Ohio Stadium nickname question: is "The Shoe" offensive to anyone?

Let's get back to the real point; this 'Shoe business. In my days on campus we always referred to it as the Horseshoe, or we would say that Ohio Stadium was shaped like a horseshoe. We said "do not" and "can not" "would not" and "should not."

It's millennials. They don't want to work. They whine about "student debt" as if they never thought about working in a GM plant for a summer to get enough money together to pay for a year of school. Do that four times and, viola! you've got a bachelor's and you're not up to your eyeballs in bills. But no,millenials want to blame banks and their parents. They're too lazy to speak whole words. I laugh out loud as they lol. I laugh my ass off as they rotflmao. Too lazy to say whole words, they want to reduce our language to anagrams and to that I say FUJIMO! And the TV shows they watch... you wouldn't catch my generation watching "reality TV." We had real shows with a a real script and actors who could breath life into their characters like the ones on Beverly Hilbiliies or Gilligan's Island and Petticoat Junction.

Where was I? Oh, yeah. Millennials, lazy ass millennials. That's who started all this 'Shoe shit. Where'd my beer get off to?

I've called it both for over 50 years now so it doesn't bother me either way, I guess now I mainly say "the Shoe". In Reflection I guess "the Horseshoe" sound more dignified.
you say potato and I say tomato.....
