Next thing you know they'll change the mascot because Cavaliers fought for royalist King Charles against Cromwell and the Parliamentarians in the English Civil War.

What did they actually change? The main one looks the same just with a different color scheme? The new alternate ones suck

What fricking difference does it make in your lives if they change it? Why do you care?

When they unveiled the new logos in April, the press release stated it was mimicking the Serpentine Wall at UVA. A wall built by slave labor. I found a few articles from April chastising UVA for doing so, but it seemed to be water under the bridge until now.

It's literally 20 people on Twitter and then a bunch of anonymous trolls and China bots liking their tweets, so that makes UVA think a couple hundred people are offended.

And, well, in today's America you just can't afford to offend a couple hundred people on Twitter!!!

Thank God. I was so offended. I’ll sleep well tonight. What’s next? Syracuse changing their nickname to Black. Because Orange might be for Trump as in Orange Man Bad.

I for one am glad they changed the grip on the sword handles. Racism isn't solved but we're getting closer.

IT IS STARTING. The Orwellian elimination of history because of modern day arrogance and narcissism, thing is I never thought of UVA's mascot in a racist/hateful manner, these Antifa fricks are relying on some tenuous/weak arguments to make this case. What if we learn that popcorn was discovered by people with a connection to people who owned slaves? I'm supposed to stop eating popcorn? HELL NO, POPCORN TASTES AWESOME. It's really dumb if we think about it, without the UVA brand, why would anyone want to care about UVA? Might as well be the University of Montana or some no name school. It's all horseshite.
