[NU Sports] No more Sweet Sioux Tomahawk

[Dennis W. Brandt]

> The NCAA is more or less a dictatorship.

No, they're just spineless and succumb to the most ungreased wheel.  They 
say nothing about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Wyoming Cowboys, 
Massachusetts Minutemen, Rambling Wrecks of Georgia Tech, Purdue 
Boilermakers, Oklahoma Sooners, Kansas Jayhawks, Texas Tech Red Raiders, USC 
Trojans, Vanderbilt Commadores, Tennessee Volunteers, Ole Miss Rebels, West 
Virginia Mountaineers, Syracuse Orangemen, Seton Hall Pirates, Rutgers 
Scarlet Knights, Providence Friars, Ohio Wesleyan Battling Bishops, Virginia 
Cavaliers, Robert Morris Colonials, Holy Cross Crusaders, Wake Forest Demon 
Deacons, Franklin and Marshall Diplomats, Central College Dutch, Lehigh 
Engineers, La Salle Explorers, UC Santa Barbara Gauchos, Washington and Lee 
Generals, Austin Peay Governors, Radford Highlanders, Brandeis Judges, 
Worcester State Lancers, Northern Arizona Lumberjacks, Yeshiva Maccabees, 
Navy Midshipmen, Old Dominion Monarchs, Mt. Aloysius Muleriders, St. Mary's 
Belles, Xavier Muskateers, Luther College Norse, Montana State Orediggers, 
Furman Paladins, George Mason Patriots, Portland Pilots, Widener Pioneers, 
Whittier College Poets, New Orleans Privateers, Washington and Jefferson 
Presidents, Penn Quakers, Louisiana at Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns, Loyola 
Ramblers, Marymount Saints, U of Alfred Saxons, Edinboro Scots, Davis and 
Elkins Senators, Washington College Shoremen, Michigan State Spartans, 
Hobart College Statesmen, North Carolina Tarheels, Portland State Vikings, 
Hawaii Warriors, Ithica College Bombers, Pacific Boxers, St. Bonaventure 
Bonnies, etc.  And while you're at it throw in the Boston Celtics, 
Philadelphia Phillies. Texas Rangers, Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles 
[Trolley] Dodgers, Kansas City Royals, and for our New York friends, the 
Met[ropolitan]s, Knick[erbocker]s, and Yankees.

Every one of these teams carries a mascot that identifies with a person or a 
group of persons, including ethnic and gender groups.  And I didn't even 
list the Indian mascots still in use.  I guess it's just a matter of time 
though.
