Can't stand the term "War Room"

[Irv]

With the draft coming up, I hear the term "war room" a lot and think of heroes who have fought, been killed, or maimed in an actual war.  Overly politically correct?  Probably. But I wouldn't mind never hearing that again.

There's a lot of military expressions in football. "Aerial attack" comes to mind. So does that old Carlin routine.

Your indignation is duly noted.

How about Romper Room? And when teams make a pick they can say "Romper bomper stomper du, the Bills select Hal Jalikakik from Whatsamatta U"

Air Raid, Trenches..... The OP should stop watching football and quit TSW in protest.

Are you a war veteran? Or are you just guessing at what war veterans may be offended by?

As a long time player/couch I have been around the game my whole life and heard every term

 

there are lots of war terms in football and most I don’t mind but 1 I have stopped using over the years is referring to a hard fought game as going through a war

 

I do feel that we should respect our armed forces and not compare our game to an actual war

What about the card game “war”?

 

Where are we on that, Irv?

[Capco]

Considering how many military analogies that already exist in football, I think you're drawing a line for nothing.

I prefer "Strategery Room" myself.

"Gentlemen, you cant fight in here! This is the war room!!!" 

[Billsfanatixs]

Room of Futility, Room of Imminent Failure?

[4_kidd_4]

Russ Brandon’s broom closet?

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Combat center?

 

[Just Joshin']

This is a common term in business - seems like manufactured anger.

[Bing Bong]

It sounds cool
