Florida State University has the Seminoles football team. The NCAA told them to get a new name until the real Seminole tribe intervened and said they like it just the way it is

The Seminoles have casinos so Seminole football is free advertising-— free name penetration

There's a mostly Eastern European crowd in Wisconsin who'd like to obliterate all knowledge that the state actually has Indians ~ real ones ~ in reservations ~ off reservations ~ walking around ~ running casinos ~ doing stuff.

It's really strange.

Kind of like forcing all those Eastern Europeans to add vowels to their names while shortening them to no more than 5 syllables.
