They can refer to it as “the War of Northern Aggression”...
Never understood why they had called it the Civil War game.
Toilet Bowl fits. Knew that was coming.
And they should also enforce the six foot social distancing. You could just throw a powder puff to tag somebody.
You knew that was coming.
Just like they stopped calling OU-Texas the Red River Shootout.
Good idea. Call it The Pillow Fight.
Perhaps someone in the state house is actually giving thought to the implications of just what a new “Civil War” might mean to them. Gulp! Seriously?
Just like Texas and OU dropped the :Red River Shootout” for the “Red River Rivalry.” We’re all eunuchs now.
I guess the quarterback can no longer throw a bomb, nor can he throw a Hail Mary pass. But, to make things even, the defense can no longer blitz the quarterback.
I think it best to end college and professional sports altogether.
I’m dropping the meaningless terms “liberal” and “progressive” in favor of the more accurate “Insaniac”...
Continues is correct. Is wasn't like duckies and fuzzy beavers were ever masculine.
At this point, who flipping cares?
Go Huskies!
In other news Disney/Marvel is changing the title of Captain America: Civil War to Captain America: Unpleasant Dispute.
FTA:
“Changing this name is overdue as it represents a connection to a war fought to perpetuate slavery,” Oregon State president Ed Ray said in a statement.”
Please tell that lie to the ancestors of the hundreds of thousands of Union soldiers who fought and died in that war to end slavery. With Emancipation that war was one of the great triumphs of freedom.
Why not drop University from Oregon and Oregon State and substitute Play School. It fits.
Ostensibly the people who run the university are supposed to be educated. Yeah right.
Here are some words:
“Changing this name is overdue as it represents a connection to a war fought to perpetuate slavery,” Oregon State president Ed Ray said in a statement. “While not intended as reference to the actual Civil War, OSU sports competition should not provide any misconstrued reference to this divisive episode in American history. That we did not act before to change the name was a mistake. We do so now, along with other important actions to advance equal opportunity and justice for all and in recognition that Black Lives Matter.”
Wasn’t it also-to an extent-to end slavery?
Don't they teach American history at Oregon and Oregon State? If they did, they would know that those who fought to perpetuate slavery didn't call it the Civil War. Confederate Vice President Alexander Hamilton Stephens dubbed the conflict the War Between the States, and other Southern names were the War for Southern Independence, the War of Yankee Aggression, etc. It was President Lincoln--the Great Emancipator--who popularized the name Civil War.
