SOme random thoughts not in response to any particular post...

Why is the NCAA including "Warriors" at all? It is most certainly NOT a native american term, people, or reference. Nearly every culture to have existed on the earth has had warriors. It is a job/function/position, not a racial or ethnic reference. Since I'm sure they had cooks, craftsmen, and farmers, the NCAA will have to ban those sorts of names too!

There is someone somewhere that is offended by just about everything. Guess we ought to lock ourselves in our houses and never tune into any media lest we be offended.

I think the NCAA should have focused on the use of specific native american references without the explicit permission of group being referenced.
