The College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts announced its decision Saturday about whether to keep Crusader as its mascot and nickname or ditch it so as not to offend Muslims.

"Crusader" offensive? Or just what a school called "Holy Cross" should be called?

[a fool in paradise]

Worried about offending the deathcult of the antiChrist?

Okaaaaay

[Gene Eric]

Islam is a war plan. Crusaders a response.

[Cold Heart]

They should pick something more submissive

[17th Miss Regt]

Like “Holy Cross Dhimmis”?

[bboop]

Well, I bet the Crusaders offended Muslims. Plenty. What is WRONG with people? Someone else’s thin skin is your problem?? You caused them to hyperventilate?? Keep the name.

I vote for Holy Cross Templars

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

My suggestion where these name change things things are concerned has always been “We Bend Over And Take It Up The Wazzoo For Liberals.” Not exactly catchy, but accurate.

[campaignPete R-CT]

I vote for Holy Cross Apostates

[Rurudyne]

Not only should they keep it, they should come up with a new fight song based on one known to have been sung by the actual Crusaders as their official response.

I have a great chart which traces every civilization from the dawn of recorded history to the present. In that panorama of history, the crusades are an 86 year interruption to over a thousand years of barbaric Islamic conquests.

I know Holy Cross well...and I can guarantee that they'll change the name to “The Transgendereds”

[scrabblehack]

Banana Slugs....(sly reference to UC-Santa Cruz).

[RetiredTexasVet]

I’ll wager that they fold like a cheap suit!

[Gman]

They should change it. To The Templars

[Maudeen]

Are you kidding me? This is insanity at its finest!

[M-cubed]

Holy Cross “SNOWFLAKES” would work for awhile..until some southerners find that offensive....

[LeoTDB69]

LOL. Muslims may find the “Holy Cross” part more offensive than Crusaders. Maybe ya’ll should just change the name of the school from “Holy Cross” to “Plus Sign” and the nickname to Snowflakes.

[onedoug]

I’m surprised they kept it.

On Crusaders!

Add a tag line, Holy Cross “Crusaders for Christ” Sell T’s with picture of a Jihadi carrying a box cutter, and a Crusader with his sword. caption; you leave one man headless, we leave ten without head and scrotum.
