University of Wisconsin uniforms will include a modified version of the school's crest in "a show of support, inclusion and unity," the athletic department announced Wednesday.

quote:

"I have previously stated my commitment to taking meaningful steps involving issues of diversity and inclusion in our athletic department," UW athletic director Barry Alvarez said in a statement. "There is plenty of work to do, but I am pleased we will be able to show our support in a way that is important to our student-athletes."

Pack it up baws, we’ve defeated racism.

The color white is racist

No one is actually sheet white

The color light light tan should be the racist color

Modern political correctness was born a UW-Madison.

But, W is still the first letter of white, though.

I think they should have gone whole hog and went with a black "B" - or even better, black "BLM."

Their AA student population is like 2%. I would rather they recruit more diversity than change a font, but whatever.

It wasn’t that long ago when they were photoshopping minorities into their brochures to appear inclusive.

Another useless symbolic gesture.

This means nothing. Until they do away with playing “Jump Around” (an appropriated rap song sung by a white guy), UW is still a bastion of racism that literally has us shaking.

They do OK with American football recruiting. Big, white OL, however. Best in the country, many times.
