Racist Mascots
The NCAA is finally cracking down on the racist mascots that adorn teams. No teams may depict American Indians as mascots in future tournaments. This is one strong step forward, but there is still one mascot I am against, that isn't affected by this ban.
That is the Mascot of Notre Dame. The "Fighting Irish" indeed. A good 1/16th of my lineage is Irish, so the degredation of my people as being green, shamrock wearing, street brawlers is detestable. Down with Notre Dame, and get them to change their horrid, racist mascot to something non offensive.
I think they should be the Notre Dame Cuddly Kittens.
Everyone loves cuddly kitties.

cuddly kittens are adorable!
Did you know that the FSU Seminoles are the official team of the Seminole Nation?
ITS TRUE! ITS TRUE!
froyd - indeed, yes they are.
matt - ummm... its NCAA (national collegiate athletic association) that did the ban, not the NAACP (national association for the advancement of colored people).
hampton - that completely doesn't suprise me. Which is also why a subject like this needs to be taken up with each school, not just some blanket ban like this. Oh well.
that's what I meant
