That is stupid

Since people love their teams, obviously the “Indians” are loved not disrespected.

People always want something to complain about.

If I were an Indian, I would be pissed.

The PC apparatchiks are now saying that Indians are no longer admirable for their tenacity, fighting spirit, ingenuity - which is what one wants when one chooses a team name, isn’t it? (not counting the idiots at UC Santa Cruz....)

An alumnus of Berlin High School north of Milwaukee complained to the state Department of Public Instruction about the use of the nickname.

It takes only one whiner to overturn what thousands of fans want to keep?

And the name Wisconsin comes from the Chippewa Indians.

An ALUMNUS was bitching about the name but when that same alumnus was at the school, he/she did not throw a pc hissy fit...

Outstanding. One pc moron ruins tradition out of liberal guilt.

and from the AP, libtard bastion of Obama worship.

Kind of reminds me of the ‘idiotic’ PETA group demanding Fishkill NY change its name to anything other than a name that promotes the killing of fish.

Which may (or may not) be commendable, but for the Dutch that settled there, ‘Kill’ meant body of water, not slay, so, in essence, the PETA PFOOLS are against ‘honoring’ a place that keeps fish alive.

Since it’s Berlin City, it should be “Turks”

The crazy part of this is that the State of Wisconsin OWNS the tech schools and they OWN one named Indianhead Tech at Rice Lake, WI.

It just happened in my hometown of Menomonie, Wisconsin. We have been the Menomonie Indians mascot logo for the last 75-80 yrs or so. Then a couple of UW-Stout activists (commies) and a bunch of the libturd school teachers & administrators & liberal school board banned the use of “Indians”, and just within the last couple of weeks a new “mascot” logo (aka Mavericks or Mustangs -— Ooooo what daring ingenuity) has been chosen and the school is hyping this with Ohhhh so much enthusiasm & hype! Apparently the new logo & mascot will be unveiled in some garish, hyped display. Makes me wanna puke. Rat bastard liberals can never leave anything alone. I hate em with a passion.

Screw the Indians already.

Rename the team the Berlin “Germans”.
