Florida and Georgia issued a joint statement on Sunday morning condemning an antisemitic message that was projected onto the exterior of TIAA Bank Field after the Bulldogs 42-20 win over the Gators.
The message positively referenced Kanye Wests antisemitic remarks earlier this month. The statement from the school not only denounced what was projected onto the stadium but other antisemitic messages in the city of Jacksonville

We strongly condemn the antisemitic hate speech projected outside TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville after the Florida-Georgia football game Saturday night and the other antisemitic messages that have appeared in Jacksonville," the schools said in a statement. "The University of Florida and the University of Georgia together denounce these and all acts of antisemitism and other forms of hatred and intolerance. We are proud to be home to strong and thriving Jewish communities at UGA and UF and we stand together against hate.
The statement from both schools comes less than a day after the NBA denounced antisemitism after a tweet promoting an antisemitic movie from Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving. Wests Twitter account was restricted and his antisemitic tweet was removed by the social media platform earlier this month.

But becoming more common, well, more reported in MSM. Trust me, this shit isn't even remotely new, but you aren't going to know about it unless you search for it or read Jewish news (or RW nutter sites).
