More Native American Mascot Babble

As graduates of the University of Illinois at its endless debates about the merits/racism of its Chief Illiniwek, we will confess complete exhuastion when it comes to Native American mascots/symbols. We don't really care what they do, we just want them to do it and stop talking about it. Sorry. It's a sore spot.

Anyway, journalists are now saying their papers/stations shouldn't acknowledge Native American nicknames. We will now refer to Cleveland as The Lads From The Place That Is Know To Do Some Rocking On ABC's Wednesday Nights.
