Communism is Upsetting
I found
this article while surfing through
Yoni Cohen's College Basketball blog. I chose to link to it not for the reason he did, the banning of the Rock n Roll Part 2 Cheer at Maryland, but because of the last paragraph.
Meanwhile, the 4,000-seat student section that rings the Comcast Center court will be known as "Garyland." Last year's designation — the Red Army — was withdrawn after alumni objected it referred to the Soviet Union.
Yes, and nothing else in college basketball has ever been offensive before. Now, someone is upset about the Soviet Union? And to add to the thought, you are telling me that with all the students who go to that school, they couldn't come up with a better name for the section than "Garyland"? Personally, if I was an opponent, I would feel a little more intimidated by "The Red Army" than something that sounds like a theme park in some guy's backyard dedicated to himself.
Sorry, Maryland, you got this choice very wrong.
