    ND better not change their nickname. We Irish love being associated with such a prestigious institution, and the most storied college football program in the nation.

    As for the Cincy Reds, the commies would love it....except too many of the moronic followers might think "reds" refers to the red states which support Trump. The lefties are easily confused...

    I'm offended as well because the Cowboys have been killing me since 1997. The Air Force moved me to Texas in 1997 and I've been putting up with these whiny a$$ fans since then! Who Dat...Go Saints! Oh and my beloved Dawgs! Woof Woof

    This was much quicker than I expected. Change is needed, but I thought Snyder might have still fought this. I wonder if this would have happened without the RFK threat?

    As a card carrying member of PETA, I find it offensive that sports teams choose the names of helpless.animals as mascots and pit them.against one another, even if only in spirit. These poor creatures are objectified with no voice of their own to be able to stand up and say "enough." Imagine the personal angst they feel when the Lions and Bears are beating one another up needlessly on the field, all for multimillion dollar paychecks with no benefit going to the Natinal Parks Service or the Serengeti Wildlife Conservation Fund. The thought of all those privileged athletes stealing the persona of these poor animals through cultural appropriation is sickening. Animal Lives Matter!


    Please note the sarcasm.

    Thought you might launch into a diatribe against "bad" humans from Animal Farm...

    Any white employee who has a master's degree should be fired for racism; any employee who has a bachelor's degree should be fired for sexism.

    Maybe we should consider changing our sports teams' names to the Louisiana Tech Doorknobs. Or the La. Tech Anvils.

    ACME Anvils always gave the coyote a hard time. Doorknobs spread germs...like Covid.

    We should be the Louisiana Tech "M". Just the letter M. Middle of the alphabet, not first, not last. Highly innocuous! But we need to move on it soon before others figure it out so 100 years from now we can say we were the first ”M"s. The original "M" s! And everyone else like Georgia, Harvard, MS St, Butler came later and copied us.

    I'm thinking being "M"s could be a thing.

    I'm sure Mars Chocolate will take us to court as "M" infringes on M&Ms. They put an "M" on every piece of that candy. Have to come up with something else. Oh, and I think "S" is out too because they use that on Skittles!

    Yeah, you're probably right. How about the Louisiana Tech ____ (blanks)

    Since this cancel culture is raging strong. Some of us should complain about the ragin cagin moniker and say that it offends us. It only takes a couple of voices to cancel.

    I'd submit there may be some important distinctions to be drawn between S.La's Cajuns, an ethnic minority of European descent, versus those indigenous populations that were systematically expelled, hunted, and stripped of their land and culture as a matter of official policy for roughly half a millennium.

    It's somehow just ... not quite the same.
