If Indians don’t like it they can always go back to Asia.

This bill puts the school at loggerheads with the NCAA, so now everyone will see if the NCAA expels them, or caves and lets them keep their mascot, or tries some meeching half measure, like forbidding them from displaying or referring to their mascot during athletic events. That is, you may have to keep it, but you can’t use it.

The NCAA (ironically headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana) are going to be upset.

The only people upset buy these nicknames are the liberal, white crackers. It doesn’t bother any of the Indians that I know. They wear a lot of these logos on their hats and jackets.

Who got their panties in a wad over this? I’ve heard for years the American Indians never had a problem with it.

On this Selection Sunday it’s another timely opportunity to point out that the NCAA long ago exceeded their charter in letter and spirit. They are (and should be) an organizing and sanctioning body for leagues and/or championships but absolute power has had its usual corrupting influence and they now fancy themselves righters of societal wrongs including (gasp) logos and nicknames.
An organization made up of so-called educators was always going to be on the vanguard of the PC movement and they never fail to disappoint.

It’s been about ten years since Seattle University changed their team name from Chieftans to Redhawks - I don’t know what was offensive about the first one.

But lets make Notre Dame get rid of that Fighting Irish nickname and that insulting little mascot.
On the behalf of my G-G grandfather who came from Ireland, I have a right to be offended -- especially if I can make some money from being offended.
And if you don't like it, then put you're dukes up.

I was really hoping the Fighting Whiteys had a chance if the name was going to be changed.

Yet Florida State keeps the Seminole name. Could it be all the sales of Fl State gear that the NCAA gets a cut of?
