Re: GW will drop Colonials moniker
Other A-10 schools such as UMass and St Bonaventure have changed their nicknames. UMass was once the Redmen with a native chief as mascot. SBU previously went by the moniker Brown Indians and had a native mascot.
UMass known by racist mascot for 24 years
Before the Minutemen, students voted to become the “Redmen”

I'm surprised they don't want to change the name of the school.

Re: GW will drop Colonials moniker
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: ↑2 years agoI mean, all of us here have thousands of posts on a message board about college basketball.

Re: GW will drop Colonials moniker
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.

Touché.

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: ↑2 years 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?

Along the same line of reasoning, think of how the 650, 000 Worldwide Friars must feel about the usage of their name by our “friends” up the road from us. It is time for a change of name!

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.

(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.

Re: GW will drop Colonials moniker
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: ↑2 years agoNow that's the good ol' American spirit!! Don't want to hear about a view point that may have been overlooked?

I do know that minorities LOVE when white people tell them how they're supposed to feel or what they're supposed to be offended by. They're so helpless without your white knighting to come and rescue them from the perceived injustice you're so well educated about!
And for someone so high and mighty on his lecture horse - are we going to pretend that colonel and kernal are the same thing?
(that said GW Colonel's is actually a solid name).

Re: GW will drop Colonials moniker
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: ↑2 years agoNow that's the good ol' American spirit!!

But the thing is “everyone” isn’t insulted it’s just a very loud minority opinion - largely made up of NIMBY guilt ridden white folk. And it’s mostly an American thing. Europeans and others are laughing at some of the topics consuming American media these days. Truly the definition of first world problems.

And then you've got the far right, grievance industrial complex throwing a temper tantrum that a school that they have no connection to is changing their mascot. A mascot and moniker that made no sense in the first place
