Chicken tossing makes msn front page

[WildCatzPhreak]

More publicity for our university.

Excellent.

[DrunkoMcGee]

Not all publicity is good publicity.

Brings a tear to my eye knowing that tens of thousands of fraternity members who'd have otherwise never considered tossing chickens are now fully aware of the nearly endless possibilities for entertainment presented by live chickens at sporting events.

K-State ends chicken tossing tradition

It was a tradition?

[coitus]

i want to thank the student body for bringing back this tradition, and hope it remains.  way to go!

 

[WILDCAT NATION]

I take it no celebs died today?

[WildCatzPhreak]

It's a shame MSN has their facts wrong.

No tradition was ended.  It was just made famous because some crazy liberals got involved.  Now when it happens next year people will be expecting it.

Increased ratings for our game.  Excellent.

Yes, a very very longstanding tradition when playing the squawks.

I saw this multiple times when I was in school (99-03).

Any true fan would have seen it multiple times, as well.  In 99 a guy actually got charged with animal cruelty because he killed it on the asphalt at the football field.

[DrunkoMcGee]

I honestly don't think you guys realize that the country is pretty much laughing at you, not with you.  And that is quite a feat considering what the vast majority of people actually think of PETA.

Everybody sees stuff like this and thinks about the backwoods Kansans that tried to stop the teaching of evolution.  But you guys keep enjoying the publicity.

Honestly, they'll probably just confuse us with you.  We're pretty much identical to 95% of the country.

[ECN]

the country is laughing at you too my friend.

kansas is all the same if you dont live here.


dont be stupid.

[coitus]

people laugh at ncaa violations and coaches that love deadbeat dads.

they root for chicken tossers.

I call bull$hit.  Other than peta freaks, anyone who reads the statements quoted below has to be laughing their ass off at peta.

The letter described chickens as "very intelligent and inquisitive animals" that appeared to have been subjected to "deafening noise, bright lights, terror, abusive handling and likely death for the sake of amusement."

Said PETA director Debbie Leahy: "Any student who throws live birds on a basketball court should be thrown out of school."

[WILDCAT NATION]

How the hell did PETA know anything about it in the first place?

any true fan would have noted the lack of chickens hitting the court during that era.

suck asses that don't like walking, struggle to earn passing grades and bitching about hot dogs notice what goes on outside the coliseum.

Drunko put down the bottle, you're a dumbass.  PETA is retarded, and this is just one more thing PETA had to stick its animal screwing ass into even though it didn't belong.

THe lady said the student who throws a live bird onto the court should be throw out of school, really where do these people come from.

Though, I thought it unnecessary to take a jab at KSU by mentioning the streak is still alive at the end of the article.

[DrunkoMcGee]

I'm fully aware that they lump all of Kansas together when they think of the backwoods reputation.  Thanks for adding to it.  You guys are smart.

You take yourself way too serious.  I could really care less what people on the coasts think about come college kids tossing a chicken (which mocks our rival'smascot) onto the court for one game a year.  A person from Kansas could find a cure for cancer and all anyone will remember about Kansas is Dorothy and Toto.  

[WildCatzPhreak]

The article was definitely a jab at PETA.  They made sure to include the quotes about chickens being very intelligent and inquisitive animals, and also a quote about how students who do that should be kicked out of school.

Didn't some ku fans used to kidnap our old mascot "Touchdown" before the ku-KSU football game every year?  I'm pretty sure I heard they ended up killing one of them.  Can anyone confirm this?

I just think it's funny that you are celebrating the fact that most people will use this to make fun of you.  But hey, whatever floats your boat.

If you see no problem with the chicken tossing, yet are afraid of the flack it will create from a fanatical group, then you lack some serious testicular fortitude.

If you do see a problem with the chicken tossing, you just lack testicles. 

If I found out that Oregon State was tossing ducks on the court when they faced Oregon and Peta was protesting it, I'd laugh at Peta, as would most people with common sense.   

[ksuno1stunner]

Would throwing dead chickens be less cruel?

I think sneaking live chickens into a sporting event and then throwing them on the floor where half of them die is pretty stupid.  I don't care enough about the well being of chickens(that are going to die for food anyways) to get all upset about it.  I find it absolutely hilarious that people are laughing at you and you guys think that everybody is on your side because they hate PETA.  99% of people know that PETA is a joke.  But the fact of the matter is that 99% of people also would never think it's cool or acceptable to sneak a live chicken into a sporting event to throw it on the court where it has a 50/50 shot of dying on impact.  

You guys go ahead and keep thinking how awesome you are though.

Bingo.

Like I said earlier, other than the peta freaks most people think peta is a joke and would stand behind any university in a similar situation.

TitsMcGee here, is plain delusional.

[DrunkoMcGee]

It's not really about the cruelty to chickens from my perspective.  I just don't really get the point of it.  First of all, when did it become normal or acceptable to sneak a live chicken into a sporting event.  Second, you are doing it to mock a team that you haven't beaten at home since Reagan's first term.  Not one of your current players was alive the last time it happened.  Third, it is actually cruel and while I don't really care about chickens, I don't see why you would go out of your way to torture one.

Contradiction maybe?

Your universtiy isn't standing behind this tradition.  There is a letter on the KSU website telling you not to throw chickens at your basketball game right now.  

Ironically enough, people would laugh about both you and PETA in this situation.  Congrats, both groups are morons.
