Add to the fray of team names that offend some, there are also the FSU Seminoles. "Chief Osceola" (I may have the team's mascot's name wrong). I'm not sure, but he might not be be part of the pre-game festivities anymore. Tom Mueller ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap talk?

I just think a lot of people spend too much time looking for things to be offended by. If we all spent more time trying to accomplish things, and stop the serious problems, no one would have the time to be offended. Boy could I have fun. I'm German, Irish, Welsh, English, Cherokee, possibly Jewish, and if I look at where my ancestors came from, wow. Germany (as mixed as America), Ireland (the Vikings raped and pillaged there, thus the name (variations) Doyle-black Irish, because of the terrible things they did (my maiden name), England-Ireland-Wales were all raped and pillaged by the Moor's (not sure on spelling)(a very dark race). I say "down with political correctness", lets all like who we are. It is really sad things like has been mentioned has to be stopped, because some persons don't have enough to keep themselves busy. Lets not let them do these things to us. End of subject for me.
