What America Wants
The NCAA has now banned any teams with "hostile names" from the post season. This is mostly referring to "Indian names"
Why is this offensive?
When you name a team after something isn't that a sign of honor?
Would you name yourself after something to make fun of it?
Don't you wish you could be as mighty and honorable as your mascot?
Do most Native American's care? NO THEY DON"T...at least 85% do not.
So this is just another area that the liberal PC crowd has decided to stick their noses in.
The vast majority of people see it is honorable, and love the names of their schools.
But in come the hippie lawyers and the do-nothing libs to take away one more thing the majority of American's care about and enjoy....Protecting the feeling of the few while sacrificing the enjoyment and love of the majority
When Marquette University changed their name from Warriors to Golden Eagles, they did it because ONE Native American complained.
So, should we change EVERY mascot that represents any group?
Then we will have to get rid of Fighting Irish for starters.

What kind of Indians are you talking about, the ones with the dots on their heads or the ones who carry tomahawks?
once again joe...your level of intelligence is way to high for me...
this story is everywhere...yet I hear crickets...
While I think it's despicable that the PC culture in America has gone way overboard, again. I find that every story like this is met with the exact same crickets. The public apathy has allowed actions like these to become the status quo. People say to themselves "there they go again" and then turn on the next episode of Survivor.
The NCAA picked the exact right time to do this and I am afraid the limited outcry will justify their decision.
How about a list of possible PC nicknames.....
The Dean Screams
The Kennedy Scubas.
The Clinton Cigars
The NARAL Trojans
The PETA Tofus
The Durbin Apologies
The Air America Bandits
The Jackson Rainbows
This is too easy.
Does anyone know that this happened because TWO Native Americans complained...TWO
This is the story that the average American says, "Wait a minute" this is bullshit...but like Joe said, it is too late by this point.
The feel good, do-nothing PC losers have already marked another notch on their belt. They have taken away another aspect of society that really no one had a problem with.
I wasn't paying attention so I don't know the topic or anything, but I heard Rush say something earlier this week about Indianapolis, a city named after Indians, being the home base for the NCAA. Kind of ironic.
Will the NCAA relocate its headquarters because the city's name is "hostile" and "abusive"?
This whole PC thing is ridiculous.
Marquette will always be the Warriors to me. The Native American mascot was not disrespectful in any way.
Fighting Irish is a much more offensive image than a proud warrior. Why doesn't the NCAA have a problem with that?
They know Notre Dame alumni would have a fit if they messed with their nickname.
I thought MU should have chosen "the Arrogant French" as their new name. Fr. Marquette was French and Fr. Wild is arrogant.
The NCAA's selective outrage is so lame. Where will this end?
The Marquette Oprahs.
the marquette gold was the ultimate PC nickname...I bet the libs on the board thought it was great...if I have more time tonight I will post the most PC nicknames of all time
This story is more important than you think...the PC crowd makes it so that no one ever says what they think.
No real issues can ever be solved if the PC crowd demands that speech and thought that might offend one person can not be uttered.
People can't talk about race issue, people can't be called fat (even if they are, and maybe if they were told there were fat enough they might want to stop eating so much)...no one can be offended..
So this country lives in the vanilla middle...no real thought or creativity...that is where we stand...
Team names approved by the ACLU:
Milwaukee Muslims
Indianapolis Islams
Alabama Abortion doctors
San Francisco same sex marriages
Tulane two-daddies
New Mexico N-words (can only be said by black people)
Detroit RU-487's
Atlanta didn't inhalers
Provenance protestors
Flint flip floppers
Also realize that it is only minority names that are being targeted...and they are usually being targeted by liberals with white guilt...in my post I showed that 85% of Native Americans don't care, but because 15% do we have to take away the rights of the 85%...so here come some hippies who graduated from Berkley in 1970 who say this is outrageous...they find 2 guys who think Indian names are offensive, and instantly the names have to be banned...even though millions upon millions adore the names and wear the mascots with pride on shirts, hats, jerseys...
Well, lets just name all teams after white groups...then the ACLU can say that everyone is racist for not having mascots of minority origin...
what sweat irony that would be...
