I really don't get the 'Native American' point. We don't name our sports teams after them because we think think they were lazy drunks.

That goes for our attack helicopters too.

Patriots, Canuks, Whalers, Canadiens, Cleveland Browns (I'm not sure how that one works out but I'm still gonna be offended if I can). Buffalo Bills. I hope they copyright the White guy logo and market the image.

Are there any teams out there using a confederate soldier as a mascot? Were there?

If you find out about T-shirts, give me a ping and/or post a link. It will be worth seeing them in the dilemma of refusing the money or seeing this catch on!

Message to little Owl from Kimosabe--

go to school, stay off the firewater, work hard and don't look to big chief government to fix your problems for you.

LOL!

Partial suggestion for The Fighting Whities fight song:

We've white on our meat
We're light on our feet
We're loud
We're proud!
You hear?
FEAR!
Go Whitie! Go Whitie!

I think all white people (even if you're only 1/2 white) should get behind this squad 100%. If you live anywhere near the area that these games are being played then you should attend. This team could have the largest fanbase in the history of college intramural sports. I want a shirt!!

I always thought "Fighting Irish" sounded pretty good. We could have the "Conquering Caucasians" or "Awesome Anglos".

I would be proud to wear this jersey. Methinks they are teaching a lesson that they should learn.

A FIGHTING WHITE MAN

A weary marine following the battle for Saipan island in the South Pacific in 1944, a defeat so devastating to Japan that Prime Minister Tojo Hideki and his entire Cabinet resigned.
