    It wasn't a war fought to perpetuate slavery, it was a war fought to free the fucking slaves. Which it did, incidentally.

    The Civil War has a much better racial connotation than say, the name Oregon or Oregon State.

    Gawd dammit I was going to say the exact same thing. Look at us.

    Massively idiotic. Not only was the American civil war about freeing the slaves and not freeing slaves because the union won and the country that wanted to keep slaves literally no longer exists anymore, but also The term civil war doesn’t even fucking refer only to that specific civil war. The war between OSU and UO is a different civil war Entirely. Shit like this is why there is going to be a massive political backlash as soon as the weight of trump is gone, Fucking idiots. But since this probably hurts Oregon in even a small way LIPO.

    When they came for the Robert E. Lee statues I said nothing. Because he was technically a traitor and a loser, so fuck him.

    But this is just pants-on-head silly. The Civil War ushered in the single greatest piece of human rights advancement this country has seen. Are we no longer celebrating that?
    Robert E Lee fought to preserve slavery. Fuck him and his statues.

    As with most things the problem is too many people are all or nothing. If you support taking down nothing there's something wrong. If you support taking down everything there's something wrong.

    Taking the Civil War name off a football game is stupid AF.

    Trump is the massive political backlash and we’ve?

    spent 4 years spying on his campaign.

    investigating him 3 years as a Russian agent based on fan-fiction paid for by HRC/DNC

    impeaching him over a phone call in which Adam Schiff made up the content

    cried that he was starting WW3 with NK

    and Iran for killing the great hero General Salami something

    whined when he didn’t start WW3 with NATO ally Turkey because WHAT ABOUT THE KURDS OUR BEST FRIENDS EVER

    etc. etc.

    The backlash is from those entrenched and enriched by federal and state governments who need to teach us normies who runs things.

    You raise a good point.

    This decision is incredibly Americentric.

    For shame.

    Competition for the biggest population of fags on the west coast is really heating up. Climate Pledge Arena couldn't last a day before being usurped by this news. How will Seattleites respond in this epic showdown?!
