these folks have really made a good point ... the "outrage" over Indian mascots is a made-up racial grievance ...

I'm part Cherokee Indian and have NO PROBLEM watching the Kansas City "Chiefs" (except when we lose! LOL!) OR doing the "Tomahawk Chop" ... I also have NO PROBLEM with the Cleveland "Indians" ...

people need to be part of the solution instead of trying to create a "victim" mentatlity ... no one I know ever tried to oppress another after being "inspired" by a sports mascot ... simply ridiculous ...

Of course it is.

Tell that to the University of Marquette. They had to change their name about five years back from the Marquette Warriors to the Marquette Eagles.

Although "Eagles" is one of America's symbols of freedom, and I understand that, however, the point of my post is to see the political correctness gone too far.
