“Crusaders no more: Valparaiso University chooses to replace nickname embraced by hate groups”
Beginning the 2021-22 academic year, Valparaiso University's athletic teams will be known as the 'Beacons' rather than the 'Crusaders.' The school shed its old nickname after saying it had been embraced by hate groups, like the KKK.

Beacons? Really?
It's enough to make you a Guardians fan. I do like bacon, though.

They should schedule Wake Forest so the Beamin' Beacons could play the Demon Deacons.
Will they change their school song to "Walkin' on Sunshine?" Will Electric Light Orchestra now replace their pep band?
Besides, the new nickname only counts if the lighthouse is powered by renewable energy. If it's powered by old fashioned electricity, then they have replaced Crusaders with an anti-environmental logo. Or will they hire Elton John to sing "Candle in the Wind" as the new alma mater song and claim the beacon is candle-powered? In that case, the school song should be changed to "Burnin' Down the House."

Can’t hold any candlepower to Mount Clemens Battling Bathers and those Mighty Nimrods in the UP? Goooooo UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs! Really too bad those AH Proud Boy Types and other Roaders had to soil the Crusader moniker with their dreck in my estimation. I applaud this Christians for acting on their beliefs. More candlepower to them
