The University of Alabama says it's reviewing the use of a popular song at athletic events after students turned it into an obscene chant during the Auburn game.
Athletics director Bill Battle issued a statement Wednesday saying school officials will discuss whether to continue playing "Dixieland Delight."
The song was first released by the band Alabama more than 30 years ago, and the university often plays it over the public address system at football games. Fans sing along and students add chants.
Some of the words are usually vulgar. But students added chants more often during the Auburn game to direct an obscenity at their rival university.
Battle says the university tries to act with class, and the behavior of fans is a big part of that.
