WWU should just put up a statue of Lenin and call themselves the Bolsheviks.

They can take the one in Fremont, just north of downtown Seattle. Wouldn’t have to go too far, either.

Better change it to the “Creampuffs” to keep the insane Liberals happy.

Moving forward, its members were “unanimous in agreeing that the building name and mascot should be addressed and evaluated in some manner.”

“Should be addressed and evaluated in some manner”. The sound a leftist committee makes is the sound of destruction wrapped in the vague language of cold-mush.

“ they must be stopped”

How?

I turned 70 last year and my ability to care is gone. Let them make and enjoy their brave new world.

Remember to put a dress, wig and makeup on it and parade it through a library to read stories to children first.

They could use a nice non-threatening tree mascot, but that represents the white supremacist lumber industry which cuts down the phallic tree symbols to make stiff boards that remind the sensitive xers of hyper masculine stiff wood. Nope, trees are out.

The xers we’re really incensed that their sisters were enjoying this abusive tree behavior.

The university should give their land to the local indigenous community.

All mascots should be named “The Sames”. It’s the logical end of the path from biological and cultural reality.

That’s why I said the Washington Football Team just has to remove the last four letters and become the “Reds”.

I went there once. Just down the street from the Troll.

I’m waiting on the New England “Patriots” to get the boot...

Although I'm a Pats fan, I think you might get your wish tonight. Pat/Bills game will take place in low single-digit temperatures. I hope Mac Jones from Alabama will be able to feel his fingers! But, the Bills are favored.

"The Task Force found names idolizing conquest as out of line with the university’s contemporary values around honoring local Indigenous communities.

Maybe they should change the name to reflect Native American warriors. Call themselves the Braves and have the mascot carry a tommahawk.

Why not the first four letters and just be Kins?

Like, they are, you know, family. Kinfolk.

So much more warm and fuzzy.

Wait—it implies still others are not part of the family and that is hurtful and bad.

Forget I said anything.

Naming things politically correctly is hard. Ultimately, it’s impossible.

Creampuffs are high in sugar. They encourage obesity and are offensive to diabetics. So no.

Not all Vikings were men. Just change it to a woman, and problem solved!

Mac Jones is in a tough spot, but he is a good QB and has a bright future. I hope he beats the Bills, and lose to the Cowboys,

Viking was an occupation, not a people.

Maybe the Western Washer Women would work.
