Agreed.

This reminds me of a nearby college (my schools rival) having to change their name. They are called the fighting sioux and have a picture of an indians head as their logo. Some jackass native americans with nothing better to do somehow convinced the board it was racist and now they have to change the name and all 3000+ logo at the ralph englestad arena...

This would not be happening if ralph was alive. =/ They tried doing that in I think 2000 when he was building the arena and he told them to go ahead if they didn't want a brand new shiny arena. That's another thing I think is funny about that arena. It's nicer than most professional arenas lol. He spent so much money on it.. he's probably rolling over in his grave right now.

Yeah, you don't see Celtic people, or people from Norway getting pissed off about our sport team names do you? I hate the new way that people are trying to be "Politically Correct." It makes the differences we have into stronger separations when we feel that something can't people said, or done because it COULD offend someone.

Like the rebel flag. People say it is racist and that is bullshit. How many people fought and died under that battle flag? How many people both black and white fought and died under that war banner? Is it right to ignore certain parts of the past just because it makes some people uncomfortable? Fuck no it ain't. That flag, which was never an official flag of the confederacy mind you, just a battle flag, is representing of the great struggle our country went through in its infancy, not representative of slavery. The only protest I have every attended was when they took down the Rebel at the Battle Field museum in my town. It is a civil war battle site for fucks sake! I could rant about this for ever, but I'll stop now.
