reason for it...from the web...

at Ole Miss, Landshark is a term that was first adopted by the Rebel football team's defensive unit. As part of that identity, defensive players celebrate big plays by putting a hand to their forehead in the shape of a shark fin. A battle cry of "Fins Up" also contributes to the players' persona.

further explanation....

Mississippi must do away with 'Ole Miss,' 'Rebels' and Confederate flag. ... It's time for the university to change its "Rebels" nickname and stop referring to itself as "Ole Miss" — a phrase derived from a term slaves used when addressing the wife of a plantation owner.

[daneblazer]

It’s always about the slaves

I call bs on that last part

[qwertvt]

I can understand getting rid of the stars and bars (confederate flag) but not “Ole Miss”.

If I was a black player, I wouldn’t want to be surrounded by rednecks waving the flag and singing Dixie.

Yeah but why? It's because of brainwashing and guilt laid on them by the Hollywood freak show. That industry shouldn't be influencing a bark park.

Like some others have said, I can see where a state institution might need to cool it with the rebel flag. This stuff with "Ole Miss" though is revisionist, embellished horse dung. This is what the left does. When they want something they think any means and lies told are justified.

They wanted a woman president so they did all they could to make that happen ignoring that she is a corrupt hypocrite. More recently they think it's time for a black James Bond, so they make up narratives that there have been talks and it's almost a done deal with Idris Elba so they created tons of pressure on the Bond industry even though neither parties had ever talked.

The woman credited with the Ole Miss name was not a student then so wasn't in the yearbook. She was born well after the civil war so there is no way she knew how slaves talked. Truth is, they liked the name compared to the other choice which was "cotton boll" or something like that, and there is no evidence it was based upon slave speak. If it did have anything to do with a black phrase, it was a phrase she heard them use when they weren't slaves. Being offended by that is like boycotting cotton because it was a main cash crop on slave plantations hundreds of years ago.

[dlowilly]

wut are u so afraid of

A country full of brainwashed government dependent fools told what to think by a bunch of twisted fuks in the main stream media

Any other questions?

[hotcross]

^^^it's been that way for decades. Think about your parents generation attitudes towards believing everything they hear on the "news".

Actually getting better now. People informing themselves more. Some, not all.

By the way, the word "news" is an acronym for everything that happens in the North, East, West, South = NEWS

[bonzaii]

Communists/Progressives trying to destroy tradition everywhere. They don't like that Ole Miss has the word Rebel in it. They want nothing but conformists sissy girls around the country who they can boss around.

No it isn't dude

Research it and maybe you will realize how constantly repeating things like that and the "Ole Miss" origination narrative make it true for so many people.

[hotcross]

I have....and yes it is. There are plays on words and multiple meanings for the same words in the English language.

in other words maybe we both are right, depending on perspective

if you disagree or have another viewpoint - that's all it is

this site is still about sports to me, not politics

No

"News" did not originate from an acronym of north east west south

[Mr KLC]

I'm turning 50 this year. At least most of my life will be known to be around here when it was pretty sane overall. You younger guys can have whatever you are building for the next couple of generations.

[hotcross]

I did not say that was the origin. More like a hidden meaning. You're adding more on than what was said, while at the same time, I don't find that you are keeping an open mind to the other perspectives being presented.

Anyway, this is prime example why it doesn't pay to chat with you on here. Sorry I got involved, shoulda just stopped with posting the reason for the university's mascot change.

[packerd_00]

Eastern Kentucky still have their Colonel Mascot,good for them.
