Yes, I know I'm kicking up a dead thread, but I couldn't resist making the obvious comment no one did:

Quote:
I want to see a mockery of this policy by somebody who either has to get away with it or the NCAA make asses of themselves trying to stop them. Perhaps a Jewish college changing their team name to "The 'Brews" or "The Kikes" or a black college changing their team name to "The Niggers" or "The Coons". I would come up with one for whites, but whites aren't allowed to have colleges anymore.


Yeah! This is a great idea! I bet I can help - we Irish Catholics could probably get some church support. We could call ourselves the Fighting Irish or something!

Oh, wait...

Yeah, this was the stupidest thing the NCAA has ever done, and that's including the BCS. The 'Noles managed to weasel out of it, though... although I think they were simply throwing down, and saying that they'd keep the nickname even if the NCAA didn't back down.

This thread shall rise from the dead...again!

The University of North Dakota went for a second appeal after our president Cupchella got more support from American Indians, including those at the Standing Rock Reservation, who are predominately Sioux. Once again, the NCAA has denied our appeal. Big surprise there.

At the rate we're going, it looks like the NCAA is going to make a ruling stating that we can't have "Sioux" as our school's nickname anymore.

Where is the justice?

At this rate, it'll end up that every school in the country will have the mascot of "The Peaceful Unsuspicious Person of Ambiguous Identity", and even that won't be good enough.

Anyway, I'm not TOO worried about the Sioux naming issue. I'll be worried when PeTA starts stepping in and forcing schools to change animal mascots, unless they already have.

That burns me up. Every step these people take toward "sensitivity" is another step toward all of us talking in Newspeak ... or however they spelled it, in 1984.

We got to the last straw, and we will wait no longer: the state of North Dakota is suing the NCAA.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the way to go. It looks like legal action is the only way we can get the NCAA to listen.
