TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Maybe... but given that he legally changed his name to warrior.... pretty hard to do in his case
Honestly, wouldn't have made the connection if you guys weren't so high strung about it.And if they liked his name and logo, good for them.Just like uttering the words BLM doesn't make you marxist. Using a dead wrestlers logo and name doesn't mean you support his personal views. Lighten up.
The Redskins logo isn't taken anymore, maybe we should use that. Not knowing who Jerry Falwell is doesn't make Liberty University less problematic. Not knowing who Harvey Weinstein is doesn't mean a film festival with his name on it would be in good taste. This is essentially celebrating a racist homophobe. In no way shape or form is that something we should celebrate.
That's the kind of high strung I was talking about! You damn marxist!Trust me, they weren't going for "how do we celebrate a racist homophobe" in creating this. That's just the label you're choosing to apply.
If they didn’t combine the logo with the name I’d mostly agree with you. But the fact that not only is the name the same, but so is the logo means they clearly are paying homage to the person. And he’s not someone you need to do that for.

The person?, or the character?. Think about it. You really think they dug into the person and said "hell yeah!" Of course not.
Does it really matter? The character was played by a racist homophobe. I don't think that's someone that a group of people representing Marquette would want to celebrate. Those things are connected.But sure, hand out Halloween candy dressed as Cliff Huxtable. I'm sure it'll go great.
Guarantee it would go just fine cause 99.9% of people aren’t looking to be offended by anything and everything.

You, Brew, and myself were all behind supporting Marquette wearing black "in honor of Jacob Blake". And I stand behind that - that man did not deserve 7 shots facing away from a police officer. But he's not some saintly dude, I can admit that.
Evidently you’re incorrect.Where 👏🏻 Are 👏🏻 The 👏🏻 Emojis 👏🏻 Though? 💯
The character and the man who played it are inseparable. The character "Ultimate Warrior" doesn't have its own Wiki page for instance - it's the guy who played him.Wow. That's a terrible analogy. The point of honoring Jacob Blake is that no one deserves to be shot seven times in the back regardless of their background. It's actually quite consistent with many aspects of the Bible and Christianity.Not sure at all how this fits.
Any chance that after beating a cancer charity team in the finals last season, they partnered with Susan G Konen and this is connected to their ultimate warrior campaign?
