Interestingly, the people that seemed to find it most offensive were Vanderbilt fans who had kept up with the facts of the case and understood the level of depravity.

I know a bunch of Vandy fans and none were offended by the tweet. It's faux outrage by liberals at best but really just people making fun of how stupid the quote was.
-first...there is no outrage expressed/claim of being offended in this thread. People are simply positing that this slogan is a massive fail and incredibly stupid in light of the gang rape situation Vandy is currently experiencing. To holler LIBRUL1!!1...is pitiful and stupid. Second...I am 43 years old and have voted for exactly one non republican or non libertarian in 25 years : (Mayor Jim Gray...successful businessman/outbid me on a beretta silver pigeon o/u 28 ga at a DU fundraiser a few years ago). I am not pc *at all*...this is simply an idiotic slogan. To suggest otherwise is pure ignorance.
I have a number of Vandy connections and alums in my family and we pull for Vandy just after UK. This was an offensive and incredibly stupid slogan. Not only did it make little sense but it did lend itself to be connected immediately with the unfortunate rape case. It was just stupid and embarrassing for a fine institution.
I can tell you one thing: after hearing the evidence of what those boys did to that girl my outrage is real not faux. There is no punishment severe enough for those bastards. I understand that Vanderbilt didn't INTEND to remind people of the worst sex scandal in college athletics history, but, unfortunately, that was the result. It was an ill-conceived, poorly worded slogan and the outrage that came from Twitter (to the credit of Vanderbilt fans) was from their fan-base more than any other. I don't know what their political leanings were because it doesn't really matter, stupid is stupid regardless of political ideology.
Oh it definitely matters what their political leanings are.
People that aren't liberals don't walk around looking for something to be offended about.
And lol about your faux outrage
You have no idea what you are talking about. It has nothing to do with being politically correct, the slogan was just kind of stupid especially in the context of the rape scandal. Anyone that isn't outraged by the actual rape should be taken out and shot.
I absolutely know what I'm talking about and you equating Radio's stupid quote to what those four kids did to that girl is ridiculous. It's faux outrage, period.
Being mad and sick to your stomach over the actual rape is totally different. Most humans were disgusted by what happened that night.
Oh well I never said I was outraged over the "we don't need your permission" tweet. I just thought it was kind of dumb. I didn't see anybody on here who was outraged by it. But Vandy does suck and I'm always happy when they are at the very bottom.
