87. I'd like to say I was probably wrong in using the term PC.
I support political correctness. However I don't support extreme rulings like what we've seen with the NCAA. Whether you call it PC or not, it doesn't change how wrong it really is.

The entire post however is against the fact that white men are making choices that should be left up to the Native Americans themselves.

I'm all for telling college programs to change their names if the Native Americans feel it's offensive and hostile. However, I do not agree with white NCAA officials making that decision for them.

That's what angers me.
