ORU Thread

Their student section is badass?

Absolutely not. They’re a bunch of weirdos who don’t understand basketball. Time for curfew shuts them up pretty quick.
How many games have you been to at ORU?

Our students haven’t been able to touch them since like 02-03 or whenever the Reynolds Rowdies (football players) got in trouble for some stupid crap.

Call them weirdo cult members or whatever you like but they outshine our student section in basketball support by eleventy billion points

ORU Thread

Their student section is badass and they brought some of them tonight. Was nice to see our student section out chant their chants and give them grief.
Huge part of the college game.
It was entertaining to watch them both go back and fourth with each other , made it feel like a true rivalry game , a true no NIL college basketball rivalry

Do reasonable people believe acceptance of our differences is a bad idea? Inclusion is a good thing. DEI gets murky when people are hired or promoted due to their amount of melanin in their skin. Makes for a lengthy discussion with many complexities. Pros and cons on both sides.
I agree such programs probably exist.

But there are many programs that are really about accepting one another in a genuine way at work.

I have heard some very brave employees speak about how they have been shunned in life, sometimes by their own families, who feel they are genuinely part of our team. It is moving and makes me proud to work for my employer. These are really talented and hard working folks too. So the only favor we are providing is insisting on treating effective employees with appropriate dignity and inclusion.

So casually dismissing DEI is a bit tough for me to take. The devil is in the details.

DEI has become a boogeyman.

Many organizations are stepping back and focusing more on belongingness and acceptance of differences. I strongly favor this approach. We want every producing employee to feel a part of our culture and mission and do not tolerate 1% any demeaning or excluding of people due to race, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation. If they play by our rules and perform, they are part of the family.

Training that emphasizes these things is part of what we do. The military should do it too IMO.
