Yes, and that other Indiana city named after a native 'merican. You know...Gary, Indiana.
the Deadskins! And I will defend to the death my right to hate them without regardless of their age, race, creed, color, sex, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, marital status, and socioeconomic status They are friggin Deadskins-- And that's all... 
I need to know!
Then there is High Dirt, Ind.
Everybody has missed an opportunity here. Schools should ask tribes to copyright some tribal symbol that would “sort of” represent the tribe, and be appropriate for a non-tribal sports team, then the school can extended lease the symbol, say for 50 years, for a set small fee paid in advance.
In effect, the school would pay the tribe for sports appropriate graphic design, for about the same price it would pay a graphic designer to craft a school mascot and logo.
This would totally neuter the arguments of the dumbasses, that such a symbol is “offensive” to the tribe that designed and is leasing it. And as a copyrighted work, anyone other than a licensed user who uses it has committed copyright infringement.
Agreed!
Perhaps the Deadskins should demand that Harry Reid change his name so as not to offend all the good guys named Harry.
I would suggest his new moniker be: “Federal Prison Inmate #1369-01-2014”.
Guess which image the NCAA declared racist?
I agree. Its time to stop this insane offense from one person dictating everything. One person might complain about a nativity scene and a city will have it removed. Never mind that 99% of those living in that city love the nativity scene. This is just an example, but I’m sick of tired of the minority rule.
Good for Scott Walker! He may not be exciting, but he sure is doing a heck of a job as governor of WI. Is he presidential material? Time will tell.
Wisconsin was derived from an Indian phrase meaning place of red rock. I am offended. lol
There are numerous Indian names of places in America. Indianapolis, Indiana is just the start. You would have to change the name of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Utah, along with many cities and town names.
Then the ACLU needs to go to work on places such as St. Louis, St. Paul, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, to cleanse those names of any religious reference.
I recognize and celebrate that point. (e.g. Washtenaw County.) The BSA of yore celebrated some of the better parts of American Indian cultures or at least the legends of same.
I just like to point out the hypocrisy of the home town names of the retarded NCAA.
Democrat LIEberals?
Scott Walker signs bill making it harder for individuals to sue, forcing mascot name changes.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
“In the same letter, Walker also pointed out that a previous law allowing a single complainer to instigate a review process and then a name change flouted the First Amendment rights of everybody else.”
One of FEW that actually ‘get it’ concerning this PC Crapola! :)
Ornithologists Greatly Miffed!
