NCAA ban on mascots

[Kelvin green]

I am an alumni of the University of Utah.

With the exception of the name UTES and two feathers that hang on the logo there are no references to the tribe. The tribe gives its permission and I if I recall right has royalties paid to them.

The mascot is a hawk...

FSU and UU (dont know about the others) have been extremely politically correct in working so that it is not offensive. Is the name Utah next since it is a Ute word?

I am in the Army and I am referred to a Chief...

I am extremely offended that the term "warrior" is one that people are offended by... I guess the US Army and some of us are NOW offensive as well.


The Soldier's Creed


I am an American Soldier.

I am a Warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States and live the Army Values.

I will always place the mission first.

I will never accept defeat.

I will never quit.

I will never leave a fallen comrade.

I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.

I am an expert and I am a professional.

I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.

I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

I am an American Soldier.


I agree that there are terms that ae offensive (Redskins) Can you see a professional football team called the (insert City) Black Guys but Aztecs is ok and Utes is not...

Oh well I am off my soap box.
