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.

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?

will throw a 'yes' out there with this caveat...they have to start playing like what is expected of a top 20 team. Been to all the games so far, and it's just not there.

Besides being a perennial Tigers fan, I love a great underdog story. I think we turned the corner in the 2nd half of last week's less than stellar Homecoming game performance, and this could be the moment when our football team really gels and becomes a team-unit pulling as one team in the yoke!
