UVA to change athletics logo

he looks very concerned.

He’s upset that the football team will probably not win the national championship any time in the near future.

I don't know why the UVA Mascot was made to look like a UNC Basketball player(Luke Maye)

Were the walls torn down?

I’ve always preferred the old logo from back in the 80’s and early 90’s:

No. No way. Slave owners had gotees back then. That's clearly a slave owner. Build a statue and then take it down. PRONTO.

He saw Scott Dreisbach.

I am sure you have not read any of these books.

I've read 5 of them.

Is Brazil a book or just a film? Which I've seen many times!

No idea about some of the others either.

1984, Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm, Lord Of The Flies, Handmaid's Tale all great.

Brave New World and A Clockwork Orange I have not read.

Who was the QB?

 

[broncosmitty]

Who was the QB?

The best UofM QB of the t90's.


The real #12.


Scottie Dreisbach.

Also, I'd no idea at all there was any correlation to that logo and slavery.

I love that logo.

 

[Tenn"cock]

It definitely happened.

Fire Saban!

I think by association Dabo should be fired too! That guy has been oppressing me since Spurrier left.

But he has that little dot looking thing on his forehead. That’s being culturally sensitive to Indian women. It must be kept.

 

[Innermind]

SJW's probably be going after Felix soon.

No normal human thinks there is because, well, there's not.

UVA to change athletics logo design linked to slavery

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — The University of Virginia is changing the logos it uses for its athletics teams just two months after they were unveiled after criticism that a design element referred to the school’s history with slavery.

Fans raised objections to the serpentine curves put on the handles of the sabres below the V for Virginia and on the Cavalier shield. They were meant to mimic “the design of the serpentine walls” that long stood on the campus, according to a statement from the school’s athletics department on Monday.

Athletic Director Carla Williams said she decided to change the logos after she was “made aware of the negative connotation between the serpentine walls and slavery.”

Historians pointed out that former President Thomas Jefferson designed the original eight-foot-high walls to muffle the sounds of slaves and hide them from public view.

“There was no intent to cause harm, but we did, and for that I apologize to those who bear the pain of slavery in our history,” Williams said.

The school has redesigned the detail in the logos to remove the curved handles, and will replace it with another version that has straight-line handles, Williams added.

Nope. The entire university was founded by a slaveowner, in part off the proceeds of slavery. Nothing less than the immediate closing of the school, rescinding of any degree awarded from it, and destruction of the rotunda into building materials for a 98 ft statue of George Floyd, will be tolerated. Otherwise, gonna be riots and stuff.

Any suggestions for what to do with the proceeds from the liquidation of UVA, this bastion of racism?
