They will have moved on to the next hashtag by the time football rolls around and forget they can even do this.
Whoever yells the loudest
If Tar Heels start this bullshit like the NFL then i am done with sports all together.
You should start figuring out what to do with your free time then. Maybe learn a new language or learn how to play an instrument.
Or maybe get addicted to hookers and blow. Let me know if you need some. I know a guy. (cc: @UNC '92 ).
By "done", what do you mean? You mean, begrudgingly continue to watch?
Someone should compile a list of all the people who have promised to not watch Carolina sports because of x, y, or z. Then we could all them out on it 1 by 1.

I'd definitely still watch. I usually refer to it as the "UNC" game, but at that point I would call them nothing but the Tar Heels. I'd also wear stuff that says Tar Heels all the time. Basically the @Terror Beard approach.
I think that's how @strummingram should handle the Redskins situation.

I think he meant the social justice stuff, not the name tar heels. Maybe I misunderstood. Either way hookers and blow are a good solution.
I dont understand the angst over any of it. People are going to do what they want to do...every time. Just kick the damn ball. We'll watch or we won't...but I'd almost bet we do.
I'm going to root for and watch The University of North Carolina because I love doing that and I don't hate any social issue as much as I love the Tar Heels.
Wild thought, I know.

And many people do...nothing wrong with it. I just think principles/beliefs kinda lock you in to something that isn't always great. Like, I don't think the Tar Heels would ever put "let's rape goats" on their jerseys so I can't really ever see them doing something to where it offends me so much that I'd deprive myself of doing something I love.
Those really hard principles (aside from the obvious stuff like "be a good person" "treat others well" etc. etc.) I've found can be a burden on people. An example would be if a person was very anti-homosexuality as a principle and their son/daughter was gay and they disowned them. That principle just cost you something very important.
That's kinda my thought on it. I like when things make me change my mind - I usually learned something in the process.
Ok, that was heavy...back to my original thought, go Heels.
Ah yes, I got my threads on meaningless virtue signalling mixed up, my bad.
I agree that hookers and blow is a viable solution for either.

Yeah, I probably said "I'm done with this f-ing team" 15 times this past basketball season.
Narrator: He was not done with this f-ing team.
My little brother (can I say that at 51 and he's 45?) is trying to get me to stay on-board. It is one of our bonding "things." I think he just wants me to keep paying for the NFL Direct Ticket so he can watch for free! I Skype him on Sundays and we watch the game "together." He gets Vikings games, of course.
Anyway, he did a really stunning example of arbitration/used-car salesman on me. It was basically; "If it's the Washington Football Club/Team, then you can still wear your Redskins gear and even CALL them the Redskins, if you're a fan. The way it's worded now, it sort of leaves it open-ended for whoever is watching. I just want them to start winning." If he'd left the last sentence off, I might have taken the bait. It reminded me of the real cross that we bear- losing. If it were a team that had some kind of "winning" pay-off, it might be easier to get used to. If God magically waved His wand (notice I said His) and the team started winning because the front office caved-in to guilty white liberals, then it might be a fair trade.
We'll see. I just always really loved the whole Indian motif. When I played Cowboys and Indians as a kid, I was ALWAYS an Indian. I mean, to the letter, with "warpaint" on my pasty-white Irish face using magic markers. I HATED "The Cowboys." I still do! I had even started pulling more for the Chiefs because, they were always my "second team" because of THEIR Indian motif! And, the Chiefs have been winning like a muther!
But, we did luck-out, in a sick way... no pun intended. That 2020 season was literally LOST! No winner! I just wish they'd stopped the ACCT one game earlier.
I wish they would’ve stopped it before the clemson game lol. Hate to say it but that team will forever be my least favorite Carolina basketball team, mainly because they blew the streak.
The worst team ever as far as I’m concerned. At least all of the other ones managed not to lose to the taters in Chapel Hill.

that's because the Tar Heels are not from some rathole northeastern city.
