Playing football for Winston-Salem's R. J. Reynolds High School in the late 1950s, we were the (all-white) Reynolds Black Demons. When the name changed I don't remember, but now the school's sports teams are the Reynolds Demons, and have been for many years. Go Demons!Dr. Bliss wrote:My older brother played football for the Morehead High Black Panthers in the 60s. By the time I came along, I played for the Morehead High Fighting Panthers.

Take solace that you will suffer for only 1 more season and look forward to The Donald's great emancipation of American Christianity, when we can proclaim "Free at last, free at last, to say 'Merry Christmas' and enjoy a hot beverage from a cup adorned with a wreath or even a Wise Man"stevelee wrote:I'm already dreading December when Starbucks will persecute me again for my religion.dorp wrote:There's a great market these days for the suddenly offended.stevelee wrote:Political Correctness strikes again. http://www.theatlantic.com/news/archive ... ll/495941/

Reynolds' football coach in the late 1950s and early 1960s was a Davidson grad, Shirley "Red" Wilson (Class of 1950), who later was head coach at Elon and Duke. Red Wilson was inducted into Davidson's Hall of Fame in 1991. Several of his Reynolds players went on to play football for Davidson, including Dick Voorhees, Britt Smith, Lyle Blalock and Steve Heckard, who also is in our HOF. I went on to become an all-star flickerball player for the Betas!!
Did the Fighting Christians ever play against Lions?

Last season I saw W&M play football at Elon. It would have be the Indians at the Fighting Christians, but alas, now it is the Tribe at the Phoenix.
Frankly, the only thing that offends me are the folks who are so easily offended!
Two women in Northwest China fainted from exhaustion after quarrelling with each other for eight hours without eating or drinking, according to local media reports.
Just north of Clemson, in Central, SC, reside the Daniel HS Lions. I am surprised that this team name has survived, for a number of reasons.stevelee wrote:Did the Fighting Christians ever play against Lions?

There is a very important difference. The Jefferson memorial was not created to specifically memorialize how fervently he was willing to fight to keep his slaves.raptorcat wrote: Oh, Geez, here we go again. We gotta give this a rest. What will be next? Removing Thomas Jefferson from the currency and renaming the Jefferson Memorial because he was a slaveholder?
