Central Michigan University Chippewas Mascot vs NCAA

"... Saginaw Chippewa Tribe calls policy 'unacceptable'
Thursday, August 11, 2005

A spokesperson for the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan said the NCAA's new policy on Indian mascots is "unacceptable."
The tribe supports Central Michigan Life's "Chippewas" nickname. The school eliminated its "Chippewas" mascot but kept the name out of concern for the tribe.
School officials said they will ask the NCAA for clarification on the policy towards "hostile and abusive" mascots.
"It shows disrespect to the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe," the director of broadcast media relations told Central Michigan Life. ..."

NCAA approved CMU's use of Chippewas

So "the Fighting Irish," complete with leprechaun

mascot is fine, but the Chippewas is off-limits?

How about changing to one of these:

1)The Drunken Scots

2)The Illegitimate B*stards

3)The Pus-Encrusted Pot Pies (eating at KFC helps for the visualization there)

4)The Dancing Nancies

5)The Gangrenous Toes

All of these could strike fear in a segment of the population without being abusive.

Yeah I ve always thought

that the leprechaun was rather non manly. But seeing as its a fictional character I guess it is non offensive. Maybe the Shamecocks should change their mascot to something fictional as well. The South Carolina Scholar Atheletes. ....or the SC BCS Bowl Bids.

Isn't it strange that the website is "indianz.com"?

Shouldn't it be "nativeamericanz.com"? Double standard I guess.
