University of Florida bans 'Gator bait' cheer because of 'horrific historic racist imagery'

Florida fans probably don't know the unspeakable history of the phrase "Gator bait," but they are no longer allowed to use it as a cheer at sporting events.

As an under 30 Vols fan who looks at Florida as my most hated rival, this makes me mad. By 2022, it will be a season long suspension if a white guy tackles a black guy.
