Interesting to see that people will get outraged that the Marquette team puts a patch on their uniform stating that Black Lives Matter, but hate on “cancel culture” when there’s backlash from the alumni team taking the name and logo of a racist homophobe.
the patch, and Ultimate Warriors both suck
Back to the subject... anyone seen a roster yet?
Thankfully they went back to The TBT / Golden Eagles ...The whole Ultimate Warrior (s) thing was MORONIC on many levels. U finally win the Title and then change the name ??Stupid U would think Chapman and the others would have known better
I actually believe their statement that they were unaware of his non-wrestling past. I know they could have spent time Googling etc. before making a name change, but it's not like they have a marketing dept. - it's just some guys who have other things going on in their lives who probably had fond childhood memories of a wrestler. That being said, they definitely made the right decision to chuck the name change.
They 100% had no idea and yes a few of them were / are big WWE fans. They were just trying to do something cool. To quote the great Rick Majerus, there are errors of commission and errors of omission. Be careful in how you scold someone who is trying to do something good and errors.
glad they changed it back. i was crying. the native community was deeply hurt. my god the sanctimonoiuos ppl on here are cringe. who the hell even cares.was there one person in the world that was offended by the mu tbt team changing the name.why the warrior name has to be racist is beyond me. whatevrr golden eagle or warrior. works for me
Nothing wrong with the nickname "Warrior"Willie Wampum on the other hand....
the big issue for MU was they did not believe the Native American imagery could ever be fully disassociated from the Warrior name. Kids showing up to games in headdresses years later confirmed their beliefs.
Yep
Nonsense.I was on the Mascot Committee at MU where we commissioned an artist who drew all sorts of different "warriors" (Roman, tribal, etc) and DiUlio said they were all too "aggressive and violent" lol. MU, as usual, was totally pathetic in their decision making.
When was that? Had MU walked away from native imagery in the 1960s, it could've worked. By the 1980s, it was far too late.
its over at this point damn. lmk when students are wearing head dresses to games again
