It was named McKinley for political reasons. A ranger insisted on keeping the road to it named Denali.

I see nothing wrong with giving it back it’s real name. Only it gives Ubama a feather in his cap.

I never thought I’d agree with anything Bronco Bama did, but this is good. Everyone in Alaska calls it Denali.

I assume Palin supports this as well.

It’s still Mount McKinley.

Go to Alaska and it's Denali, and always has been Denali. They've never accepted Mt. McKinley and have been trying to get it changed for over 50 years.

He wanted Mount Obama, but he was afraid people would think it was named after Mooshelle

It is easier to rename a mountain than it is a football team.

Wait until they decide to change the name of Washington D.C. How could our nation’s capitol be named after a slave owner?

In times like this we learn that we are to ignore the foolish actions of “Presidents” and Supreme court justices.

We are a Christian nation, not a pagan nation, so we do not honor false gods.

YMMV

how is acknowledging a culture that was here before we were being against Christianity.....I was going to say something snappy and put you in your place but you just are not worth it for others looking at this post -—Christianity is about personnel belief not about forcing it on others. the attitude that this is a Christian nation is the same attitude that is playing out in the middle East by Isis. who are currently destroying any trace of cultures and there religion that they find.

there is nothing wrong about using native American names on maps. there is nothing anti Christian about it.

So how is it that NCAA came to this PC position? Who swings such a heavy club that they can break kneecaps at NCAA to get them to lean on small colleges like this?

There are several NAIA schools in Texas.

FDR changed the name of the Hoover Dam to "Boulder Dam" just to spite old Hoover .... and the name went back and forth as administrations came and went, so that renaming Hoover Dam became a change-of-administration regular event, sort of like prying all the "W's" off keyboards ....

Right now it's Hoover Dam, and well named since Hoover had a lot to do with its building, and was an engineer to boot.

Go ahead, elect me President and I'll give the 'Rats something to think about: I'll rename Tammany Hall, Thomas Nast Hall and the Hirschhorn Museum (named for a big 'Rat who basically bought a monument to himself sticking out onto the Mall, where it would be conspicuous), "Republican Modesty Museum", and Leavenworth Penitentiary to "Democrat Party Training Camp". I'd also put most of the officials of the Ohio and Florida 'Rat Parties inside it.

Maybe they'd get over this urge to rename things after themselves.
