Former Florida State linebacker Kendrick Scott has started a petition to rename Doak Campbell Stadium over Campbell's pro-segregation views while serving as university president.
Campbell transitioned the school from Florida State College for Women to Florida State, serving as president from 1941-57. He also spearheaded the construction and completion of the football stadium that now bears his name.
But Campbell was also against the admission of black students on campus and was adamantly against integration, information that has started to resurface over the past several weeks, including on the Twitter page of former fullback Freddie Stevenson.
quote:
Scott suggested renaming the stadium after Bobby Bowden, who turned Florida State into a national power and won two national championships during his 34 years at the school. The field at the stadium is currently named for Bowden, so Scott suggests naming the field after Heisman-winning quarterback Charlie Ward.

Why Charlie Ward? Why not Chris Weinke or Jameis Winston?
Why not Derrick Brooks? Warrick Dunn? Peter Warrick? Kelvin Benjamin? Burt Reynolds?

FSU hasn’t had anything to cheer about ever since Jimbo left them in total disarray. Maybe this is something they can all cheer about.

I bet that would get some pushback from the mob. I know of one former player that trashed Bobby on social media for supporting Trump

FSU could change their mascot to a rag (and you know what I am talking about)

Yeah... no tears for this dude. Dump his name and slap a sponsorship on it. Maybe then FSU will be willing to keep up with facilities.

Doak-Bowden Stadium sounds ok

If they look hard enough they'll find Bobby Bowden used the N word in his background.
