What's the lesson?
The chant is not overt or over the top. The chant might not even make most of us even notice the context or why that was being said. And for all most of us would know, that could be a reference to something else. This is not like other typical words or references that have history or greater context. So to give a T for something that could have many meanings or references, I do not think a T in itself is appropriate. And the lesson is the way the schools handle it with their student body, not who we allow to shoot FTs in a game no one will remember after the game is over.
