		<description>AQ, you put a great deal of effort into refuting my little analogy. Fair enough, youmake some valid points. 

Yet you didn't bother refuting the POINT the analogy was meant to illustrate, which was merely the clearly stated line, "Not all Natives are honored by teams using names etc..."

You disregard AIM as "not speaking for all Natives" and suggest I presented them as the "be-all, end all" authority. When in fact, had you taken the time to examine the language I used, you would see that I made no such claim - I said it is not "entirely" true that "they" (as you put it) all support using tribal nicknames, andused AIM as one prominent example. I assumed that presenting just one major organization rejecting these nicknames would demonstrate that the entire Native community does not in fact support the use of tribal names - as your original article strongly implies (by suggesting that only white liberals oppose it - a claim you more directly make in the above rebuttal to me). That's just wrong: some prominent Natives do in fact oppose them. 

To TLW - Notre Dame was founded by Irish Catholics and they chose the "Fighting Irish" nickname themselves. Which schools with native nicknames were founded and continue to be governed by Natives?

See the difference?</description>

		<description>Well done AQ,this PC crap is sure getting old.If you look at it enough,everybody's a victim if they choose to be.If this guy wants an anology what about the "Fighting Irish"?It was originally not meant to be a compliment,rather a put down that ND embraced.The Irish have come to look at this with pride as do the Seminoles.Don't think the Irish were,"systematically opressed,slaughtered and cheated" my friend?Read your history,I'd call over a million  starved to death a bit shoddy in the treatment category by the British along with hundreds of years of opression.But they were all European so I guess that doesn't count.</description>
