Somthing that REALLY PISSES ME OFF!
« on: August 01, 2013, 08:49:19 PM »
Posted on the YSU web Site:  I was showing my kids the words and noticed something that was changed to be politically correct.  What a bunch of A-Holes...........!

What is wrong with this?  Any takers?


YSU's Fight Song | Fight Song MP3

The Red and White are waving
Over the field
Our teams are fighting
With a spirit that will not yield
Rah-Rah-Rah
Hail to thee O'Youngstown
We'll fight for you
Once again the Penguins
Will win for YSU

Power, protect yourself.  The Title IX police should be breaking down your door about now. 8)  If you think this sucks, and it does, consider that some textbook publishers actually delete phrases from the Declaration of Independence.  Apparently, Jefferson's rant against the king of England that follows the elegant opening paragraphs offends certain groups in this disgusting "diverse" modern universe.

Fight songs are traditional.  I just can't believe that they would change it.  I will not acknowledge the politically correct version.  they will need to come and knock down my door in Savannah if they see fit :D.

I am happy that you recognized the "issue", but not surprised because you are one of the best critical thinkers on this board.

Noles,

In the traditional version the third line reads "Our boys are fighting."  Power has shown you the politically correct edition.  Now if our female athletes sing the song and want to use "team" that is fine.  But to change the lyrics for our male teams is just disgusting.

Is it any worse than still having "Penny Penguin"? I mean that is as 60's & 70's as it gets. All together now "...I am strong ...I am invincible ...I am..."


Of course I should not complain, we could end up with Pete and Frank.

Funny!

About the change in wording, does not seem like a big deal to me

It iso generic and horrible. They should make it boys and girls. You could be rooting for the tennis team during a football game. It is horrible and wrong to have it changed.
