Yeah I never thought about how that team name could be an issue but it makes sense now. Good move by Valpo

If the Klan started a newspaper called "The Bulldog," would Drake be this weak and spineless? Yes, probably.

+xIf the Klan started a newspaper called "The Bulldog," would Drake be this weak and spineless? Yes, probably. I think it is based more on the fact that the Crusaders were pretty awful people. They are not changing the name because of the publication. The fact that a hate group chose the name for their publication is just more evidence that it is probably not a good choice for the school's athletic teams name.

Lol Ok- I don't think you watched the video, especially from 2:00 to 2:30, when Madame Interim finally cut to the chase. Schools such as Holy Cross, who don't wet themselves over student senate resolutions, will keep the name Crusaders. Valpo is the only school that is Drake's conference competitor in every major sport. I'm beginning to worry about their reputation as a serious university. They've dropped a ton of academic programs over the past year. And I'm not seeing much leadership. Wondering if they will become some kind of private, overpriced Chicago State for white kids.

+xIf the Klan started a newspaper called "The Bulldog," would Drake be this weak and spineless? Yes, probably. No... probably not.... I always love that argument from boomers. Try to make your point with a completely made up and unrealistic scenario and then say, "seeeeeeee, watch out its gonna happen to us. Here comes the scary liberal boogie man." Edit: Also, about a thing that affects us in no way whatsoever. If they want to change the name, change the name. Who cares?!

Yes, let's lump 71 million people together. Clearly all 71 million boomers are the same. It's no better to lump all baby boomers together than it is for anybody to lump all of any ethnic and/or religious group together.

I think “the Crusaders were sort of bad people they don’t reflect what we want as a school, religious or not” is a valid case for dropping the nickname. Citing modern hate groups kind of makes it sound reactionary.

It is their school. They can call their team whatever they want. It's not like somebody forced them to change their name. Why is it of any concern to anybody but them?

+xThe Beacons. 🤮 Times like this I am so grateful to be a Bulldog. I guess technically it's not a plural, just Beacon.
