Lots of news about the Fighting Whities these days. PLEASE POST KNOWN NAMES OF ALL "WHITE" SPORTS TEAMS HERE. I'd like to compile them into a list in order of whiteness, as it were.

[OKSooner]

I'll start, with my recollection of "white" teams from earlier threads:

[OKSooner]

New York YANKEES

Boston CELTICS

Notre Dame FIGHTING IRISH

Michigan State SPARTANS

Oklahoma City Southeast H.S. SPARTANS

Oklahoma City US Grant H.S. GENERALS

Tennessee VOLUNTEERS

Ol' Miss REBELS

Oklahoma SOONERS

Nebraska CORNHUSKERS (See NU mascot on sidelines)

Oklahoma State COWBOYS Note: Many Cowboys were/are black, but we include COWBOYS here by the premise that most COWBOYS were white.)

Is this a start?

[ZOOKER]

If SPARTANS are white, I assume TROJANS are as well. Plus, they practice safe sports.

[OKSooner]

Gee, Zook, I don't think my thread's going over real well. Probably just as well, we wouldn't want to make TOO much out of one of these kinds of deals, I guess.

Oh well.

[TomServo]

If SPARTANS are white, I assume TROJANS are as well..

My Trojans are ribbed, too.

Are your OUSoonerfan100 on Yahoo?

[gumbo]

Rutgers SCARLET KNIGHTS.

Seton Hall PIRATES (not sure what pirates' ethnicity is, but they're never Native American, are they?).

[SAMWolf]

I think Chicago has a team called the "White Sox".

[gumbo]

Don't forget the Minnesota VIKINGS. Like mayo on white bread.

[Kozak]

University of California Sonoma State COSSACKS!

[gumbo]

University of Chicago MAROONS. (Hey, it's not red.)

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"GLADIATORS... "

Hmmm. Dunno about that one. You must be thinking of Kirk Douglas and Russell Crowe.
A great many Moors were conscripted for gladiatorial combat.

[smith288]

TB Buccaneers?

[cincinnati_Steve]

The Casper, Wyoming Friendly Ghosts. (Don't know if that's a real team, but it'd be a great choice.)
