Wonder if Florida State will shorten its nickname to "Semin"......

[NonValueAdded]

Oh, come on now (so to speak). Wouldn't it be a hoot for the Seminole Tribe to file suit claiming violation of their right to expression as given through their permission to Florida State to use the name? It would have the PC supporters arguing against the people they were pretending to protect.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

The St. John's name Redmen had nothing at all to do with indians. (Think Orangemen of Syracuse.) However they did used to have an indian mascot.

Was just about to post this.

Wondering if PETA will start to lobby the political correct worshipers and call for a ban on animal nicknames.

[jtminton]

I'm sure that changing the names of the mascots will finally pull Native Americans out of the poverty stricken situations most of them find themselves in.

I stopped contributing to my alma mater after they changed the name of the school mascot for politically-correct reasons like this.

Looks like I'm going to start boycotting NCAA events now, too.

[WestTexasWend]

Next they'll ban Schwarzenegger from attending...

[duffthor]

Are the Communists going to be offended by the Cincinnati Reds now?

What about the farmers being offended by the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

I don't even want to think of Dr. Pierce's feelings regarding the University of Iowa mascot....that's just offensive to TV Korean War doctors everywhere...

Wonder if Florida State will shorten its nickname to "Semin"......

We used to refer to them as the Semi-holes of Half Ass U.

[DuckFan4ever]

What a bunch of knee-jerk politically correct morons.

[Kokojmudd]

Will they allow an Indian mascot to appear in suit and tie?

[BlueNgold]

As a voting member of the Choctaw nation (seriously) I would like to formally lodge a protest against the NCAA for forcing schools to abandon mascots who personify the proud heritage of native people. Seeking to pacify a few in the name of political correctness they are actually further repressing an honorable link to the history and remembrance of a proud people who have already been marginalized by public actions and policies.

As the saying goes: Thanks for nothing.

[Kryptonite]

I wonder if Syracuse will have to wear white uniforms, instead of orange?

[auboy]

The NCAA's mascot should be the PCBirdbrains.

Florida State University thanks Seminoles for historic vote of support....

"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. :)

[AmishDude]

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.

[Kokojmudd]

Does this count as hostile and abusive?

[mak5]

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?

[End Times Sentinel]

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?
