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.
