Indian Wars


It looks we're not done fighting the Injuns. The Cowboys at the NCAA have decided to ban all Indian nicknames and mascots from any post season play. Teams will have to cover their logos or come up with something new. All this in the name of getting rid of 'offensive' and 'inappropriate' nicknames etc. This is just another in a long line of happenings in this modern world that just don't make sense. College team nicknames and mascots are one of the few mainstream visible things left of our native americans. I say that there might be a few teams that should make a change and some already have, but by and large I think this practice is a good thing to remember the heritage of this land. After all, they were here first.
Now, this being said, I do have to say that the University of Utah would be one of the teams that definitely should make a change. Because, of course, anything about the U is offensive and inappropriate ;)
