A word generally not found in the PC Nazi lexicon. I'd be curious to know if any of the 900 who signed that on line petition, claiming they were "offended" had ever attended a sporting event at the school. Just like at DU with the ones who say they're "offended" by Denver Boone. I wonder how many of them ever go to sporting events. And if Boone's definitely consigned to the dustbin of history, how many of 'em will go to games then?


During the Chief Illiniwek debate, one self-identified NA female said the mere existence of Illiniwek hurt her grades. Ponder that for a moment, this babe is studying for her Rhetoric 101 mid term and gets a lower mark than she otherwise would have because of an athletic symbol? This is a plea for therapy, not a cogent argument against Chief Illiniwek. Now that the chief is gone, can we assume her grades picked up? Bosh.

Yep, it's pretty much all PC garbage. At least you guys got to keep the "Pioneers", naturally because that's not a tribal or racial name.

And yet, we have the Cleveland Indians with the most legitimately racist logo in sports, seemingly without significant complaint. Funny how that works.

Every time I think about the Indians I think about that a*shole Clinton throwing out the first pitch on opening day wearing a farm club cap that had a "c" and no indian. I swear, if I had owned that club, I would have said: "Mr. President, either wear a Cleveland Indians cap or we'll get Gary Coleman to do this."

Yeah, we're still the Pioneers. But when the poobahs are done, Pioneers will be represented by jackalopes or elk or something. And not a cartoon guy with a coonskin cap and a beard (created by Disney). My first meeting with Frank Serratore after he'd been hired at DU the subject of Dnever Boone came up. And he said: "That fa*got?" Frank wanted to butch the little guy up. LOL.

My high school (Lyme) in Upstate NY had the nickname Indians, and we were proud of it. While I was in school, there was a group of 5-10 people that wanted to change the name because they thought it was offensive. (A couple other schools changed their names as Sackets Harbor went from Indians to Patriots and Clifton-Fine changed to the Eagles from the Patriots.) So we did a referendum on changing the name and we voted by a 95-5% margin to keep it. (We have Native Americans in the district and they voted to keep it because they said they were honored to have that name.)

I do agree on the Wahoo logo looking offensive. I thought there was a survey by the club to ask if the fans would be upset with a logo change. Personally, they do need to get rid of it.
