    Another thought......Jaguars has to go too.......Any black cat is too insinuating. Cat must at least be black and white. How about *ussies? Naw....then the cocks from USC would sue the NCAA.

    You know, when you really think about it, Political correctedness is nothing but a movement to make statements and words devoid of real definition. It's like a campaign against the use of proper nouns or something. Calling people white is racist. Calling people anything remotely indicating that they have a freaking race is racist, morons.

    Secondly, there's one gigantic overarching question about the motives surrounding the great offense these mascots offer. HOLY CRAP ARE YOU THAT FREAKING SENSITIVE? I would understand if some university had a naked lady mascot. Or a pedophile mascot. I would understand if the university deliberately sought to make an OBVIOUSLY offensive mascot. But holy ****. Did the New England Patriots get the explicit permission of John Adam, Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson to use that mascot? In the end, WHO GIVES A DAMN! It's a mascot, for christ's sake. Just how childish can these morons become? These guys just want what they want when they want it. This isn't based on any justifiable, or even sane reason. They just crave to have it there way.

    Hey, I know this is rambling, but this issue is so stupid it boggles the mind. We've got terrorists abroad, killing our guys, and we're worried about freaking MASCOTS? These *******s need to ****ing get a goddamned clue.

    What is it with the NCAA and these f-ing moves this off-season?

    Regulating media guide lengths? This crap?

    Who the hell is running this?

    Why does the NCAA concern themselves with mascots having to do with Native Americans? There's a bigger crime being perpetrated in the NCAA.

    The clueless idiots running the NCAA may have over stepped their authority with this latest idiotic example of PC BS.

    The FSU President has called 'em out and bascially said reverse the decision or see you in court. :thumb:

    I love the FSU President's statement:

    "Florida State University is stunned at the complete lack of appreciation for cultural diversity shown by the National Collegiate Athletic Association's executive committee, "

    Good job of throwing PC right back in their faces!!!:thumb:

    The name Sooners is for a group of lawbreakers - people who illegally snuck into the territory before the official start time of the land runs.

    As a native Oklahoman, I am offended that a major university in Oklahoma would have a mascot that is nothing more than a lawless thug. That gives all Oklahomans a bad name.

    I demand the NCAA ban the mascot Sooner by the University of Oklahoma!

    Ok, not really. Being an Oklahoma State fan, I think that OU having a thug for a mascot is quite appropriate.:grin:

    But the NCAA has opened up a can of worms.
