The Expansionist

Seeing Red over Lunatic Political Correctness. The NCAA has decided, on its own nonexistent authority, to decree from on high that no college that participates in post-season play will be permitted to use American Indian mascot names or logos. How dare they?

The NCAA's executive committee decided this week the organization did not have the authority to bar Indian mascots by individual schools, committee chairman Walter Harrison said Friday.

Despite acknowledging that they have no authority they are simply asserting such authority anyway!

No one elected the executive committee of the NCAA to be censors of our national culture, and everyone who values freedom of speech should tell the NCAA to go f*ck itself.

Perhaps it's time to get rid of this corrupt and arrogant body entirely, to replace it with a group that knows that its job is to coordinate intercollegiate schedules and control drugs and bribery, not to tell people what to think. Who the hell do these stupid bastards think they are?

Every college in this country should tell the NCAA that what colleges choose to call their teams is their own business, not the NCAA's, and demand that the entire executive committee resign, or the colleges of the Nation will create a completely different organization to run intercollegiate sports and resign en masse from the NCAA.

(The current U.S. military death toll in Iraq, according to the website "Iraq Coalition Casualties", is 1,829.)
