All the problems in the world that could use solving, and some people have nothing better to do than worry about political correctness of college mascots. What a shame.

Another case of political correctness...Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
George Washington University has decided to "retire" the name "The Colonials", saying in a press release that "it can no longer serve its purpose as a name that unifies,” and that “A moniker must unify our community, draw people together and serve as a source of pride,” the school announced Wednesday. They will continue using the nickname until a new name is decided on, which is not likely to happen until the 2023-24 academic year. GEU has used the Colonials name since 1926.

Maybe I should start a petition to ban small red birds as mascots because they give me more heartburn than any other mascot (STL Cardinals, ISU Redbirds). We're talking about my health as a sports fan!Go Braves!Comment

Nickname update....Originally posted by Da Coach on 6/15/2022 View Post
George Washington University announced the new name for their sports teams. They will be known as the "Revolutionaries".
They had announced a year ago they planned to drop the nickname "Colonials", which they have used since 1926, because it was no longer "unifying".
https://www.espn.com/college-sports/...es-new-moniker
The University received about 8,000 suggestions for a new name, and cut that down to a list of 4 finalists-
The Revolutionaries
The Blue Fog
The Ambassadors
The Sentinels
A University community vote was held, and the Revolutionaries was the top choice.
They currently plan on keeping their mascot, George-

Back on the original post, Chief Illiniwek was the only thing I liked about the U of I.
I wonder if the native American advocate group wanting them to drop Illini will also push for the State of Illinois to change its name.Comment
