You need to read up on the actual relationship between the Seminole Nation (the actual tribal leadership, not the fanbase) and the University.

Same with the Ute Tribe and the University of Utah, the Illiniwak tribe with the University of Illinois and the Sioux tribe with the the University of South Dakota.

What's next? No more "Roll Tide" or Rocky Top?


Everything is next. They are twisting themselves into knots to find racism in everything.

Tiger Bait, Gig Em, Woo Pig, War Eagle, Roll Tide, Rocky Top, Hotty Toddy, Hook Em, etc can ALL be construed as racism if you try hard enough.

Hell, they might all be gone by the end of the summer at this rate.

Seriously, frick this shite.

Ok, I get it. Your one liners directed at me about "my people" are noted. Stop trying to derail the thread.

Man alive some of y'all are on full tilt LOL. We see now how y'all are so quick to see a snow flake....like recognizing like and all that....

UGA fans up in arms over the GWTW Theme song no longer being played after the game...

I would suggest taking a break from the news and go fishing or something....it will vastly improve your outlook.

I knew it was racism the first time I saw the diverse crowd chanting it at an opponent. Come on guys can't you see?
You think Pink isn't a misogynist term?
Think....why do they use pink for the breast cancer awareness symbol?

LSU is going to use the excuse that they can’t bring back Neck because its appropriating a song traditionally played by HBCU’s

While I know of no evidence of racism associated with our “Gator Bait” cheer at UF sporting events, there is horrific historic racist imagery associated with the phrase.


How does that make sense?

No thread derailment, I just despise Fascists ESPECIALLY when they try to deny who and what they really are.

That’s because it’s not. Related to white hunters feeding black babies to gators that is.

Not owning it as I don't agree with it. Not a communist. Culture can be a great thing.

I'd venture to bet that 99% of Americans have never once thought the gator bait chant was insensitive or related to feeding black children to gators.

But now people have heard of it and people can run with the "history" of it without historical evidence of it. If you can't prove it didn't happen, then it "could've" happened. That's where we seem to be now.

I will support their right to Gator bait. I’m no Gator fan, but there comes a time when we football fans face a common enemy.

Except this new crop of Uber-Scum can't BUILD anything, because they are fking parasites....

They can only invade the host, feed off it, poison it, then fly away.

Exactly...:. Slaves were not cheap, and only the wealthy had them...

This is such a crock of shite...
