I used worked at a college that was going through a nickname change and the president of the school publicly stated that he didn’t feel that any nickname / mascot should be a human…….all of the issues are related to this area.PintOGuinness wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 6:00 pm As funny as this, this won't be good for us.

Re: George Washington University Basketball Team
Surprised old GW isn’t being removed from the university name completely at this rate. Again these people don’t look at history through contextual lenses just in the here and now. So stupid. I always thought our colonial heritage was something to be proud of breaking free of the British empire. Silly me

Re: George Washington University Basketball Team
I'm thinking 'Rams'. The A-10 only has three schools with that nickname. That way there'll be an even number.

Who is the "they" in this? It was led by GW students. Are you saying GW students will force UMass to change?PintOGuinness wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 6:00 pm As funny as this, this won't be good for us. They'll be coming for the Minutemen next.

"They" refers to the like-minded kids at UMass who I''m sure are watching whats happening at GW.
Word to your motha!
Re: George Washington University Basketball Team
Are students at UMass being told to not wear "Minutemen" gear when traveling internationally because the term means something different there? That's what the GW students who started the petition claim was the issue that made them want to change the moniker ("Colonials" in places like Africa, India, and Southeast Asia, has no connection to the Colonial Army and only speaks to Colonialism).PintOGuinness wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 4:20 pm "They" refers to the like-minded kids at UMass who I''m sure are watching whats happening at GW.
What issue do you think there is with the "Minutemen" name that would make people want to change it? No matter what you think, there aren't just groups of people out there saying "let's change all the names!"

Re: George Washington University Basketball Team
Do we get points for going from Redmen to Minutemen?
