Talk:Hawaii Rainbow Warriors

I've renamed this page because I believe the name "Rainbow Warriors" better reflects the men's athletic program as a whole. 50% of the men's teams at the University of Hawaii have adopted the name "Rainbow Warriors," and using the name "UHM Warriors" seems to alienate the baseball team, who have retained the name "Rainbows." 青い(Aoi) 19:50, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Homophobic influence?
I find it interesting that this article (as well as University of Hawaii at Manoa) fails to mention homophobia as a seemingly important reason for the rejection of the rainbow as a team symbol. Though I do not know much about the history of "Rainbow Warrior" in the context of the University of Hawai‘i, it seems apparent that certain segments of society are unwilling to use the rainbow, a rather universal symbol, when it is also a symbol of the LGBT community. To not mention this in the article comes off as a glaring omission. If I knew more about the issue, I'd edit the article; instead, I'd love to see someone more knowledgeble flesh this out. :: Salvo (talk) 01:30, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

MERGE
I don't recall seeing another school with separate articles for their men's and women's teams, and I see no reason for it... GWFrog (talk) 20:20, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge Agreed 100%. Every other NCAA D-I school has one single page for an overall overview of their men's and women's teams. Ejgreen77 (talk) 00:11, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
