I get it, I just don't like it. I assume they were hoping to advertise the spirit of competition? But... it pretty much sucks. Funny that Wikipedia already has the OLN name change as a listing for it. You're correct. I read an article about this a while ago and OLN is changing its name because of the shift from Outdoor oriented programming to competitive programming in the realm of Man versus Man (eg - hockey), Man versus Animal (eg - PBR), Man versus Nature (eg - America's Cup), Man versus sanity (eg - Ironman). Okay, that last one was mine. I don't really care for the new name. It doesn't really capture their true identity. I would much rather have preferred 'Niche'. |
