I mean, all of us here have thousands of posts on a message board about college basketball. I don't think we're in a position to judge how anyone wants to use their time.Rhodymob05 wrote: ↑1 year ago lol. How people have the time to care about these names is mind boggling. They're acting as if the school name is the GW Aholes. Unreal.
One of the names I heard was Revolutionaries, which I liked, though I doubt that will get much traction. Generals was another one, though I would imagine there would be some copyright infringement issues there. Monuments was an interesting idea, especially since they've already used the Washington Monument in their branding, though that's not exactly a dynamic nicknameSGreenwell wrote: ↑1 year agoI mean, all of us here have thousands of posts on a message board about college basketball.

I vote for the Presidents, or, the Prezzies. Because it's a stupid name, and ultimately, nicknames should be stupid.
I was thinking Revolutionaries. It's the only one that really makes sense to me.RhowdyRam02 wrote: ↑1 year agoOne of the names I heard was Revolutionaries, which I liked, though I doubt that will get much traction.

That Washington Monument offense beat us twice last yearJdrums#3 wrote: ↑1 year ago I like it, Rhowdy, but not for the same interesting reasons…
They stand around on offense like the Washington Monument.
There’s some great play by play material potential with that moniker. And, imagine the Rhody vs GW game thread comments. We are only scratching the surface.
Are you going to make the move now ECR?ElmCityRhody wrote: ↑1 year ago What a joke

this is why I have been in Charleston the past 10 days and looking to relocate
Fuck the woke bullshit

Agree completely. Tradition has been killed in most sports today with teams like The Cleveland Indians, Washington Redskins and many other teams changing names. URI will probably look into changing their names soon as to not insult some of the rams.ElmCityRhody wrote: ↑1 year ago What a joke

I'm assuming you're not of Native American ancestry?...nor have you spoken to one lately about the former Cleveland Indians and Washington Redskins? You may call those name changes woke while others may say that they're long overdue. Get out of your bubble.RamStock wrote: ↑1 year agoAgree completely.

And a big, walking dollar sign for the mascot.

So don't speak for them.PlayMikeMotenMore wrote: ↑1 year agoI'm assuming you're not of Native American ancestry?...nor have you spoken to one lately about the former Cleveland Indians and Washington Redskins?

How about you go back in your bubble and keep your thoughts to yourself.PlayMikeMotenMore wrote: ↑1 year agoI'm assuming you're not of Native American ancestry?...nor have you spoken to one lately about the former Cleveland Indians and Washington Redskins?

I find their name highly offensive. I think they deserve the death penalty for being so insensitive. (/s, obviously)
Now that's the good ol' American spirit!! Don't want to hear about a view point that may have been overlooked? Tell them to go away and be quiet. Great. Good to know that some people are afraid of an exchange of ideas that makes them uncomfortable.

Funny - the native americans I know felt like the Redskins and Indians name changes were further erasing their history and taking them out of the conversation completely - regardless of what today's wokest of woke deem "appropriate." Suzan Harjo is just the native american version of Al Sharpton - capitalizing on the disenfranchisement of her people and leveraging that to make herself wealthy while actually not contributing anything to the community itself, as it continues to delve further into poverty thanks to it's dependence on government subsidies. But yeah...changing the name! That helps people!PlayMikeMotenMore wrote: ↑1 year agoNow that's the good ol' American spirit!! Don't want to hear about a view point that may have been overlooked?

(Personally, GW changing their name away from Colonials is not high on my list of things considered important in my life and is certainly not the worst thing in the world. But you can at least have an open mind about it.)
GW should change their name to the Kernels. I believe Eastern Kentucky are the Kernels as well.
I was probably worn out from all your CoVID talk with people having to wear masks at all the time including your car, omicron, Fauci and if anyone disagrees with anything they are wrong. I’m sure if inflation, high interest rates, gas prices and anything else was mentioned we would hear of the low unemployment that Biden has presented us with. I don’t care enough about the Colonials mascot, but it is funny how everyone is insulated on every topic or name now that was never mentioned for a 100 years.PlayMikeMotenMore wrote: ↑1 year agoNow that's the good ol' American spirit!!
