Texas University Ditches Come And Take It Phrase - Newstalk1290

For the last six years, the University of Texas at San Antonio athletics department has embraced the 'Come and Take It' phrase. A staff member in Athletics, turning to the historic Texas Revolutionary Battle of 1836 in Gonzales, Texas, felt the historical context around the Come and Take It phrase would offer an inspirational call for our fans and a direct challenge to our opponents. After the grand opening of a new athletics building in August, an online petition came out calling for the sign, flag, and phrase of 'Come and Take It' be removed because the phrase was an "Offensive slogan steeped in racist history".
