As one of the 17 people who was still in the stadium during the rousing rendition of our Fight Song on the Jumbotron, the fucking words aren't "Mighty are the ones [/b]who wear the purple and the gold."
When women pass the Dardanelles (Race was there) then you can include them in the fight song.
Until then, Fuck off.
The song says, "Mighty are the Men who wear the Purple and the Gold." "are" is present tense. Well, women athletes also wear the purple and the gold.
If the song said "Mighty are the Men who passed the Dardanelles," and they wanted to change it to "the ones[/b] who passed the Dardanelles" then you might have a point because women did not "pass the Dardanelles."
Your argument doesn't make sense because they're only changing a part of the song that deals with "mighty" people who "currently wear" the Purple and the Gold.
After a months long hiatus, this is the shit you return with? I hope the enlightened women's retreat you were at all this time was worth the fee.
Actually, it was longer than a month. Despite my wife (correctly) pointing out that it's pointless to engage trump's blind loyalists who don't believe in facts, I let myself get sucked into debates with people whose positions have no foundation in reality.
Climate change is a Chinese hoax, alabama is in the storm's path, women athletes at UW don't exist.
I should just walk away. But I don't. Call it a weakness.
Why go in the Tug then? Enjoy[/s] Suffer the football and forget the rest.
This post on the Football Board proves that this type of thing is not confined to the "tug" board.
To some, changing the words to a 100+ year old fight song stands alone and apart from national politics.
Uhhh...language on the tug board goes well beyond "national politics" as that term has been traditionally defined (i.e., tax policy, insurance reform, environmental regulations, foreign policy), and goes well into what "national politics" has sadly become.
Terms used on this thread include: "whiny cunts," "shemen,"[/b] and this gem: "The word Song is offensive to our massive chink gook slant[/b] fan base. How dare we mock their culture? Also pretty sure it’s a place somewhere in Africa. So you can add the browns[/b] to the mix. I won’t say that racist term because I have black frens."[/b]
This type of thing has - sadly - seeped into our national politics.
