Title: Fighting Sioux Post by: N.AL-Tider on March 01, 2012, 07:07:15 AM Should they be able to play while displaying the Fighting Sioux logo and nickname? (http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2012/02/29/ncaa-dont-bring-fighting-sioux-name-to-playoffs/?test=latestnews) Or should they have to remove all images of it in compliance with NCAA mandates? Thoughts?

I know the Seminole tribe fought to help Florida State keep their name and mascot. They think it honors their tribe.

I know the Seminole tribe fought to help Florida State keep their name and mascot. They think it honors their tribe. Apparently not. Just another incident showing how sickeningly PC our country is trying to be. http://www.sctimes.com/article/20120212/SPORTS04/102120023/DeLand-column-Sioux-singled-out-by-NCAA-s-hypocrisy Quote In a 2002 survey of American Indians conducted by Sports Illustrated, 81 percent of respondents said colleges and high schools shouldn’t be required to stop using Indian nicknames. And 83 percent said professional sports teams shouldn’t be required to stop using Indian nicknames. |
