NCAA Bans Indian Mascot Usage During Postseason
2005-08-06
Political Correctness is a nasty, brutish virus that keeps on spreading. EFL.
Nicknames or mascots deemed "hostile or abusive" would not be allowed on team uniforms or other clothing beginning with any NCAA tournament after Feb. 1, said Harrison, the University of Hartford's president.
'Hostile and abusive' are defined how, and by whom?
Not by you or me. That's obvious.
"What each institution decides to do is really its own business" outside NCAA championship events, Harrison said.
If FSU gets to a bowl this year, substitute the Seminole with a large middle finger - works for me!
"What we are trying to say is that we find these mascots to be unacceptable for NCAA championship competition," he added.
There's that fuckin' word again! QED.
At least 18 schools have mascots the NCAA deem "hostile or abusive," including Florida State's Seminoles and Illinois' Illini. The full list of schools was not immediately released.
Although I'm not a graduate of any of these schools, I'm going to be sending e-mail telling these 'tards how ridiculous they look pulling this crap.
