The Seminoles are the Seminoles. The NCAA has just declared that the name of a tribe is offensive to people.

Is it too much to ask that they ever realize the stupidity of their actions? Liberals, that is.

I hope that this gets a lot of play. I doubt it, but I can hope.

Were they doing something in regards to Seminoles that was deemed offensive? I mean like the Atlanta Braves' tomahawk chop that so many seem to dislike for some reason. Or did they have some simple minded looking mascot that was dressed like a Seminole and ran around like a buffoon? Because I just can't figure out how the name by itself is offensive.

"The Seminoles are the Seminoles. The NCAA has just declared that the name of a tribe is offensive to people.

Well said. It deserves repeating with minor tweak:

"The NCAA has just declared that the name of [any Indian] tribe is offensive to people. "
