All of this touchy feely politically correct bullshit is getting on my last
nerve. They should just flush the NCAA to the bottom of the sea and start
all over.

Executive Committee Chairman Walter Harrison, however, already has set the
NCAA's sights on details as small as the spear on a Seminoles helmet.
"An institution may adopt whatever mascots it wishes; that's an
institutional matter that involves their integrity and autonomy as an
institution," said Harrison, president of the University of Hartford, on a
conference call.
((((("But as a national association, we believe that mascots,
nicknames or images deemed hostile or abusive in terms of race, ethnicity
or
national origin should not be visible at the championship events that we
control.")))))
In that sentence right there....It makes "Fighting Irish" just as
offensive as "Braves"....I also think they should make South Carolina and
Jax State stop using the term "Gamecocks"....It's arggin' animal abuse to
fight chickens....and what about "Bengal Tigers"???? That's an endangered
species....I'm offended that they're not more sensitive to the concenrs
and feelings of animals and animal rights activists....JVWatts
