So for those of you who don’t peruse Twitter as much as I do, you’ve probably been out of the loop on this latest trend.
Recently a radio host named Mike Welch made some comments regarding BYU’s Football team as well as retweeted others who didn’t like BYU, using the hashtag #ThugMormon.
BYU isn’t withholding failed weed test suspensions, they’re withholding suspensions for a brawl. Don’t forget that. https://t.co/VdmWt0flm1
