Good for UND. I am obviously in full support of stopping the NCAA from dictating team mascots. That said, I am a realist and it's problably only a matter of time before it happens across the board. When it happens, I will be fine with it on ONE condition.... They ban ALL mascots that have any hint of race or ethnicity. They can start with the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
What's fair is fair guys and I am tired of the double standard in this great country that I served. So Native Americans can be offended but Irish Americans can't? You can't be white and be discriminated against?
I am part Irish and not even remotely close to being offended by Notre Dame's mascot. I don't think Native Americans should be either but that's their business I guess. My point is, the NCAA is diving into very shallow water here head first by singling out certain races and leaving others out. It's not right no matter how you slice it and quite frankly, it pisses me off.
