This is Michelle Peralta, and I'm afraid I will have to decline your kind offer, on three grounds. First, if I were to accept, it would make me look like a hypocrite and someone who is easily sold out. I don't want that sort of image, for obvious reasons. Second, having an all-sports pass is no guarantee that there will be a seat available, and I'm not going to camp out for someething I really don't want to go to anyway. Third, I suffer from claustrophobia. So, thank you, but no thanks.

@MPwashere Trust me on a few things, you will have front row seats with no waiting. It has been arranged that when you come you have seats in the front. Also I understand the Hypocrite thing, but to be honest this would be the ultimate way to show that even with strong views and things getting blown up you still see the excitment that you created and buzz. You would be well received at the game. As far as the claustrophobia you will be close enough to the court with plenty of room. please come!

To Michelle: I I work full time at the University of Utah, attend school here full time, and I don't really like sports. But Jimmer has sparked something new in me. He makes it all uniquely exciting. I even bought a blue binder today in honor of Jimmer.

I read Michelle Peralta's self indulgent letter and her response and I find her to be a prideful person that despises fun. Also, Michelle - it would not make you a hypocrite to go to a basketball game and you know that. Going to a basketball game would not cancel your original point that people should chilax on the Jimmer talk? Or is it just bad to participate at all? B/C that is what your actions are really saying. Pride goeth before the fall. Just remember that.

This video is not funny. I find it sad that many of my fellow LDS church members are acting so childish. The sarcastic and so-called "humorous" responses to Michelle Peralta's letter are borderline sacrilegious.

*sniff* This is such a touching story... It brought tears to my eyes as I saw this kind young man offer tickets to a gentile.

@TheRando305 Great comment Rando.

Funniest is that MP and everyone else backing her stance can't see that. National media got hold of this and people covering it think the response is absolutely hillarious. Unbiased third parties have been impressed with how BYU fans have handled this. But the prudes make stuff up like "it was happening before."

It'll all be over in a few months anyway and hopefully they'll think twice of judging their peers of wrongdoing of any sort.

GO BYU!

GO JIMMER!
