Smile There is no such thing as the Lady Flyers anymore

This was dropped 15 years ago. All women's teams are the Flyers now.

... when I post kudos to the UD teams on Facebook — which has been happening a lot lately — I use "Lady Flyers" to distinguish them from the men.

Call it sexist if you want, but it saves space and makes communication easier.

Still wrong...

There are no "Lady Flyers"....period! Doing something wrong because it "saves space and makes things easier" is not an acceptable explanation.

The context of a message makes it clear 99.9% of the time whether you're talking about a men's or women's team.

Think!

To UACFlyer: Context OFTEN but not always makes clear which team I'm referring to. On this board, just about everyone would know to which team I was referring. On Facebook, that's not the case. I'll continue to err on the side of clear communication.

Thanks for agreeing to disagree with me!

Options...

Rather than knowingly using a name that is incorrect (Lady Flyers), for "clarity" couldn't you just say "Flyer women", "Flyer ladies", "UD women",...or other similar variations?

As a UD alumna, I consider myself a UD woman/Flyer woman, but I've never been a Flyer athlete or, as they called them in my era, Lady Flyer.

I think I'll stick to Lady Flyers to refer to UD athletes of the female persuasion.

did you just argue that "flyer women" and "flyer ladies" were better subs for "lady flyers?" I hope you see how ridiculous this is..

Why can't "Lady Flyers" be used alongside "Flyer Women" We have a new Logo but people still buy and wear gear with the Lockup UD, Marian Blue was replaced by royal blue but people still buy and display the old school blue. Using "Lady Flyer" May not be official but it is not disrespectful or incorrect.

It's a school's decision what it wants its teams to be called, e.g, bears, wildcats, zoomers, or whatever. It's not a fan "option".

UD has decided that the women's teams will be called the Flyers...all athletics teams will be called the Flyers.

That's it.

Note, you wrote Lady Flyers,...all caps, as in a proper name. Then you equated that to Flyer Women, again, all caps, as in a proper name. Now, it's close to ridiculous to debate a silly topic like this. But, Flyer Women (all caps) is not the same as Flyer women.

Call them anything you want, Lady Flyers, Flyer Ladies, Flyer Women, Flyer Girls.....it's not disrespectful.....but it is incorrect.

They are the Dayton Flyers.

I'm not sure the ladies on the basketball team care what they are called...as long as you call out to them from the seats at the arena during a game!

This year was so much fun to watch the ladies grow into a team and family! Let's fill the arena up early next year. The season tickets are cheep and will be going fast. Right now it is GA...how much longer will that last?

Wow, it's officially the off season for all Flyers, boys and girls.

I can't wait for the pendulum of this politically correctness BS to swing to the other side.
Hope it happens before I die....

Are we implying that the women who play sports for the University of Dayton are not Ladies? Why that is bosh and balderdash. I find them eminently refined and dignified.

In deference to the University I will refrain from acting as if "Lady" is part of their official name, but I will not stop calling them the lady Flyers.

Yes, they are the Dayton Flyers, and I'm proud to call them that as well as, only occasionally, Lady Flyers.
