Yesterday, there was a state championship in high school basketball, between the ABES of Lincoln High School(Tacoma), and the (SAXONS) of Ferris High school(Spokane). BTW the Abes defeated the Saxons, in a very close hard fought and enjoyable game.

yea but wait till they get a black waterboy then jesse and al will be on this like white on rice

[Urbane_Guerilla]

arent razorbacks white guys? and boilermakers, too, the guys who drink whiskey and beer down at the Slavic Hall?

[Tall_Texan]

The "Dunking Dagos" would have made their point a little better. Why didn't they name the team the "Caucasians"?

[JamesWilson]

LOL. Maybe we can sponsor the team with white jerseys that say "FreeRepublic.com."

Also, we should push for them to say to each other "You da MAN!"

[Dubya]

I LIKE IT TOO.

[blam]

LSU, "Ragin' Cajuns"

[in the Arena]

The Washington Senators...up until 1960 anyway...

[Labyrinthos]

Don't forget the Yankees and the Buckeneers,

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

As a white man I am not offended and I can't see why injuns don't feel the same. We've lost some great college team names.

"It puts people in our shoes, and then we can say, 'Now you know how it is, and now you can make a judgement.' "

You know he's right it does, and you know what, I don't mind it one bit.

How disappointed they must be that whites won't devolve into whining malcontent victims over this.

OK, FReepers, any other white-based mascots out there?

NFL:

As depicted by the color on helmets, the Oakland Raiders and the New England Patriots. By name or by the color of the field mascot, the Buffalo Bills, the Dallas Cowboys, the Minnesota Vikings.

Norsemen - N. Kentucky
Flying Dutchmen - Hope College, MI
Britons - Albion College
Highlanders (Scots tribe) - U Cal Riverside
Gaels - Iona

And the ultimate white man's mascot. From Emory & Henry College in Virginia, let's hear it for YOUR

WASPS!!!

[TomGuy]

You can bet, somewhere out there, are some liberals and ACLU attorneys scratching their heads, loosing sleep, and agonizing on how they can counter this and sue---somebody, anybody.

"Now, how long will it take for someone to claim that having a White mascot discriminates against "people of color"?"

Yup. Then we'll have to have quotas.

[LJLucido]

They can call themselves "the Crackers" for all I care.

I like it. If Nabisco sponsored a team, that would be a great name.

Another idea: A horn manufacturer could sponsor a team named the Honkies.

BTW, when we lived in Illinois my wife and I got a kick out of a popular ice cream named Whitey's. It was actually quite good!
