I said 'Whoa no', William and Mary won't do now....
I hope the NCAA loses their @ss in countersuit. Maybe the Seminoles or the Illini are up to the task?
I'd settle for them banning that constant chanting. Cheeze does that grate on the nerves.
I think we ought to form a class action with people named William or Mary. How dare the university use their names without their permission.
The 'Fighting Sioux" at UND are still fighting...SSDD from the NCAA.
PC has hit Northeastern State University 'Redmen' in Tahlequah, OK, too. They are changing their logo/team name.
Tahlequah is the Capitol of the Cherokee Tribe.
As a peaceful Irishman, I'm offended by the term 'Fighting Irish." Do you think I can get the NCAA to ban that?
All of these Nazi tactics by the NCAA will certainly backfire. Here in Illinois, the school might be forced to remove the "Chief Illiniwek" as the official mascot, but I guarantee that "unofficial" displays of the Chief will skyrocket at games and elsewhere. I look for the NCAA to then try to dictate that schools must prevent fans from wearing the supposedly "offensive" mascot on their bodies at games, etc. (It wouldn't surprise me a bit.)
Keep your grubby paws off my leather drawers!
The logo exudes Manliness. something those NCAA weenies don't show!
The Seminole Indian Tribe officially and vigorously supported FSU, and that, apparently, was the clinching argument.
NCAA did not want to "upset" the Seminoles. OK to "upset" FSU students, graduates and faculty, but not the Tribe!
BTW, I am very pleased that the Seminoles did support FSU. NCAA was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off base on this one. IMHO!
I hope to live long enough to see this and all the other PC bullshit which is doing such severe damage to our great Nation well and truly dead and buried in the compost pile of history where it surely belongs!
The Sem. Nation in FL endorses FSU
Funny. I've never seen the University of xxxx 'Dweebs'.
Headline could read: "William and Mary show white feather to NCAA"
I'm surprised that the teams can even keep score anymore...
For what its worth, the WM president and his entire board of visitors are huge democrats.
Why are we honoring the absurd wishes of the American Indians? What claim to fame do they have? We've bettered their lives and any mention of the savage people their ancestors were should be seen as an undeserved complement.
I wonder what Thomas Jefferson would do.
