I’m tempted to change my name to Injun Joe.
Akron should be forced to forfeit....

““It’s an offensive term to the Native American population and, it’s disparaging to that community.”
I was a scalper back in college.
Screw them. Tired of all this PC crap. Had they tried making an intelligent argument, they might have gotten some credibility. But not with this behavior.
Wait just a minute. Real tigers are vicious and unfeeling, and have a long history of mauling and even killing people. And the Nazi German Tiger Tank killed more than a few Allied soldiers.
As I see it, the Akron Tigers are the ones who must be shunned. Their team name is repulsive.
“It’s an offensive term to the Native American population and, it’s disparaging to that community.”
so sport’s team want to call themselves something offensive...lefties are soo ridiculous.
the game will be played whether or not the other team shows up, regardless of their reason.
those are the rules.
of course, libtards believe the rules don’t apply to them... only those opposed to their ideology
If I was running a team in sports that got into trouble because some group did not think that having that mascot was respect full to a particular group. I would ask them if the thought child molesters would be insulted if I changed the mascot to Pedo bear. it is ridicules no team out there wants to be disrespectful of anything that gives them there mascot. the mascot is there totem.
Gee, are we missing a bet here? So much angst over the names of groups (sorry, I don’t compute ball games) but where are white Americans’ reparations for all of our forebears that the Indians murdered and scalped? In fact, they murdered some of my own in the Boston Massacre, (late 1700s I think)I am therefore a “victim”, right? Why aren’t we normal caucasion Americans screaming for reparations from the latter-day-named “native Americans” Do I need a sarc tag? Ok. /s
Maybe someone should sue the Akron team on behalf of all the tigers in the world. After all, it’s demeaning for humans to disparage those noble animals by using their name in such an insulting way.
Sure they are. Just like Elizabeth Warren and Ward Churchill.
The Akron Central School District has decided to take a stand against the name “Redskins,” by cancelling its non-league game with Lancaster.
Fine, they can just play with themselves instead.
Forfeit, the sun will still come up in the morning.
