I posted a lot of ‘Fightin’ Whites’ articles back then. It’s funny to me that this silliness has come back up.

Good! Let’s name our sports teams after other cultures and leave the whatever they want to be called to stew in their self made juice. What’s wrong with the Zulus or the Watusis or the Huns or Cossacks? The list is endless.

I DEMAND a personal apology for this one!! How dare they, how dare they!
To: real saxophonist
Miller said it simply doesn't make since to view American Indian-themed mascots as a negative. Sounds like the educational system in Greeley deserves more attention before focusing on stupid crap like political correctness.

Or how about “The Fighting Irish”, how dare they. If anything we should be “The Drinking Irish”!

White America’s tribute to the fighting spirit of Native Americans is considered de facto racist because, well, because whites are always assumed to have racist intentions.

Well, can’t name teams after historical figures, or races, nor animals (PETA).
The new statute will declare that all Teams must be named after viruses. Nobody likes them, so who’s to complain?

How ridiculous: we name our sports teams after things we ADMIRE! Braves, Warriors, Spartans, Redskins, etc.
These names evoke memories of power, honour, tenacity, strength, heroism,and tradition.
They are not insults, but honorifics.

I've always been pizzed about this sort of stuff. It's derogatory to us white guys!s
Phack' em! Make every mascot in the whole country white and let Jesse, Al and Louie's head explode when they decide that minority's aren't being represented properly.

They need a bill to prohibit politician’s from having buildings, airports and roads named after them. It’s an offense to humanity.
