The satire writes itself sometimes.
OU’s undergraduate student congress met recently to discuss the phrase “boomer sooner.” It did not go well. Apparently there was a movement to get rid of the phrase altogether (a move fans of other teams would support, possibly financially). The reasons for the move are obscure.
Another representative proposed a hostile amendment to strike the phrase “boomer sooner” due to the controversy surrounding it, but the amendment was defeated by a hand vote.
Opponents of the resolution argued against it because of the controversy of the phrase “boomer sooner,” an issue brought to the forefront in September by student group Indigenize OU, which argued that the phrase contributes to the erasure of Native people and their history.
