The "two minute warning" is now the "two minute timeout." Why?

Guessing it was called a 2 minute warning back when the game clock wasn't visible. There's no reason to call it a warning any more because everyone can see the clock.

Follow-up - If you're offended by calling it a timeout instead of a warning, there is no limit to your sensitivity. You are the most fragile snowflake of them all.

We should all be offended over people insisting on change in society in response to offenses and slights that are completely made up. Literally nothing was wrong with the old phrase.

NFL calls it the two minute warning.

NCAA calls it the two minute timeout.

Just another example of the NCAA going woke.

Is it a warning? Or is it a timeout?

alarms make black people feel unsafe. rebadging them helps us all.

It’s a commercials time out.

Apparently that offends OP.

How about explaining why YOU are offended by the two minute warning?

Why do you think someone was offended by it? There are other reasons things happen.

The purpose of the two minute warning in the NFL, decades ago, was to notify the teams that the game was nearly over. The referee was the only person with access to the official clock. The name, in the NFL, is outdated, since everyone can see the game clock and has been able to for decades.

In the NCAA, the two minute timeout was added this year. Its purpose is to provide an extra timeout, to give trailing teams a chance to come back.

The difference has nothing to do with people being offended. It is because the rules serve a different purpose.

I'm not. I don't care what it's called?

You're the one crying about it.

100$ on the name change having entirely nothing to do with it being offensive or politically incorrect

The term "two minute warning" is owned by the NFL.

The NCAA now has to use the "Two minute Timeout"
