I tried to make small talk with the guy wearing N gear who dropped off our shipment of ephedrine, and he had no idea we landed Casey Thompson in the transfer portal. Didn't seem to understand anything I was talking about. They should have to get rid of IOWA, because doesn't IOWA stand for, I ONLY WANT ANHYDROUS!!!!! Quote Link to comment

macroboy Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 One of my favorite things of the last few years is watching old conservative men call people snowflakes…… And then something like this happens and they become snowflakes. No one said Herbie was racist. What they said is that white supremacy has started using that symbol. We should all be able to agree that not affiliating with that, even if remotely, would be a good thing. It’s pretty simple. If you are offended it is because………. 2 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment

It was a joke on the internet that dumb people fell for. Now we have to appease those dumb people. Not altogether surprising. It's the way of the world now. Exactly!!!! White Supremences Thank us all for the free Advertising. It also helps with Recruting. 2 Quote Link to comment

The thing is NU athletics is a business and when something like this happens that does potential harm to your brand it is up to the business to make adjustments to protect itself. It also wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility that this could have made its way into the the recruiting arena. And a great many of our recruits are the ones who would potentially be the most offended by it. For everybody that is so butt hurt by this move why not drop Trev a note and let him know what an egregious error he has committed in making this change. ad@huskers.com 5 1 Quote Link to comment

308_Husker Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 On one hand, I feel like they could have just made the change without anybody noticing. And on the other hand, I feel like the world has gone utter insane with people being offended by literally anything and everything and if that thing makes anybody uncomfortable for any reason, then we must cease said thing. It's all exhausting, really. 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe Trev should be asking you what symbols are being used by the klan… 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Regardless that Herbie could be grandfathered in, separating our brand from the symbol is perfectly fine. Are the white supremacists in the room with you right now? 1 Quote Link to comment
