Yeh, Sammy has been doing backflips across the field before every game since I was there and I won’t say how long ago that was. I was doing the chop and chant and nobody had a problem with it. We never thought we were insulting the Indian nation.
There’s a couple more things this Gator fan would have him “blank”!
The 1868 Florida Constitution, developed by the Republican-dominated Reconstruction legislature, gave the Seminole one seat in the house and one seat in the senate of the state legislature. The Seminole never filled the positions. In 1885, after southern white Democrats had regained political power in the state, they passed a new constitution in 1885. It removed the seats for Seminole and established barriers to voter registration and electoral practices that essentially disfranchised most blacks and minorities.[95] This situation lasted until the passage of federal civil rights and voting legislation in the mid-1960s, which provided for the enforcement of citizens' constitutional rights.
