whatsoever. Kneeling in the end zone is not praying, it's grandstanding. HEY, LOOK AT MEE, I'M PRAYING!!! IIRC, there's even a word or two in the Gospels about this kind of ostentatious piety...it seems Jesus wasn't a fan. In any case, the behavior is obnoxious and eminently worthy of ridicule.

I think that the mascot was respecting the praying player. It kind of looks like he is praying with him. He stayed kneeling until the player was finished, made no rude gestures toward him and stayed reverent afterward. If he were trying to mock him, he would probably have been dancing around, pointing at him and such.

I don't think this is acceptable and I give props to the player for ignoring the mascot and taking the high road. But I just wonder if the mascot knew what he was doing??
