Easily offended ban school pride
I think most people would agree that the NCAA's blanket ban on Indian mascots is a classic example of political correctness run amok (what possible offense could anyone take to names like Utes and Illini? Are they offended each time they look at a map of the United States?), but Goldstein digs a little deeper and finds that, generally, even Native Americans couldn't care less about the issue. In fact, more Native Americans enjoy the Atlanta Braves' infamous "Tomahawk Chop" than find it offensive.
Though, as stupid as the ban is, I'd say it's about time the Southeastern Oklahoma State Savages find a new mascot.
