From the February 18, 2021, Chicago Tribune "Valpo not alone in changing nickname" by Andrew Golden.
It seems everywhere you look across the sports world everything is under attack. Especially in the area of team nicknames for fear of offending indigenous, ethnic and religious groups.
Valparaiso University in Indiana is the latest to announce a name, mascot and logo change.
In fairness, there have been efforts to remove the name Crusaders over the years, but you-know-who's killing last year turned it into a bonfire.
And, Valparaiso is not the only team in this situation.
At least three are in the process of changing their nicknames. One is a college, one is an NFL team and the other a NLB team.
There are also six teams holding the line on name changes.
