Political Correctness has gone too far!
Advertisements [?]
Fuck PC! It's been hijacked by extremists and now it's being used to ban things that shouldn't be banned.

As an Irish man, I'm offended by the term Fighting Irish. I think the NCAA should force Notre Dame to change their name!

As a man of the west I'm offended by the Oklahoma State Cowboys blatant mocking of true cowboys. I demand OSU change their name!

As a Catholic I'm offended by the term Demon Deacons! I demand that Wake Forst change their name!

Redskins? I understand. That's offensive and I've heard many Native Americans are offended by the term.

Indians? Sure. I'm guessing most Native Americans are offended by the name.

But Utes? Seminoles? Illini? I don't understand. Both the Utes and Seminoles have the blessing of each tribe. In fact a member of the Ute nation had this to say about the Utah Utes:

Irene Cuch, a tribal leader at the Unitah and Ouray Indian Reservation located about four hours east of Salt Lake City, said the decision should be theirs.
"A non-Indian organization should not be the one to make the decision. This should come from tribal leaders," Cuch said.

I couldn't have said it any better, Cuch!

The NCAA has gone TOO far. Political correctness has gone too far!
