today's soapbox...

Here's one from Yahoo News on the NCAA's half-a**ed attempt to "deal" with the ongoing issue of offensive "Indian" team names/mascots - why these images aren't flat out banned by now is beyond me. BTW, maybe someone should tell Yahoo that "Indians" are from India, not exactly the right word to use to describe First Nations/Native Americans.

Check out the accompanying photo too. Can you imagine if this guy had dressed up in black face? Please someone explain the difference to me...

Here's a decent summation of my views on the subject:
