The United States Military Academy at West Point removed a motto from a spirit flag used by the school’s football team because of its connection to hate groups.
The letters GFBD, which stand for “God Forgives, Brothers Don’t,” were emblazoned on a skull and crossbones flag the academy says had been used since the mid-1990s to emphasize teamwork, loyalty and toughness.
The four-letter slogan has been used by white supremacists, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
Academy officials said an ESPN reporter first questioned the motto.

Wait until the freaks at ESPN says we can't use the letters U, S and A.
Who cares what a handful of freaks do. They don’t run USMA, and shouldn’t be allowed to.
Let’s see if the brothers forgive or not.
Why wait?
>> The four-letter slogan has been used by white supremacists.
They use the American flag, too. Why not dump that, you jackasses?
“Wait until the freaks at ESPN says we can’t use the letters U, S and A.”
It’s happening. Seen threads here about leftard professors yelling at people to remove the US flag from their cars.
They should remove the skull & crossbones as well. Pirates are a hateful bunch too...
I’m not planning my language and my life around what crazy people do or do not do.
More pussification of our military!!
Oh wow, the Aryan Nation.
That really has me shaking in my Jewish boots.
I am sure I could take all 12 of their members.
AB,bikers,street gangs all use it. On a football logo it’s just plain stupid.
How is it that white supremacists get to freely coopt any cultural signal or phrase they want. First they came for the “OK” finger signal. I didn’t ever make the “OK” signal, so who was I to complain. Next they came for the bowl cuts...
How about those Army boys taking any white supremacist using their motto and beating the living sh!t out of them. They got the training. They’re in the army, after all. So they know how to kill the enemy. Beating the living sh!t out of someone who steals and misuses their motto ought to be part of the old team spirit.
It never ends.
Why does no one have the balls to tell these ADL jackasses to just STFU and go away? It's so much more effective. Why does anyone care what they say about anything?
ADL are a bunch of hate-mongers.
ARGH! THAT’S A LIFESTYLE CHOICE MATY! WHATEVER A MAN AND A PARROT DO TO A SKURVY SWAB BEFORE HE/SHE WALKS THE PLANK IS THEIR OWN AFFAIR (of the man and the parrot, that is).
They should remove the skull & crossbones as well. Pirates are a hateful bunch too...
= = =
Have these objectors remove their own skulls.
Volunteers may help them.
“Stick to the code by Morgan and Bartholomew...”
Why anyone cares what the ADL or SPLC says is beyond me.
They cannot use the word “Army” either because it is a bullying word and offensive to muslims world-wide.
