Now Who's Un-PC?

The NCAA recently announced that all collegiate athletes must wear diapers on game day... wait... er, no, that's not it. They recently announced that they would ban certain colleges from competing in their tournaments, as long as those colleges continue to use nicknames and logos that are "offensive" to injuns... er, Native Americans. Among the offending schools is Florida State University, who use the nickname "Seminoles." Apparently, though, the Seminole Nation isn't as sensitive as they should be, because they've given their blessing to the university. Hear that, you NCAA jackasses? Even the SEMINOLE PEOPLE don't mind it. Also on the list is any school whose nickname is "Warriors." Now who's the racist? The people who want to have a cool sounding basketball mascot name, or the people who just naturally assume that the word "warrior" has a meaning that exclusively connotes the Native American people group? To me, it'd obviously be the latter, but I guess that's just me. "Warrior" doesn't mean "Indian," you retards. "Warrior" means "one who is warlike." And how 'bout this one: Oklahoma students can wear stuff that says either "Oklahoma" or "Sooner." Only, does anybody know what these words actually mean? A "sooner" was a person who took land away from Native Americans before it was recognized by the US government as being legal to do so. In other words, they took the land sooner than they should have. Yeah, that's a really nice name. At least the mouth-breathing jackasses at NCAA headquarters think so (which, by the way, is in Indiana, which means "land of the Indian." Yeah, that's nice and PC.) Oklahoma is a Chocktaw word meaning "red-skinned man." Quite a sensitive term, wouldn't you say? The NCAA needs to pull their thumbs out of their butts and realize that they aren't fit to plan a trip to the drugstore, let alone the entire schedule of major collegiate sporting events.

Um, no thanks, zqct4gezy26mtpx (if that is your real name). I think I'll be just fine with some booze and some Lucky Charms. That'll clear the ol' blues away.
