University of Oregon apologizes for "offensive and disgraceful" anti-Mormon chant during BYU football game

The University of Oregon has issued an apology after footage of an explicit anti-Mormon chant during a football game Saturday against Brigham Young University went viral. Oregon faced BYU at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. 

The clip led to outrage from Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, who condemned the chant in a retweet of the video that claimed: "Religious bigotry alive and celebrated in Oregon."  

BYU is private university in Utah sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose members are known as Mormons.
