The link is to comedian Jay Mohr on the NCAA's PC twitching and flopping. I don't generally give an flying flamingo about college sports, other than finding them a complete and utter waste of money that could be used on, say, education? But this practice in PC for no real reason just made me laugh when I thought of the new mascot for these teams.
It's Pat from Saturday Night Live. They would have to change the color of the mascot though. Pat is just far to caucasian. I think if they made it gray, they could call it PC Pat and no one could be offended.
The article is pretty amusing in spots:

The article is pretty amusing in spots:
Apparently the rich white men whose forefathers tried (and nearly succeeded) to commit genocide against the Seminole tribe of Florida now deem Florida State's Seminole logo "hostile and offensive." Come again?and
The student who rides Renegade, Chief Osceola's Appaloosa, through Florida State's stadium on game day, only earns that honor after studying the heritage of the tribe. The Seminole Nation is happy the university is using its name for its sports teams -- so much so that it actually designs the team's costuming and rigging. So what's the problem with using the name Seminole? Why are rich white men putting their noses in business that Native American Seminoles find honorable and fitting?It just makes you wonder what these people would do if they actually had something offensive to be offended by. I'm guessing stroke or coronary. Hopefully, a massive one, or both.
