Williamstown Demons?

Villa Madonna nickname soon to be changed

 

Had no idea they went thru all those name changes in such a short amount of time.

I've never really been a fan of the Rebels nickname, especially when you see some of the color schemes and mascots.

 

 

I think there is a way that schools can be the 'Rebels' and still be fairly PC. Boyle County is a 'Rebels' team, but they have a black and gold/yellow color scheme. The UNLV Runnin' Rebels are red and silver but their 'rebel' is more a tribute to the "Old Vegas", desert-cowboy stereotype.

 

SO I assume you find offense with Ole Miss, to me they are representing their culture

I assume some HS teams are as well though the Confederate Rebel might be a stretch in Kentucky where in the southern states I get it

 

Todd County Rebels come to mind, they are located along the KY-TN border

I'd like to see Rebels changed.

 

All remnants of traitorous scum should be wiped from the Earth.

 

I don't know whether I would say "traitorous scum" but Rebels has to go: what can that mascot possibly mean to African Americans except as an insult? I cringe to think that Shawn Alexander was a BC Rebel. Yuck. Besides Ky was neutral though occupied, especially because it was the largest cattle state in the US, hence fresh meat for the Federals. Also, 2/3's of Kentuckians who fought in the war were Union soldiers. All this can be googled but I am taking my data from a book that Barry Bingham, Sr., editor of the old Courier-Journal, wrote on the war.

When you say the Ole Miss Rebel mascot is "representing their culture", I must ask, Whose culture? Not the culture of the slaves. Not the culture of former slaves and their descendants who suffered through segregation with its psychotic apartheid and widespread lynching. Do you think only white people have a "southern" culture. Guess again.

Disturbing...

 

Yeah, real funny.

If the minority powers that be are successful forcing he Redskins to change their name it could start a landslide of support to change other names. In KY what schools could be on the short list? I will go first:

 

Boone County Rebels

 

What other schools would be on the short list?

What exactly is a "minority power"? Is the United Church of Christ, whose leadership supports dropping Rudeskins, a minority power? Minorities don't change anything, majorities do, coalitions do.

Webster County Trojans-offensive to the men of Troy

 

.....or Planned Parenthood.

Got to get rid of the "Bluebirds" the fear and oppression we thrust upon earthworms is overwhelming. This whole name changing thing is petty. While not "full blooded" I have quite a few ancestors that were, dare I say it, of "Indian" heritage and really it almost seems to get me worked up the other direction when this is brought up.

 

Indian? Did you mean " Native "? As in Native Americans... Thought Indians are from the country of India.

Henry Clay Blue Devils... I would have hard time cheering on a Devil.

So if I go to a Cleveland baseball game all of the food will have curry in it?

What is a TomCat? We have a BobCat, now a Tom too? Is there a macot out there name WillCat, DickCat, TravisCat?

Should be. It's their native food, right?

Well I was in the Marine Corps and the name Admirals is offensive to me.
