It's something Jay Leno would joke about that maybe the typical 50 year old viewer might find fresh and groundbreaking.

Even though it is cliche it still would have purchase as an insult if people in Utah defended polygamy, but seeing on how that isn't the case, most people here (Mormons) find it amusing.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's more cute than it is offensive. It's kind of like you Rapids fans are squeezing our cheeks and giving us a pat on the back.
I thought all sports taunts were supposed to be baseless 'cute' like things?
I wouldn't go to a Dodgers game and say "Your fanbase is a bunch of fact covering cowards who wouldn't talk to the police to bring a murderous thug to justice!.... how bout you???"
