Girls are the BFA St. Albans Comets, and boys are the BFA St. Albans Bobwhites.
How is that at all inclusive?

I think of “woke” as inclusivity. It’s good to be inclusive.

Similarly:
"In 1945, the reigns of the program were handed over to, the soon to become legendary, Dario "Doc" Comi who coached the girls until 1973. Due to his successful record and the exciting style of play that teams exhibited under his direction, the girls' basketball teams soon became known as "Comi's Comets" and later, all the girls' teams at Bellows Free Academy, honored Comi by being dubbed Comets. During Comi's tenure as head coach, the BFA Comets won 14 state championships and amazingly, won 84 straight games from 1950 to 1955. The Comets had become recognized as one of the premier girls' basketball teams in the state of Vermont." — https://sites.google.com/a/maplerun.org/comet-basketball/history

If the boys teams at BFS St. Albans are the Bobwhites...shouldn't the girls teams be the Bettywhites? That's a team mascot I sure could support.
R.I.P. Betty White (1922-2021).

Who cares?

Fascinating. I always knew the story of Bob White, but had never heard this one.

How is it NOT all inclusive? What a weird question to ask.

I think of woke as a form of liberal white knighting. Good people don’t need to be told to be inclusive or want a cookie for it either.

Good people who are inclusive are woke though, in the best way.
Dadfart802 t1_j4231e5 wrote
Agreed but they wouldn’t call it woke though, just being a decent human

Why do we need to find a way to turn inclusivity into something to be ridiculed though?

This is the best suggestion I've seen here in a long time!

I’m ridiculing those that prize wokeness at the expense of common sense and those that look to be offended (like half of r/vermont)Wokeness as an industry should be ridiculed, inclusivity should not.

This seems like a facetious take

More often the fun of ridicule and “common sense” excuse are used to prevent change that is more kind to the marginalized.
How about focusing on normalizing inclusivity.

I owned Doc Comi’s house for a short time. The neighbors told me that he had vegetable gardens that were legendary!

Nonsensical is the word

Because Bob White was the name of a long time coach/AD there. They renamed their boys teams in honor of him.
