This would be no different if another religious of another faith getting the same crap. The problem is maybe maybe there are some putting too much responsibility for their beliefs on one institution.

I'm with Rut here -- BYU has been hypocritical and selective on applying penalties for those beliefs and it's the institution I'm mocking, not the beliefs. I'm happy to let people have their beliefs and their rules, but then those rules should be applied across the board, not when they want to use them as an excuse to get rid of an "undesirable" player.
