Our women’s softball team is the Tigers.
Feb 21, 2021, 9:29 PM

And our women’s volleyball team is the Tigers.
But our women’s basketball team has always been the Lady Tigers.
Thinking through this logically, Lady Tigers is only used when there is also a men’s sport on campus. Since basketball is a men’s and women’s sport, the women are Lady Tigers. And since volleyball and softball don’t have a men’s team, they are the Tigers (not Lady Tigers).
BUT, our women’s soccer team is the Tigers, despite there being a men’s soccer team.
And now it seems that our women’s basketball team is now just the Tigers, and not the Lady Tigers.
Can someone please explain all of this to me? Does it have something to do with cis gender roles, women’s rights, and not wanting to force toxic masculinity on the women’s teams? I’m guessing that’s why Lady Tigers has fallen out of favor recently and all women’s sports are referred to as Tigers.
I don’t have a problem with it, just wondering because “I has the confuse.”

I think the real confuse for the coots is that their teams name is the Lady #####. Kinda strange.

In a few years, it won’t matter. All 107 sexes will be participating on the same teams.

Lander College was known as the Senators (now the Bearcats).
However, the women's teams were called the Lady Reps (Representatives).
No idea why.

I had a couple of friends who played soccer at Lander...

and I remember them mentioning that back in the mid 80's there was a campaign to change the mascot to the Lions but the proposal was voted down by the student body.
I think the whole Bearcats thing started around 2005. Again...no idea why.

Maybe they should change the women's teams nickname to the VP's.

My first thought is since the two basketball teams share the same court. Maybe that is why they have distinguishing names. Also, there is no men’s volleyball team or men’s softball team. So when discussing the basketball team there needed to be a distinguished name difference to know which team was being referred too

I have seen a lot of people push to eliminate “Lady” before a women’s team

That seems to be the case with our women's basketball team.

I just realized that there is no mention of the Lady Tigers on the Clemson women's basketball website, just Tigers.
