NFL Team Mascots Changes?

What about the Vulcans in Star Trek? They are very offended by the use of the name for a mascot by the humans, but just show no emotion about it! LOL

Hahahahaha...I'm sure there will be a group of pissed off journalists and "social justice warriors" that will be happy to demand the name change FOR them...JUST LIKE WITH THE REDSKINS!!!

WRONG! Vulcan is associated with oil based products and as we know, oil is evil and the destroyer of worlds. Every mention of anything associated with oil must be eradicated. Sorry but the Vulcan's will just have to come up with another nickname!!

Here's an article on the relationship FSU has with the Seminole Tribe of Florida

Good article on what seems to be a mutually beneficial arrangement. Also confirms the scholarship program that is an amazing opportunity for college age tribal members.

????? Chosen by students in the 30s at the then teachers college specializing in INDUSTRIAL ARTS so the connection to the blacksmith of the gods. Incidentally, also the husband of VENUS, which isn't too shabby for an ugly cuss, though when she cheated on him the ROMANS paid a big price because he freaked out at his hearth in MT ETNA.

Well as long as there's no group standing up for ROMAN GODS my VULCANS should be OK.....for now.

Very true.

The case of the SEMINOLES, the tribe not the FB team, is IMO unique. They are a small, around 2,000, tribe spread throughout 6 reservations in Fla. They seem, from my very uneducated eye, to have themselves in a comfortable position. I don't know what agreement they have with FSU but I think I've heard that they don't have an issue with the use of the mascot. I would like to know if they are compensated in any way. It would seem at the very least that a full ride for any tribe member who applies and qualifies would be a good start. Anyone have any info ?

Word on the street is the Kansas City Chiefs will drop the 'i' and just go with Chefs. They will keep the Tomahawk Chop, but rename it the Pork Chop. The current helmet logo will keep the 'KC' but replace the arrowhead with a Fedex style arrow. Fans who used to wear war paint can now paint their faces with tailgate BBQ sauce.

Quite true, but they didn't change their name like YVCC did. There is also Florida State too.

Very true.

So..... I got a call today from a friend who is a big time UNC Tar Heel fan, alumni, and booster. He's typically pretty liberal and had been in support of some recent changes that have been happening recently, that is until he found out this morning that his beloved 'Tar Heels' name is offensive to a small percentage of people, and may have to be removed and replaced. He went into a very angry rant about how he's sure that at least 98% of his fellow alumni and fans don't in any way want to see 'Tar Heels' done away with. He said he's now in favor of seeing the PC Police completely defunded.

D2 SFU is changing from The Clan as of the 3rd. Simon Frasier was a Scottish explorer which led to the name for the school, which refers to the Gaelic word. Many athletes think of it as the KKK instead of Scottish clans so it is being changed. I have Scottish heritage which is confirmed in genealogy that an aunt of mine did and am embarrassed that such a historic word about family has been corrupted. I just hope it doesn't become a campaign against Scottish people as a whole with our clan heritages.

University of Utah has something similar, albeit "Utes" is just the name of the tribe - to my knowledge.

Redskins to my knowledge has nothing to do with any tribe specifically but is only a racial slur

[SW_Mustang]

Yes. It's a racial slur not directed towards a specific tribe.

I think we all understand that.

That is true to my knowledge as well. It's just a general slur - not targeted at any specific geographical location.

The Cincinnati Saltines is a nice middle ground.
