That fund was for all children with cancer , no matter their color, ethnicity or religious background. All this recent activity against the legacy of Yawkey was started by John Henry who is a total hypocrite . One should study his life background in detail. Maybe we should also consider taking down the statue to Bill Russell at the Garden , because he also is a BIGTIME RACIST - Personal experience with Mr. Russell !!!!!! Bill Russell apologists , however , would defend him because of the racism he faced in his lifetime. WE HAVE HUGE PROBLEMS IN THIS "SOCIETY" ( look at the massacre in Florida) and we should begin to get our priorities in order !!!!!!!!!!! Joseph , were you alive to witness the life of Yawkey ??? I doubt it and I bet that you are petitioning Notre Dame to change their moniker !!!!!Guidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12663471019808019390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-13156446513360350402018-02-15T15:23:15.649-05:002018-02-15T15:23:15.649-05:00As a Blackman I wouldn’t mind that.

Lets not make it sound like BC is aggrandizing Tom Yawkey. The school is not.<br /><br />It is probably the most non-descript athletic facility in Power 5 sports.<br /><br />The statement in the post about the signage is bullshit. <br /><br />Marketing a name change to an acronym only draws more attention for the "resist" movement flunkies, who are the only ones who care about the name of the Athletic Center at Boston College.<br /><br />I think Boston College was ahead of the crybaby curve when it named the facility the Yawkey Athletics Center and not the Tom Yawkey Atheltics Center. Words matter don't they left wing culture warriors?<br /><br />If you have a problem with Boston College naming its athletics offices and players facility the Yawkey Athletic Center then you need to be put on the top of a watch list.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847627726401491567noreply@blogger.com
