Because schools should have the freedom to choose whatever name they want because this falls under the 1st amendment Freedom of Speech.

"New York officials voted to stop the practice this week." That, in a nutshell, describes how messed up New York is. They would prefer names like Lambs, Opossums, Fawns and names similar to that. I can't say the other names that they would approve of because it would be removed.

We need police officers not cameras. Our city council has a defund the police mentality and it's showing. We used to see vehicle stops all the time. Rarely do you see them anymore. The police don't even respond to some calls anymore. We will soon be Portland unless we decide to vote for better optio

I wonder if anyone asked the regular indigenous folks how they feel? Random guess, 99% would say "Dude, I don't care...I got more important things to do." Only the 1% get time on the mainstream media to spark this fake outrage.

I agree with Toasty. It's all fake outrage. Indian tribes have all indicated that they are either honored or indifferent to the team names, so who wants to ban them?

We never won against the ranked teams. Now we made our head coach one the highest paid in the college.

Mizzou football fans and boosters need to make a decision. Are we as content as fans with the job Drinkwitz is doing. If winning 8, 9, or 10 wins a season is good enough, the keep giving Drinkwitz and his staff contract extensions.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.
