Fetch Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 http://www.startribune.com/letters/story/1491484.html The hypocrisy of the NCAA, academics and other limousine liberals seems to be lost on everyone. The Fighting Sioux logo is bad, but the Florida State University Seminole is good. The University of North Dakota has done so much more for the modern Sioux tribes than FSU has ever done for the remaining Seminoles. Scholarship programs, social support for tribes, medical programs, all directed at improving the lives of Sioux tribal members. The difference to the NCAA being that FSU is in the top three schools nationally for licensed product. This means hundreds of millions of dollars at risk if the NCAA terminates a double standard. The NCAA can't afford to irritate FSU. UND falls into a much different category: small school, no money, no money sport, out on the tundra. There is too much money at stake to justify not being hypocritical. Just for the record, my half-Celtic self-esteem has been taking a beating. Not by the "Fighting Irish" logo of Notre Dame, but by its pathetic performance. I really wish that a stronger team would adopt the moniker. Right now they couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag. I might indicate who they could possibly beat, but then I am sure I would insult some other easily offended group and this cycle would start all over again: "He called me a name..." I wish folks could find something really worthy of being upset about. JAY HUYCK, MAPLE GROVE Quote
