Is this a joke? If so, NOT, funny. If not a joke...stfu and move this garbage to the paddock
Never thought I would see a question like that asked here, hell no it should never be changed, why would it, on what grounds.
I didn't know Rupp fought for the Confederacy.
i'm 100% certain that will be the stupidest question I answer today.
I voted no.
I voted no.
F the op... I just met an alumni a week ago that was telling me stories of how he worked for Rupp and "Happy". He was a student in grad school helping with the recruitment of minorities. Basically, it was a huge uphill battle, trying to convince the kids to try UK
Is it time to rename every structure or building, remove every statue, and pretend nothing that happened in the past happened because some people today didn't like something they said, did, or believed?
Maybe we can name it Sharpton Arena to prove we are progressive. Political correctness knows no bounds.
Probably because your definition (in this case) and a lot of the liberals' current view of what's "progressive" isn't actually progressive. In fact, what liberals try to call "progressive" only makes problems worse and propagates division between races and various people groups.
Why would you want to change the name from the first coach to try and break the color barrier in the SEC. Rupp tried to recruit Butch Beard when these rest of the conference was against it but lost out to UL. He was way ahead of other schools like UNC and Duke on that front so lets change the name of Duke since it sounds racist. Makes as much sense.
Rupp has been transformed into a symbol of racism that he never was."Said former UK playerPat Riley,"People who didn't know him went through the myth and the legend and all the rumors more than anything else, and did not go directly to people who knew Adolph."

Wonder if we named it the Barack Hussein Obama Arena. Reckon would that pacifie the liberal, snowflakes then? Then what would the snowflakes demand next?... Oh I know, I bet they would say take down the 4 championship banners that coach Rupp won. You can never please this trash.
Settle down with the logic. It's too early for that.
What part of the country is the internet in?
Could you tell us why we would change the name?
By the way, I read that you were a nazi, aryan nation, kkk, black panther member - should we ban you?
If it is on the internet....

Politics both bore and annoy me. That being said, I have to pipe in and say this idea is pure feces.
Guess since I'm not progressive I will go ahead and call you by your name as it reads to me. GAYHATER.
I hope I am NEVER a "progressive thinker".
So as the poll currently stands it is 46 votes No and 2 votes Yes. So in a liberals mind since there are two people offended it makes sense. We cant offend any of the snowflakes
Is it time to rename the O'Connell Center?
'The University of Florida had integrated racially in 1958 without violence and with little protest.[1] By the 1967 fall term, however, only sixty-one black students were enrolled, and many black students were actually foreign exchange students.[7] The Black Student Union organized a sit-in protest inside the university president's office suite on April 15, 1971; the students were demanding a black cultural center. The occupation ended with the peaceful arrest of sixty-six students, after O'Connell had threatened them with expulsion.[7] In the aftermath of the sit-in, O'Connell refused to grant complete amnesty to the student demonstrators who had participated, and 125 of the university's black students and several black faculty members left the university in protest.[8]'

Adolph Rupp was never a racist. If he was coaching today, his team would look just like coach Cal's.
