"Marquette (from Warriors to Golden Eagles)."
Good gosh! Warriors is a tribute, and it's deemed offensive?!
I have some Irish in me, let me be the first to call for Notre Dame to change it's mascot! (Hit the NCAA where it counts, the wallet). Fighting Irish is certainly more offensive than Warrior!
Oh, and I wish they'd force my alma mater to change it's mascot. Zips. I'm offended by how stupid it is. :)

The "Fightin'" Irish is probably the most offensive of them all (the only thing that would make it worse is the "Drunken, Fightin'" Irish) and they seem to accept it just fine. In fact, rumor has it that a few Irishmen (is that PC? I know "Chinaman" is.) founded the school. But that's probably just an urban legend.

Does this count as hostile and abusive?

So, in order to avoid offending anyone, we shouldn't be seeing the "Vikings", "Norsemen", "Sooners", "Orangemen", "Saints", "Demon Deacons", "Cornhuskers", "Fighting Irish" or anything of the like, should we?

Oops, I just found out from an Englishman that Chinaman is definitely not PC. I should tell my fellow Amishmen.

This is a good idea, because I can't think of anything more offensive, shameful, and embarrasing than being a Native American. Or is that not their point?

East High School in Rochester, New York, is the Orientals. East Orientals.

What about the farmers being offended by the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Or Scandanavians being offended by the Minnesota Vikings? Do you think the PC thought police will pay any attention to that? I am convinced they won't.

Hey... watch it! You've got FSU alum on this here thread. I voice my protest against this, but I'll admit that I'm not the first bit concerned that it's going to effect the team's gameplay. Oh darn... Now the Nole cheer squad will have to wear something that DOESN'T have a logo covering their chests. Shucks!

I am not totally against schools or pro sports teams using Native American related names or mascots. However, two things bother me. One is the name Washington Redskins, and the other is the logo for the Cleveland Indians.

Yeah, didn't it have to do with chewing tobacco? </joking>

Two possible solutions: First, if teams do change their names, during the postseason the student body could wear full headress in the stands. If teams decide to change their names, I suggest "The White Dominators." The PC crowd should love that.

Pretty soon they'll all have lousy, innocuous names like the Moorhead Spuds.

Indians would capture white women, rape them, and leave them for the squaws to take care off, now the squaws did not treat the white women nicely because they were jealous of all the attention they were getting from the men.
Just some indian history.
