Calling the CWS the “MCWS” is aggravating.

I don’t know why, but calling the College World Series the MCWS makes me irrationally angry every time ESPN puts it on the screen.
It was the CWS for ~75 years. Why change it?

Yeah, it's BS. I hate it too.

We cover this every year on here but yes it’s absurd.

There are two different series - the WCWS and the MCWS. Not sure why something so simple will upset so many thin skinned people.

Probably because it's completely unnecessary even within the context of why they're trying to change it. Just more hollow performative garbage.

Because they need to cater to women by throwing an M in front of an acronym....all while praising men who enter and dominate women's sports.
It's quite a paradox.

You do realize they only started calling it MCWS because thin skinned people got upset at it being called CWS and WCWS.

Well it is kind of helpful. If I see WCWS I know not to tune into that channel so it saves me a step.
It’s aggravating to turn on a basketball game and it’s women playing. I’m glad they have sports, but it’s not something I’m interested in. But that’s just my line of thinking right or wrong.
I appreciate the heads up.

No kidding. I mean baseball and softball are 2 different sports. It's not like you have a men's team and a women's team playing the same sport.

If that’s the case, why is the NBA not called the MNBA?
To me, and all normal people, it’s the CWS and WCWS.

Maybe they should call it the college baseball world series and then the college softball world series

It would make sense if they were the same sport

Yep
It is College World Series. Period.
The more recent Women’s College Softball World Series is appropriately known as the
WCWS. It is one that has to be identified (oops I might have used an incorrect term there) differently.

No. He doesn’t realize it…..because he simply doesn’t have the mental capacity to realize it.

The 2048 CWS will probably be the AMABCWC. Assigned Male At Birth College World Series.

Is it new this year?

Maybe it should be called Omaha 2023. Everyone should know what that is and maybe it wouldn’t ruffle anyone’s feathers…..
