VERMONT CAVES
A Vermont school is changing the names of its sports teams:
Champlain Valley Union High School just graduated its last Crusaders, with the School Board set to pick a new name for the school’s teams by fall ...
Some argue that the name Crusaders is an important school tradition. Others see it as a symbol of religious oppression.
Via LGF. So, which name should replace “Crusaders”? Some suggestions:
a) Girly Punk Kids
b) Howard Deans
c) Surrenderers
d) The Whipped
e) Li’l Fiskies
f) NYT Staffers
g) Michael Moore’s Minutemen
h) Plastic Turkeys
i) Jihadists
j) DU Posters
k) Dowdsters
Or perhaps the school could take an aggressive counter-intuitive approach, in which case a name might be chosen from the following:
l) Guantanamo Bay Koran Flushers
m) X-Treme Abu Ghraib Tie-Up-and-Pointers
n) Chimpostein Hitlerburton Bushreich Hitlerchrists
Hey, it’s up to the school. Option n possibly wouldn’t fit on team uniforms.
