Has anyone seen The Rock recently.

[Zues1]

I'll donate a five gallon bucket of orange paint to who ever will repaint the rock everytime it gets rainbowed.

Folks, can we please just enjoy the moment of success that Tennessee baseball is presently enjoying?

The Rock should be free from any political ideology or open to all. Bet the later is not true.

 

[LookinUp]

I thought the rock was a sports rock, not a political rock.

It's now an ungodly rock.

 

[StarRaider]

It’s a rock for painting, not for looking at.

Where's a mod when you need them? Move this BS to the political forum. But before that happens....looks like some on here only believe in free speech when they approve of the opinions.

In the meantime, there’s a new Rock in town:

That’s a two way street bub

Here is a photo of the rock from 1994

I've got no problem with the rainbow flag, and no problem painting over it with a CWS theme, and then THAT getting painted over with another rainbow flag, and so on......

It's The Rock. It's a public forum. I don't get why some folks are all riled up.

I think last weekends paint job had to be painted over because the flag got updated again. Wasn’t inclusive enough.

Just from a purely objective standpoint that is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. It looks like a 5th grader created it using the paint function on windows 95

It certainly is. No disagreement here bub.

It’s a platform for ALL students to express their message, regardless of what that may be.

That being said, we need some baseball fans to get down there ASAP and get that thing painted to show our support for the OmaVols

And before I get attacked, some might remember that Ertel and I did quite a few paintings of that thing for recruits back in the day.

Thanks, good history I was not aware. Shame that politics and sports argue about how it should be painted. Sports is unifying but today's politics is sadly divisive.

 

[VolBallGuy]

I am now an independent because I think both sides of the aisle need to get their $hit together.

 

[JohnWardForever]

i get it was pride weekend the same time as the LSU series or whatever, but I think making the CWS is more worthy of the rock than rainbows that you can find on literally every other business pandering

Bunch of Crap that the Basevols weren't the only thing on that Rock after making the CWS. Scuse me while I puke.

That would have made me vomit if I saw

 

[Impossible Girl]

It was Monday
Then a group complained because the pro baseball message was painted over their “Pride” message
Now it’s been painted over by another Pride message

So, the rock is woke?
Great.

The Rock needs to stay neutral and remain off the political scene.

Don't need to express political agendas like the Rainbow and BLM.

The university disagrees and is why they installed the cameras to monitor the rock. They now have a voluntary student gestapo to police what gets painted on it

I missed VN’s unmitigated homophobia. (No homo)
