UNfortunately, you are incorrect about this. the ncaa just moved their "injun names" fight to the courts.

we AIs wish they would just "SHUT UP".

the ONLY "sports mascot" name that offends Indians is "redskins". that is "a term of abuse", not unlike calling the team "the Washington Darkies". (wonder how long that "nickname" would last, even with Coach Gibbs saying that the team HONORS "the many contributions of Blacks???)

Sounds like YOU and the NAACP have more in common than you think chief...
