The University of Oregon is one of those places that's a hot bed of agitation to erase all memory of the American Indian from the modern scene.

All this talk of inappropriate mascots coming, of course, from the Beavers.
To: Land_of_Lincoln_John
" . . . calls from faculty and student groups to cancel the game because the Fighting Illini have an American Indian mascot."That is SO September 10th!

I grew up in Pekin, Illinois.
The high school sports name was the Pekin Chinks.
They have since changed it to the Dragons.

Who could forget the Chinks. My high school mascot was the Big Reds. Still is.

My high school mascot was the Big Reds. Named for the chewing gun or the soda?

I wonder when Swedish-Americans are going to start protesting the Minnesota Vikings for portraying Swedes as savage brutes?
To: Cowboy Bob
Apparently there were a few Indians around when the Mormans came through.

Just wait until the PETA folks start complaining about the Ducks and Beavers.
