Learn from History, but you cannot rewrite it. Some of you house wives mine as well be modern slave owners.. The lady that cleans your house is getting paid pennies on the dollar. The guy that mows your lawn is getting less than that.

ALL BS, the Lee from Lee Mt. Vernon has nothing to do with Robert Lee the the Confederate General. It was named after the man, the legend, Bruce Lee.

Everyone seems to overlook the Robert E. Lee Rec Center. His name is in big letters on the entrance.

Have you seen LVMSC teams? I doubt they are complaining, many of them are latin kids that don't have a horse in this race.

Lee High School in Faifax unanimously voted to change the name (source at bottom). My question is: should Lee Mount Vernon Sports Club change their name? Isn't it time to reflect the general sentiment of its members? It doesn't seem very appropriate for a youth sports club to be named after the Confederate General. To be honest, I'm not sure if Mount Vernon should be in the name either given its historical usage as a plantation. I am supportive of a name change. Perhaps something more community based like we were told is the most important thing during the townhall?

How about "Rose Hill Sports Club"?

Hey Karen, when was the last time you had a black guy enter your house?

Let's refocus on the real issue in America. The sudden explosion of fake Indians entering this country. It is insulting to native americans who were the OG. Not the jesus sandal wearing clowns.

How about if they don't meet all our demands to change the name we start LOOT and start burning stuff! We will rain fire on one American city for every day our demands are not met!

As ridiculous as that comment was, it is on par with the rest of this worthless thread.

did you really just say they don't have an opinion on their sports club being named after the confederate army leader and george washington's slave plantation?

Yes the Jefferson cup should be renamed because he was RACIST! They should call it the wonderful cup so everyone knows how wonderful each and all of our special children are.d

Snowflake cup it shall be!
