I think it has been, in the past.

Currently it's All State and before that, AT&T.

The WLOCP might attract some interesting sponsors.  

Bacardi, etc.

Yeah but we all know the hot button issue of gun violence has taken that one off the table.

As far as actual fans of the teams involved, Longhorns have always simply called it "TX-OU" and I believe Sooner fans typically call it the same but in reverse order.  Nobody on UT Campus ever calls it "Red River Shootout" or "Rivalry" or "Showdown."  IMO, all of those seem pretty contrived.

I don't own a gun.  I've never lived in a house with a gun.  And yet I never correlated Red River Shootout with gun violence.  The next shooter who said he was inspired by it will be the first.

Anyway, I'm going to go watch John Wick 4 now

I'm not disagreeing at all with any of this.  It's silly.  And yet, years ago the sponsor-- whoever it was at the time-- decided they felt it was too controversial and dropped the "shootout" label.

Like most changes in the name of political correctness, it's pointless, stupid, and ineffective.  But here we are.

Its the classic "Abortions for some, little American flags for all!" from the Simpsons.

Its literally the least you can do, but it allows you to please both sides, while actually impacting nothing either way.  And as Disney can agree to, thats all any corporation can hope to do, because nothing but bad can come from taking any sort of stand either way.  Now Ill go enjoy a Bud Light
