By the way... YANKEES SUCK!

By the way, isn't it kind of insensitive to the South for all the New Yorkers to be chanting 'Go Yankees'? My Gawd, the Yankees, burnt Atlanta to the ground? Have they no humanity?

I ask, no demand, that they immediately change the name of the team to something less offensive, like 'Buttercups'.

Yeah, I like that, the NY Buttercups!

From the article: The move to abolish the chant began in October when the Ole Miss student government association passed a resolution to change the phrase to “to hell with LSU.”

Heh.

Isnt their mascot a Confederate Colonel and arent they called the Rebels? I guess only audible references to the South are bad, but visual is ok?

Those Southerners who had to endure the exploitation and abuse of the Reconstruction Era prayed for a Southern rebirth. It took nearly a hundred years to regain any significance.

“The South shall Rise Again” doesn’t mean Confederate Money has been saved for use once again, but a vow to recover from the stagnant economy that plagued the region for so many years.

Of course there are those who want keep on punishing the South for the past.

On the other hand, Dan Jones needs to find a scapegoat or a diversion from the fact that their promising football season has tanked.

What is racist about "The South Will Rise Again" ? I miss the good old days when you could hear "Dixie" and people would stand up and cheer.

I suggest they drop the Chancellor instead.

(From the school paper, The Daily Mississippian)“That’s really the key, because many of the people who are repeating this chant may not recognize the harm their words or actions may have,” Sufka said. “The problem is not with their intent when they say these words but in how the people who hear them interpret those words and the miscommunication that this creates.”

Why not enlighten those that incorrectly interpret, therefore eliminate the miscommunication?
