Drop Dead would not approve of that guy wearing their t-shirt...

Drop dead can refer to:

* Dropdead, a hardcore punk band of Rhode Island
* Drop Dead, a 1984 LP by the hardcore punk band Siege
* Drop Dead Clothing, a clothing brand owned by Bring Me the Horizon lead singer Oliver Sykes

LOL ok NM... I guess I forgot they were called Dropdead.

You can't paint all of Ole Miss with the same brush, but every time something like this comes up, I think back to this paragraph written a few years ago when racism reared its ugly head in Oxford for the 239847th time.

It is not that Ole Miss itself condones this or isn't trying to eliminate it. The chancellor, for example, has asked the band to stop playing "From Dixie With Love" if fans don't stop chanting, "The South will rise again."

They say Ole Miss is "The Harvard of the South". I mean, I'm sure the Chancellor up there has had to deal with the same issues, amirite?

The entire "hey, I told them not to do that" thing with southern universities is some apply-head-to-desk shit. When my friends were at LSU the administration kept telling people not to bring the little flags to the football games that people saw as team-supporting: purple and gold versions of a confederate flag

dying here, perfect expression

my high school's mascot was "the rebels" and all our shit had rebel flags on it! i was on the soccer team, and this was v annoying to deal with. when my friends and i protested it we got loads of shit! a pal of mine was slammed between a door+wall repeatedly by the football team. it was a huge hoopla. 10 yrs later they finally re-evaluated it

this was all complicated by the fact that our top football rival was a mostly black high school

GO MHS!!!!!!!

I never got the UNLV Rebels. Is that supposed to be some sort of Utah Jazz thing?

my mom's suggestion during that controversy was to just be rebels like marlon brando in the wild one and everyone start wearing leather jackets and caps, soooo embarrassing mom still smdh

rebel without a costume

lol roxmom

bless her heart

I can't beleive that after all that nonsense was said and done, they came up with the Black Bear mascot.

Like, no, of course I'm not now thinking of Paul Winfield or anyone.

utah black bears are sooo cute. they are fatter than the ones here

wait we arent talking about utah anymore and possibly never were. ole miss has no claim to black bears imo and have mishandled this situation and indeed all situations

i really do wonder when washington of all places will decide to change their team's name, i mean they changed their nba team from the bullets to the wizards because it was controversial.

i was just talking about that earlier! it fuckin boggles the mind. our nation's capital! i know washington city paper doesnt print the name anymore, maybe other media too

tbf dan snyder probably charges them to use the name

they call them the pigskins, lol

if ole miss is gonna get right with the world they probably need to stop referring to themselves as ole miss while they are at it. im sure thats been covered here

should change it to olé miss

washington city paper conducted a reader poll to rename the team and pigskins won. the washington half smokes did p well as i recall. would become a mega fan and buy all their merch and move to washington if they were actually named that

olé ms. to be really PC.
