SO, just so we understand... you can't display the confederate flag because it HONORS the confederacy, and you can't have Indian names because it DENIGRATES them.
Hmmm....

Just wondering, has PETA objected yet to the use of animal names and mascots as degrading? (If not, they will.)

i fear you are 100% correct. they have already sued a few people for calling dogs/cats= "PETS". instead they want us to call them "ANIMAL COMPANIONS"!
FASCISTS & MORONS, all!

IF naming an NFL team the REDskins is A-OK (it is NOT, imVho.), then why not call a team the BLACKskins????
would that be A-OK, too????
i think everyone on FR knows the answer to that!
you would get SUED & probably tried for a "racially-motivated" HATE CRIME, too!

Why in the world is the NCAA even involved in this politically correct fiasco.
There evidently needs to be some changes in management as these guys are doing things other than watch dogging their schools.
Why in the world would these politically correct smug elitists morons want to involve themselves in a fight that only a few Indians really care about.

The Ute Tribal Council supports the U of Utah's Ute mascot, but the NCAA bans the usage in tournaments Exactly, and the Ute Tribe is furious about this.
Utah is named for the Ute Tribe!! Will we have to rename the damned state? What an absolute stinking load.

" Or did they have some simple minded looking mascot that was dressed like a Seminole and ran around like a buffoon?"
Good question. Chief Osceola is the Seminole mascot. Chief Osceola's attire is made by the Seminole tribe, and the performance on his horse " Renegade" includes galloping into the football field and throwing a spear into the Seminole insignia at midfield. He then stands at the north end zone for the remainder of the game. All completely approved by the Seminole tribe. I've never seen anything offensive about Osceola, I've always felt that his image was used with great respect.
