Call Rush and tell him to calm down. There's a long way to go before that would happen. It's just posturing to bring about reform. Now, these government created dog-men, that's a different story!

Not changing the flag will destroy our university (and OM). The direct impact would be huge. The indirect impact would be massive.
I wish existing and prospective businesses would be next to start apply pressure to the state.
Why our leadership cannot understand this amazes me.
I have no doubt that the Russians are gleeful to see the rioting, protests, and racial division we have in America at the present time. I don't doubt they would love to see America destroyed from within. I put nothing past them. We should have probably followed Gen. Patton's advice and fought the Soviet Union after we beat Germany in WW2.
Well do we have a contract with a financial penalty like we do with OOC teams? That would be a financial wind fall. Or does that open them to litigation for failing to live up to a verbal contract? Or does the SEC and Sankey tell them that they have to play because the conference caused this problem to begin with. And if not do we have cause against the conference?
Oregon and Oregon State to retire the "Civil War" name.
Absolute madness in our country.
I don't know where you are getting that from, but it simply isn't true. Yes some supplies came into the USSR through Murmansk and Archangel. But that was never a whole lot compared to Soviet industrial output. Early in the war the Soviets moved many of their factories east of the Ural mountains and by the end of they war they had been producing steadily. For example the Soviets manufactured roughly 80,000 T-34 tanks during the war. Only 1400 ships or so made the arctic convoy run and those that did could never have carried anything near that many tanks.
Support Kylin / Change the Flag.
This wasn't hard thing for fans to be behind. Kylin likes the spotlight, yes. Kylin played under that flag for 3 years, yes. What changed? Look around you. The protests have caused some progress. Kylin took note of his status and helped take an effective stand. He realized that America is listening.
3 years ago we weren't. See: Colin Kaepernick.
Kylin likely has every full intention of playing this season, but he recognized a smart opportunity to change a symbol of oppression. He should make you proud to be a bulldog.
OK, I see you've done some history research. I know Roosevelt signed a lend-lease agreement to give the Soviet Union 1 billion dollars to fight the war in October, 1941, after we had already given them lots of other supplies. We are surmising what may have happened if we hadn't helped the Soviet Union-nobody really knows. Obviously, Stalingrad was the turning point in the war.
This thread went completely off the rails quick.
