Probably the dumbest name change made in the name of political correctness was Marquette University - going from the Warriors to the Golden Eagles. If they simply kept the name Warriors and dropped the Indian symbolism, it probably would not have offended those who are so easily offended.

If they simply kept the name...and dropped the Indian symbolism... In this case as well, especially inasmuch as "Red Raider" originally referred first to Vikings and then to marauding pirates. I'd never heard of an Indian reference before this one.
