re: Hawaii changes all men's teams to "Rainbow Warriors"

yes and that was mainly due to June Jones pushing the issue with the school.

I just don't buy that it was hurting their sales and recruiting that much. Their main target demo is in Hawaii and would know the difference between a gay pride symbol and Hawaii gear.

I mean, do you think the Bama big money folk worry that Crimson Tide is slang for a woman's menstrual cycle? Should virulently anti gay Christians go back and edit the rainbow out of Noah's story for something else too?

Those are both just as ridiculous as the logic used to dump Rainbow from their name.

No, if they lost any recruits or sales it wasn't b/c the name. Saying it was was a bullshite cop out for people simply failing at their job.
