WASHINGTON — University of Maryland’s president is recommending a new name for the school’s stadium after its namesake has been accused of being racist.
On Monday, University of Maryland President Wallace D. Loh issued a statement recommending “Byrd Stadium” be changed to “Maryland Stadium.” The Board of Regents will consider the request at its Dec. 11 meeting.
If approved, the university will memorialize Harry Clifton “Curley” Byrd in one of the main libraries, Loh says. Also, he says the university will institute a five-year moratorium on changing honorific building names.

with everything that's going on in this country and the world, we're focusing on THIS?... REALLY?
Brown shirts implementing Moochelle's "Barack is going to change our history" statement - useful academic idiots spending other people's money for idiotic things, and then changing the rules so nobody else can.
here we go again , Byrd stadium , I guess we will have to change the name of birds also , black birds are racist , white doves are racist , zebras are black and white , boy are they in trouble.
I have a better idea I recommend replacing the president of the University of Maryland
He was " accused" of being racist. Accused but not guilty!! What the hell is wrong with you stupid idiotA !! There is nothing more racist than a black person or a democrat so you morons need to get out of here with that crap. I'm sick of you ignorant people caving into the PC cowards !

More liberal BS
Suggested future name:
Black Lives Matter Stadium
I recommend that we rename Wallace to Jerk and replace him.
Try it.
They don't matter.
What about a name that rhymes with Byrd and begins with T?
just another reason to root against the terps--go Duke
Abe Lincoln was a "Racist", read his speeches, and look at his plan for sending blacks back to Africa.
Why don't they go after him?
He even made a couple of black jokes the day of his assassination.
One had to do with all of the freed black bowing and kissing his hands. (kinda reminds me of when Obama was doing the same thing)
All of the founders of this country were "Racist", so what, it is history, you can't change it, you move on.
Obviously you don't understand sarcasm...
Every "Malcolm x" street needs to be renamed, and any statues of monuments of him demolished. He was an admitted racist.
Martin Luther King was a proven Whore-master, all streets, parks, and schools need to have his name removed too!
Scratch that school off the list for my kids.
You benefit from the man and don't want to acknowledge him? There is nothing worse I can say about someone than the fact that they are unthankful to their benefactor.
Want to rename it to spite the man I suggest you give the money back to his family and then look into the depths of your depraved souls and pick a name ....I could suggest a few but will refrain.
@10:19 Wor-wic is probably a good pick for them.
why does everything have to be renamed? nothing better to do?
