#mubb going woke, or are MARQ editors just stupid blokes?

Sometimes it was the best part of Chicago Blackhawks games.

I honestly don't care much either way, but "cringe"? Odd.

Agreed.  Don't have a problem with it.  Is it necessary, probably not.  God Bless America during Sunday baseball games needs to go though.  I do sometimes cringe when that pops on. Not because I don't like the song but because it seems like MLB is trying too hard to meld love of country and baseball. 

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Yes. I was unfairly censored from this site and explained I would not provide the same content I had going forward.

I still share a little and do as I wish... but in a diff manor. Just following through.

How brave.

[willie warrior]

Take it easy comrade

Yes. Do we detect that the commies are taking over. MU BB needs to reassert itself.

And nobody noticed.  Shame.

This. No other country plays their national anthem during domestic matches. It's just weird.

Their countries are not as great as ours. We are (were?) the best. Now that that is going to change, maybe we should pivot. Let's only do the national anthem when at least 25% of the competitors are not the same sex as the league they're playing in.

Well of course not. You have steered this place to be a safe place & circle j3rk for radical liberals; many on here would rather discuss balls over ball. So, the fact that I share less about ball isn't a big deal to ze.

This is the type of thread to go 40 pages deep.

Who's ze? Some woke new gender term?

Sorry you hate America so much.

In the latest issue of the MARQ Marquette Magazine, the front page refers you to page 2 to read about "#MUMBB"

On page 2 and 3 are a bunch of words on the men's basketball team and their season.

The hashtag used in reality is #mubb. There's been no change in that from the school's Twitter accounts, etc...

..but, is this an early preview of a desire to change the hashtag in an 'equity' move, or simply awful editing?

I am here for all of Marquette's sports teams, both Women and Men. I didn't attend, and play for, Marquette Basketball University. It was and still is Marquette University.

Adorable.

Jesus was woke.

Nah. He's anti-woke.

When offended, Jesus simply turns the other cheek.

The woke aren't satisfied with a public apology, million-dollar salary cut, sensitivity training, and job suspension.

Nothing odd. Just an American hating a-hole.

Why not move your American hating arse to any other country then. Report back how wonderful it is.

That phrase, "turning the other cheek" was covered in my pastor's sermon a few months ago. He provided some context that I hadn't heard before that I thought was interesting. The actual passage reads "if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also". In this case the other cheek is the left cheek. Most people (including the Roman occupiers at the time) were right handed. If they slapped your right cheek, it meant they were backhanding you which was considered a sign of disrespect. If you turned your cheek and made them hit you in the left cheek, they would have to punch you as an equal. So another interpretation of that phrase is as an act of defiant pacifism rather than just being a doormat.

He hates America because he doesn't like the national anthem played prior to sporting events???

[rocket surgeon]

  oh, so then we shouldn't either??  weird?  i can think many many other things that are "weird" and our national anthem being played before sporting events doesn't even come close nor cross my mind as being out of place

That's just because you are used to it.  My guess is that those who come here from elsewhere find it a little odd.

But it really isn't a big deal. I don't mind it, but if it went away, I wouldn't really miss it.

I've never understood playing the national anthem before sporting events at all sorts of levels. Rather than inspiring patriotism, I think it almost makes the anthem almost background noise.

our desire to forever be free; our love of sport; free people coming together to exercise that freedom through competition. I guess that's how I've always looked at it. I suppose our national anthem means something different to each person, or maybe nothing at all. But, I've always appreciated its playing. (btw, the Indy 500 is upcoming. Pre-race pageantry of taps-for Memorial Day, anthem, and flyover...Awesome!)
