Geroni"NO"?
08.08.05 (7:14 pm)   [edit]
This really really really really really REALLY pisses me off.
Hostile? Demeaning? Abusive? What has happend to this country? Fear. Fear of poor public image. Fear of legal action. Fear of being seen as a racist? The NCAA should reconsider this consideration. If they go through with this, the Washington Redskins will have to find a neutral, nonoffensive name and mascot.......how about the Washington...ummm.....Monuments?

I think I would rather be in school and cheer for the "Braves" than the MSU "Trojans" that name should be reconsidered.

Are the indians or "Native Americans" offended by the name redskins or is this just another Liberal mental disorder? What's next, McEwen Warriors to McEwen Warthogs.

What ever happened to team spirit and pride? When I was in high school I proudly wore the blue and gold and considered myself a North Side "INDIAN" and for two years was proud to be on the "WARRIOR" staff. I will forever be an "INDIAN" and a "WARRIOR" alumni. Now let the NCAA and the liberal democrats put that in their pipes and smoke it.

If I were to have a chance to talk with Mr. Wise, I would facetiously ask him if we (privelaged white sons) should just apologize to the native americans and pack up our things and head back to Europe. After reading that article i almost feel as if I am guilty for killing so many native people.Gosh, I feel so responsible.

I'm sure he has some good ideas for renaming the memphis city parks too.

I really just want to quote the inspirational speech from Team America....

It should be considered a compliment that Indians could have a mascot named after their race. Who else gets that distinction?There certainly aren't any mascots named "Caucasins." I don't get it. Because what if all states, and cities, named after Indians were changed? Then they would probably complain that we were trying to erase their history!
