This cancel culture will result in a Trump landslide victory. Society has become a joke because a few people are offended over little things.

I’m generally on board with this social progress stuff, but in this situation it looks like no one was even calling for this to be changed. The admin just did it, which makes you wonder. Are they overcompensating for something?

And just like that, Florida has taken the SJW first place position away from Georgia! I have to think my Tigers will respond in mind numbing fashion, but having already shocked the world by rejecting demands to remove the Thomas Jefferson statue from campus anything is possible.

So I guess you think tiger bait is also racist, I think you are race-obsessed and should deal with your racism in a less public way

Their rational is based on an urban legend told to carpetbaggers


Never happened, no more than gators getting flushed down the sewers and growing to enormous size

They are cancelling their tradition essentially due to a rumor based on a chain letter based on the weekly world news

Goes to look up how it is racist...

Okay, so apparently the horrible history is that the African American children of slaves were used as bait for gators. That is truly terrifying.

That said, is that a direct correlation to the phrase "gator bait"? I mean, were people in Florida seeing African-American children and using the term "gator bait" to refer to them even after the fact? If not, I don't think the phrase is racist. If so, then yeah, it probably was.

Might as well cancel the alligator as a mascot, based on this.
