2wedge Posted November 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 It just feels so unnecessary and takes away some of the mystique of that Mustangs D. Not many high schools have a moniker attached to a specific phase of their football team, and that is something that matters in high school. Eh, just something I was thinking about.

Unwoke Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Blue Link Defense?!! What is that? A New Home Alarm System! Smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rez Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 I’m not sure anyone actually ever cared or was actually offended by the Chain Gang. Local administrators just wanted to look they were doing something. I guarantee if they had asked the team to vote on it it would have never been changed. Call them the Chain Gang if you want. The Chain Gang sounds scary. The Blue Link sounds insultingly stupid and cheesy, like it’s something a Cub Scout den mother made up.

TrojanMoJo Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 I like the chain link defense. Blue link defense doesn’t sound very intimidating. It is what is 🤔🤔. WOS has always been known since i can remember as child for their defense. 1980’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullets13 Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Is this a movement that was started by people of color in WOS who legitimately find it offensive? If so, then call it the blue link defense. Was it started by white liberals from other cities who feel the need to represent "simple country folks" that "just don't know any better?" If that's the case, leave it alone. It sure seems like far too often these "controversies" are created by people who don't have any skin in the game or a dog in the fight.

mat Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Decades of players have been honored to play a productive role on the chain gangs defense with pride. If asked, probably not one would consider it to have been offensive. Now it’s inappropriate to who? RETIREDFAN1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boneyard Boys Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Dad gum it… we already decided this about halfway through the season. It is no longer called the Blue D or whatever, it is called the Stampede Defense from here on out. We even cleared it with @powerlifter it was his idea to begin with and he is the ultimate West Orange insider. I even think @Mr. Buddy Garrity can back me up on this one, it shall be known as the WOS Stampede Defense. Since y’all dropped the ‘Chain Gang’ nickname, Vidor took it over we have the Chain Gang Offense now.
