Didn't hear about this, but am relieved to know we have taken another step toward righting the wrongs of the past. No more blue and gray, baws.

MOBILE, Ala (WKRG) – The Senior Bowl’s executive director said Monday that the game’s change from a North vs. South format is to avoid “insensitive” Civil War imagery, and was made with this past summer’s social justice protests in mind.
“Everything that our country was going through, if you didn’t look yourself in the mirror personally and in your line of work and see how you could maybe do things better, I don’t think you were doing it right,” Senior Bowl Director Jim Nagy told WKRG News 5. “So it was a time of reflection for me and it probably was for everyone, and I just thought the best thing to do was change up those names.”

They should rename the teams to something more innocent like Blue and Gray.

Nah
It was about states rights to play football without soys interfering.

So he landed on changing directional team names for an exhibition football game.
Maybe he should've looked in the mirror a little longer.

No one was even thinking about that. Talk about bringing a story to life

Should be SEC vs everyone else

I think other sports should follow suit. I’m irrationally triggered that the NFL has divisions named the North and South. Can you imagine POC on those teams having to wake up every morning knowing they are in the South Division? The horror!

Senior Bowl executives doing work to be relevant and get in the public eye. Because I can guarantee you not a single person asked for this

Isint the game played at Cramden bowl in Montgomery Alabama?
What about calling it Cripps vs Bloods bowl?
That should make it much more accurate and social juicy sensitive!
