What will turn the tide of PCness? A victory for Indian-named sports teams? It would be a step in the right direction.

[dfwgator]

This Gator says "Go Noles!"

NCAA = National Communist Athletic Association

[Gwaihir]

Isn't the team name sanctioned by the Seminole tribe?

[TommyDale]

PC run amok.

[yeetch!]

Seems that the PC crowd is reduced to defining "victims" who don't consider themselves victims. Good for the Seminoles.

[GaltMeister]

I wonder if the Native American movement would be happy if it was forbidden to ever mention them, their tribe names, or acknowledge that they ever existed, so then they could never be offended.

Maybe that is what is needed - bring any mention of an Indian tribe down to the same level as the N word, never say it.

"What will turn the tide of PCness? A victory for Indian-named sports teams?"

How about the universities do to the NCAA brainstems essentially what the individual union memberships did to the AFL-CIO?
*Fire* 'em.

"It would be a step in the right direction."

...it certainly would.

[Shaka]

The pc liberals have been trying this for years..looks like they finally got their wish...except we got a lot of Nole alumni who are lawyers and think we can beat this crap. This is ridiculous. We have permission from the Seminole tribe in Florida to use their name. This is bs.

[teacherwoes]

I'm waiting for a team to change its name to the Fighting Plankton

[Semper Paratus]

I guess Notre Dame's Leprechaun with an attitude is sill OK.

[speedy]

This argument has never been about Indians being upset over team names and logos. It's been about Liberals being upset on their behalf as they desperately search for another victim class.

[The South Texan]

Good and this Longhorn will now go out and by a Flordia State shit to wear to support their cause. Then I will burn it if my Horns play the 'Noles someday!

[TommyDale]

I think it's time to disband the NCAA. They have outlived their usefulness anyway.

[freebilly]

Personally I prefer The Fighting White Trash of Arkansas and the Aggravated WASPS of Connecticut....

[Bigun]

Florida State to sue NCAA over mascot-nickname rule

Good! I pray that they are successfully in all regards!

[rwilson99]

I think FSU should develop an honorary back up mascot just in case.

We can call him Knight.

He'll be a fat white guy in a bright red sweater.

He'll yell at a few referees.

Throw a few chairs... and at half time the pep squad can roll him out in a casket, face down of course, and tell NCAA President Miles Brand to "kiss his a**."

[RatRipper]

What next????? I am an Auburn fan. Are we disparaging tigers and eagles? These morons are supposed to be educated. Being chosen as a mascot is a sign of respect and admiration, not a slur. Do they think all the Joe 6-Packs across the country that patronize their sports events sympathize with their foolishness? They might as well speed up the process with a loaded gun because they are committing suicide.

[Mo1]

The NCAA decided today to ban schools using Native American names and symbols from hosting championship events

All schools???

[RAY]

NCAA = STUPID!

[JOE6PAK]

Wonder how much longer this guy has?

[inkling]

If one of these teams gets to an NCAA-sanctioned tornament, they should just place black patches over their uniform names/logos with the word "CENSORED" written on it. Or for the tournament, change their names to the "Orwells", "Censors", "Power-Mad Bureaucrats", "Word Police," etc. That would really piss off the PC crowd.

Someone else mentioned the "Utes" could just change the spelling to "Yoots"... Just draw attention to the NCAA's complete idiocy.
