I can't help but think that with all of the craziness of SJW's trying to purge all things confederate, that Ole Miss will come under fire to drop the rebels as a team mascot (and possibly rebrand all together).

Will the nonsense continue until football season when they become more high profile again?

under pressure to get rid of the flag/rebel name?

or under pressure to come out as gay?

I'd think their gayness would engender them to the lefties enough to where their racism is ignored.

No. We've changed a bunch but if they got rid of either ole miss or the nickname Rebels then it would be a madhouse.

The mascot vote was rigged to eventually make the transition to "Mississippi Bruins". It's just a matter of time

You mean gay as in a man taking a posed shirtless photo looking like he's constipated?

They can just say their team is named after the rebels fighting the red coats during the Revolution and not change anything.

You're an LSU fan and we are ole miss so naturally you dislike us. Basically we can't do anything right.

Everything about Ole Miss is racist. The term Ole Miss came from a term the slaves used to addresses the wives of the plantation owners. Colonel Reb was the caricature of a plantation owner. They are associated with the confederate flag more than any other school. The nickname Rebels was only chosen because it was easier to say than the other nickname of choice, Ole Massas.
