Basketball Player Kicked Off Team for Being Mormon
Brandon Davies was dismissed from BYU’s basketball team after he admitted to having consentual sexual relations with his girlfriend, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
BYU’s honor code forbids students from having premarital sex and instructs them to “live a chaste and virtuous life.”
The newspaper reported that Davies met with school officials on Monday.
BYU officials would only confirm Wednesday that Davies wasn’t involved in anything criminal that resulted in his dismissal from the team.
University spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said an honor code review is under way to determine if the BYU sophomore will be allowed to remain in school, as well as his status with the team next season.
Male American college basketball players are known for their integrity and must have been led astray by an evil succubus demon whore for something like pre-marital sex to have occurred. The fact that this alleged occurrence took place in a red state further adds questions as to the girl’s intentions.
BYU is a school founded by Warren Jeffs of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which teaches adolecent polygamy.
Mormon undergarments are to be warn at all times to prevent sexual urges.
Early reports indicate the girl recently swapped out his and her underwear for comic book themed undergarments.
School officials are now investigating two possible leads as to who might have paid this girl to cause problems. The first is a loose connection to the girl and San Diego State University whose only two losses of the year have come at the hands of the Brandon Davies led Cougars. The second more likely connection involves the state of Wyoming instigating this to get the press off its back following a long and well publicized battle with unions.

Mmm…
See, a bunch of guys in my grade back in high school were basketball players. They lead our school to the state championships one year, in fact. Popular, well-known, smart guys… who were also known for their usage of drugs and alcohol, and the number of girlfriends they had throughout high school. A few attended church regularly, too, lest you argue that they were “not Christians”.
Don’t accuse a girl of being a “succubus whore-demon” because she had sex with her boyfriend. Men have sexual impulses as well, and, if the act was consensual, it is just as likely that HE asked her for sex.

My older sister’s best friend from middle school, a wonderful girl from a large Mormon family (all of whom have never been anything but generous and kind to my family), attended BYU. It is a private school that is religiously affiliated with the Mormon church. You go to a school like that, you agree to their rules, regardless of your own PERSONAL religion. My older sister is graduating from a Roman Catholic college this spring. Is she Roman Catholic? No. But she had to take a number of theology courses as a REQUIREMENT there.

RD, thank you for sharing your testimony. It’s sad to hear harlots also corrupted fine upstanding American athletes at your school too.
Please give your sister our congratulations, and it is good she had the foresight not to attend a FDLS school.

…No, that’s not the point.
The point is this: teenagers and young adults have sexual impulses, regardless of gender.
At the dances at my high school? It wasn’t the girls who initiated the grinding: it was the boys. There were a number of us girls who wore remarkably modest dresses, yet we were still approached by boys who wanted to “dance” with us in that manner. We refused, and instead requested such songs as the Electric Slide.
Athletes aren’t “fine” and “upstanding” by default. I’ve known a number of athletes who were absolute assholes and didn’t care about anyone else but themselves and their enormous ego. I’ve also known a number of people who chose not to play sports, and instead joined the school’s drama department, heterosexual people included, who were as kind and brilliant as could be. Athletes are, in fact, perfectly capable of being as horrible and crude as non-athletes. Perhaps more, in fact, since they tend to be more muscular and physically capable than most people.
As for my older sister… That girl I mentioned, her Mormon friend? They’re still close friends, and talk with each other often. A friend of hers from high school? Also a Mormon. In fact, he enjoys the Harry Potter series, and is a fantastic musician. Mormons are just as “moral” as you Christians are, which is to say, they’re PEOPLE with a RELIGION. A person’s religious affiliation does not determine whether they are “good” or “bad”; their personal choices do.
She nearly went to BYU, by the way.

Gonzaga is very expensive, and also has a very fine basketball team full of clean trustworthy looking young men. A degree from there will serve her very well.
Some people are fine with the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as an institution. I can’t think of many who wouldn’t be tempted by the opportunity it provides one. It’s a personal decision and I respect that greatly.

My older sister’s attending college outside of this state, you moron. She had an unpleasant experience with Gonzaga, as she was treated like absolute crap by them, despite having beautiful grades and SAT scores. Besides, didn’t you read about the articles involving Gonzaga’s basketball players being caught with drugs and alcohol?
If you respect a person’s choice to join the LDS church, then why make an article saying that a basketball player was kicked off their team for being a Mormon, as the headline would lead one to believe? He was kicked off because he violated his university’s policies. That’s a good reason to be suspended.
Unfortunately, you then made the decision to blame it all on the player’s girlfriend, calling her a harlot and a “succubus whore-demon”. Didn’t you have a girlfriend when you were young?

MeAwesome,
Great piece! I think this is hard hitting investigative reporting that gets down to the real Mormon principals of the darker races being cursed. This young man didn’t realize how lucky he was to be a part of BYU.
Praise clicking for you, my friend!

What a bunch of crap. This article is full of LIES. BYU was NOT founded by Warrne Jeffs, he wasn’t even born when BYU was founded. He has absolutely NOTHING to do with the mormon church. And this kid was NOT kicked off for being mormon, BYU is a mormon school. He was kicked off for not practicing the morals required by the church. The girlfriend is NOT to blame. She is responsible for her behavior, and he is responsible for his. He only has himself to blame for his actions, and kids do make mistakes. This doesn’t make either one of them bad people. Foolish irresponsible (spelling errors abound) article.

“Male American college basketball players are known for their integrity”
*cough* bullshit *cough*
Seriously dude, members of school sports teams are probably the MOST likely students to engage in sexual activities! Go to the facebook page of any college sports player and I guarantee you won’t find album upon album devoted to their sweet little dogs and cats like you will in mine. You’ll find pictures of them at one party after another, chugging down bottles of Budweiser and groping girls’ breasts.

Most college students (and individuals in their late teens to early twenties) have a Facebook account. Even my younger brother has one. It’s called social networking. I have one to allow me to stay in touch with my friends and family.

Christwire is a joke. No seriously, its a joke. I’m not kidding.
That said, the fact people take it so seriously as news is sad. It proves how stupid and uneducated people are. The LDS Church and the FLDS Church are two different organizations much like the Lutheran Church is not the Catholic Church.
Also, that picture (the one that is not of the former player) is very, very offensive. That is offensive in the same way the picture of Mohammad is offensive to a particular religon. Your just lucky that Mormons voice the offense and don’t cut your head off or burn your effigy at the least. Still, seriously, its offensive. If you have any decency (and you probably don’t, but I would like to be proven wrong) have that picture removed.
