re: What are some college football rivalry names the SJW and Libs got their hands on?

This was changed because the Big 12 thought it implied they didnt play defense in the league. SJW werent responsible for this one.

The University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas have agreed to rename the Red River Rivalry, again. Previously known as the Red River Shootout, the name was changed to disassociate with gun violence and it is once again changing names to the Red River Showdown.

In 2005, a brand tried to change the name to "the SBC Red River Rivalry," since "rivalry" has less to do with violence than "shootout" does. Since football has more to do with violence than "rivalry" does, this never made much sense. Some people agreed to start calling it that. Some didn't.

The Shootout name stuck until 2005, when a corporate sponsor changed the name to the “SBC Red River Rivalry” to avoid the gun violence connotations that “shootout” has. The reaction remains pretty mixed.

In 2005, it was sponsored by SBC Communications, and the game was officially renamed the SBC Red River Rivalry, with the word "Rivalry" replacing "Shootout" out of a desire not to convey an attitude of condoning gun violence.
