Renegades Behind the Name
March 8, 2009
The Las Vegas Renegades Football Team was born out of a combination of frustration and inspiration, and has grown to become a great team.
The dictionary defines Renegade as “an outlaw; a rebel; one who rejects a allegiance for another; a deserter”
The other definitions focus on the traiterous nature of a renegade, using words like deserter and disloyal.
What’s interesting about those definitions is that they focus on the group or organization that’s being left behind.
We see Renegades as visionaries, pioneers. Even the U.S. founding fathers were Renegades by definition— and sometimes Renegades are leaving the “wrong” side and preparing to do something great. Our definition of Renegades focuses on the group the individuals are moving towards, not away from.
Renegade– (noun) One who recognizes that there’s a better way, a clearer path towards righteousness, and ventures forward to seek out others who share their view. A pioneer and survivor.
Of the other definition we have only this to say. Let them think we are traitors. Let them think we are disloyal. Let them think we are deserters. Let hem mistake our youth and inexperience for weakness.
For it’s only them we’ve deserted. We’re strong, fast, and dedicated to the group we’ve found– the Vegas Renegades. While we are a young team, we’re a collection of experienced, strong players. We may be new, but we come ready to prove ourselves.
And we’re Renegades for life.
In closing, here’s the chorus from the Renegades theme song, “Renegade” by Eminem and Jay-Z
[Chorus: Eminem + Jay-Z]
[Em] RENEGADE! Never been afraid to say
what's on my mind at, any given time of day
Cause I'm a RENEGADE! Never been afraid to talk
about anything (ANYTHING) anything (ANYTHING), RENEGADE!
[Jay] Never been afraid to say
what's on my mind at, any given time of day
Cause I'm a {RENEGADE} Never been afraid to holler
about anything {anything?} Anything {ANYTHING!}
