This political correctness crap seems to have spread widely over college sports this year.

Whatever this is, it isn't "political correctness." And don't get me started on what a bullshit controversy political correctness itself was.

For about five minutes in 1990, "political correctness" was a club used by people on the left to stifle those who disagreed with them.  For the last 20 years it's been a club used by people on the right to discount those who disagree with them.

I'm not going to hold my breath their fans can do what their players seemingly cannot.

Well whatever you want to call it, it doesnt really matter. I dont have a good name for it but I think the movie Fight Club captures this trend perfectly.

And if we do, UND will attribute it to the hostile environment...

Fine, let them.  I have no problem with visiting teams using the hostile environment at Lynah as an excuse for losing there, they just sound like whiners if they do.

That is pretty much a more tightly written version of what I was thinking. So now you know that the two of us agreeing again was the chill that just went up your spine.

That's a pretty good line, whether it's original or you're recalling someone else. PC was annoying from the very first. I was happy with the first flashes of rage against PC's excesses (remember the Oberlin or Antioch rules of seduction where you asked permission for each base and each side of each layer of clothing?). Now, it's beating a long-vanquished and no longer potent foe. Sort of like railing at the seat belt interlocks of the (?) 1970s or early 1980s (?).
