Defense Highlights video (Bulls on parade)

[Hervoyel]

Great video. Bulls on parade is still gay but that's a great video. Well done.

But bulls on parade is gay.

gay. Just take the word "YOU" and substitute "Bulls on Parade".

Interesting that you chose to watch the gay version.

When one of our posters observed that the title Bulls on Parade sounded gay, he was freaking right. He wasn't saying anything hateful. He was simply making a valid observation.

I would imagine you consider yourself liberal.

Wow. Co-opted "parade"? And if you don't think the use of the word parade is gay, you must be a liberal?

I heard the song for the first time a few days ago, and I like it. Doesn't sound gay to me. And if I'm not mistaken, some of the Texans have given themselves the name. Considering the lame suggestions I've heard, Bulls on Parade is as good (or better) than any of the others.

Nice video, JamesBill.

You assume I did that. I find that interesting.

I said it was a good video.
In a previous thread I said that was a good song.

It's just a stupid nickname and as a nickname "Bulls on Parade" sounds gay.

Village People "YMCA" Gay

Turkeys and Pilgrims also co-opted "Parade". Sneaky bastards!

Song doesn't sound gay at all. The nickname is gay as ****-all though.

Not sure where that came from. I certainly never said it.

Love the song and have for years.

Love the video JamesBill did.

The title is actually growing on me.

That's because it's sucks and isn't intimidating at all.

Touche'

It only becomes a nickname if everyone chooses to USE it!! You will NEVER hear me call our awesome D "Bulls on Parade!" NEVER!!!!! Not because of the "gay" ref either. It just sounds like a joke, something to look at and enjoy, but not take seriously, like a parade! I hate it!! Conner Barwin started this JOKE of a nickname. I wanna kick his ass!!

[Thorn]

I'm not going to type it, but I hate that nickname in the thread title. Just. Hate. It. It is the stupidest thing I've heard yet for a nickname. Herv, I'd rep you if I could.

The next thing I'm beginning to hate is all this crap about nicknaming our defense. And yeah, I joined in on that in the beginning, but I'm staying out of it now. It's getting to be a giant distraction. Just let the team play and we'll see what happens.

We aren't in the playoffs yet folks, we will be, but we ain't there yet. Leave it be. Once we get to the playoffs, the talent level of the teams we'll face will jump and it will get a lot more difficult. The kitty cats this weekend is NOT going to be an easy game, and if you guys know anything about football, you already know that.

Let the nicknaming crap go folks. Just let it go until we've actually earned a nickname. You get nicknames by winning super bowls. Let's get a few of those under our belts and then see what pops up.

Heaven forbid the fans aren't focused especially in the middle of the week

And just to clarify, I doubt us toying with nicknames is a significant distraction for the team. It's not like they don't goof off in between games a little bit. You have seen "On the Nose" correct?

Way to make my friday morning!! I am pumped for sunday!!!!

EDIT:

OK so I lowered the volume of the announcer and changed the music to Domination and a little Walk at the end. Didn't match up the action to the music. If that sounds better to you, watch this version instead.

Here is the Bulls on Parade version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsQXGMqmI2s

Good video, usually those things take a lot of effort.

Awesome video, but makes me really miss Mario

[TejasTom]

The only nickname I like is "Defending Superbowl Champs!"

The fact is there are a number of words in the contemporary English lexicon that conjure imagery of homosexuality and the trappings of the homosexual community/lifestyle.

The gay community has co-opted a number of words over the past several decades and made it virtually impossible to hear or read those words without making those connections.

The word gay for instance. That word used to mean happy or joyful. Now, it means homosexual and it's used that way almost exclusively.

The gays have also co-opted the rainbow and, yes, to a great extent they've co-opted the word parade.

When one of our posters observed that the title Bulls on Parade sounded gay, he was freaking right. He wasn't saying anything hateful. He was simply making a valid observation.

I would imagine you consider yourself liberal.

The word liberal has Latin roots----liber meaning free.

But one of modern liberalism's bastard children is political correctness. Political correctness is the restriction of speech. The polar opposite of freedom of speech.

Sorry for the rant, but nothing yanks my chain more than seeing someone who's appointed themselves as the avenger of the weak who takes on people for offenses they haven't even committed.

And it seems to me the only one who needs his diaper changed around here is you.

This entire rant (and I hesitate to elevate it to such heights) is more proof why Glenn Beck has lowered the collective IQ of an entire country.

I'm a lot of things, but "nuanced" isn't one of them. I calls 'em like I sees 'em.

Please make your own thread or something where you can put a title on there without that woosified nickname. I'd appreciate it.
