Blues for Orange Bowl Champs
Accuracy in Academia ^ | January 9, 2018 | Malcolm A. Kline

Posted on 01/09/2018 7:44:59 AM PST by Academiadotorg

A college football team staying in a Trump hotel for the Orange Bowl should be easy material for a progressive wit, if you could find a witty progressive.

"After learning the University of Wisconsin football team will be staying at Trump National Doral Hotel in Miami, Florida in the days leading up to the Orange bowl, the Student Coalition for Progress issued a press release calling for an explanation from university officials," Sarah Godfrey wrote in The Badger Herald. "The group is 'disappointed' the team, band and alumni are staying in a hotel with the same name as the current president, who 'oppresses those of color,' the press release said."

"'The Student Coalition for Progress calls on the Orange Bowl and the Wisconsin Alumni Association to give a detailed explanation as to why this specific hotel was chosen,' the press release said. Larry Wahl, Orange Bowl vice president of communications, said the contract for the hotels in which the team stayed for this game was set four years ago."

"At the time of the press release, SCP was not aware that the contract was set four years ago, representative Ekenedilichukwu Ikegwuani, said." By the way, Wisconsin won, the game that is.

This is such an easy set-up for a progressive punch line that I could write it. Instead they protest....

“Student Coalition for Progress”

I bet they throw a heck of a frat party.

Madison is overrun with raging left loonies. It’s one of the few markets where Liberal talk radio actually works. This was to be expected.

At the time of the press release, SCP was not aware ...

I think that that says it all ...

And, secondly, instead of "SCP" standing for "Student Coalition for Progress", it should rather be "Students for Creative Petulance" ...

[and a tip of the hat to the SCA, the Society for Creative Anachronism ...]
