Hmm? Do I live in a "colonial" (noun) or a "colonial home" (adjective)? Or, maybe we could be the "the line" (not to be confused with a "Wichita lineman" which would be sexist but a tip of the hat to the late, great Glen Campbell). Second thought, forget it, QBs, RBs, etc. would think it meant only offensive and defensive linemen in football or a line in hockey. How about a depiction of a Crusader?

So does the CAA have to change it's name to the HAA?

Perhaps, members of Napoleon's 'Old Guard', who were the best of the best. And then there are the Irish Guards, who had a Jesuit priest as one of their most illustrious and honored members (wounded five times). The band and the pipes are playing their march tune, titled St. Patrick's Day. How great would it be for the HC band, with a few more members, escort the football team onto Fitton Field while playing St. Patrick's Day?

So does the CAA have to change it's name to the HAA? That would be funny....but as another poster noted Since hippos have killed so many (black) inhabitants of Africa one suspects the same delicate folks triggered by the word "Colonials" would be triggered by the word "Hippos". "Ungainly as it is, the hippopotamus is the world's deadliest large land mammal, killing an estimated 500 people per year in Africa. Hippos are aggressive creatures, and they have very sharp teeth." www.bbc.com/news/world-36320744Given that their school is named for a somewhat notorious slaveholder, isn't it a bit silly for any of the snowflakes at GW to be sweating the nonexistent "Colonials" issue. (I do recognize logic and historical knowledge are not the strengths of a PC crew.)
