What is wrong with the eye of texass I keep reading about you being sued ?


Pretty much the same reason we can't do our Gatorbait cheer any longer. These people cannot stand for other folks to have any success or fun.

None of us who ever grew up singing the Eyes ever thought it was racist, and we did not intend any racism either while we were cheering on Earl and Ricky and our other Black players down on the field. I don't think that lawsuit has any legal merit, and I am a lawya...

Problem is if you look back far enough, not only the South but the entire U.S., there is racist history there. Yale which produces many liberal graduates was named for Elihu Yale, associated with the Dutch East India company and East Indian slave trade: See:LINK

You could make just about everything in this country racist if you go back far enough. We just named our stadium after our Heisman winners Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams (respect which I absolutely support), and NCAA players have NIL rights now... I think we are moving forward, not back...
