Oklahoma student gov ditches Boomer and Sooner for more sensitive words

[Oklabama]

Students at the University of Oklahoma are working to remove the school’s nicknames out of concern that the words are offensive to Native Americans. According to the OU Daily, the Undergraduate Student Congress met November 12 to mandate a name change for the “Sooner Freshman Council”, citing the words “boomer” and “sooner” as offensive to the Native American community.

Can this be true? Saw it on OU Daily Facebook page regarding a CampusReform.org. article.

I’m not sure what to say..........That is all!

Boomer!

 

[Oklabama]

Boomer!

SOONER

 

[SoonerSA]

Why would that offend Native Americans when Sooners were mainly white. If anything it would offend all the nationalities who were classified as Sooners. As someone mentioned earlier in this post those individuals looking to remove Boomer Sooner are idiots of the highest order.

So I guess a mascot change is coming. Let's put the cheerleaders in pink, and call OUr teams the Genderfrees.

Stupid lil snowflakes. They took lil red now this. Believe me if you want OU to close its doors, try to take this away. Students will have to sell pencils to keep the lights on.

If you have seen the majors of the members of student government many of them are in majors that attract true committed leftist who in some cases have goals of running for elected office or work for someone who does. The city counsel in Norman is packed with these types.

Since these degree programs have too few jobs their resources should be diverted to degree programs that are actually in high demand.

IMO, Donors, of which I am one, won't stand for this! There WILL Be Fallout! These 'Kids' haven't been around long enough to value OU Traditions, as we elders do. You want to see Donors dropping out, like flies hit with RAID, just stand back and watch! Who'll Hold My Beer?

Most absurd and ridiculous news I have heard about my school. Their aim is everywhere but the toilet...in their cry room. You disgust me OU student government full of douche nozzles.

This happened in 2016 and was rejected by the Undergraduate Student Congress by a vote of 20 opposed to the resolution, 13 voted in favor and 1 abstained. Old news. Time to move on.

C'mon, Schoonerman...Fast Forward to Today...What's OLD, is New AGAIN! This generation is being brainwashed by their Profs, and this is In The Moment...I rarely disagree with you, but this IS TODAY'S NEWS!

If they get rid of "Boomer Sooner", let's replace it with "Texas Sucks".

I'll let know you when I'm down for that & will drag John along !

Me, too! I'll bring the Ripple

No ! Let ATM have reference to Texas in THEIR fight song. OU’s legacy is not defined by any opponent.

Welcome Mat is OUt, V!

Nope was talking about Miss sooner67, she's a miss now

Well, at least you tried.

If you think I was being serious, you're being too serious.

I didn't regard your post seriously at all.

 

[PtLavacaSooner]

If we are no longer using 'Boomer Sooner' I propose to go with 'Bang 'er Earlier' for the snowflakes...

 

[johnnyd89]

I am shocked......what took so long?

 

[Jeremiahxyz]

It ain't gonna happen. There's no way that the name Sooner
is gonna be replaced. The logical thing to do would be to ask
those students what name would they replace it with. I'm quite
sure none of those students have even bothered to contemplate
a replacement name.

Will Boomer and Sooner be euthanized ?

Was trying to find the silver lining in the sensitivity trained masses. If we could at least retire the horse pigs, I would accept it.

Amen !!!!!!

 

[OUSOONER67]

Let the students find a more suitable University for their Sensitive lil feelings. Did they not know of Boomer Sooner before they enrolled? What about the ones that accepted Scholarships? Did it offend them then?
