One of my favorite bloggers had a post today about the NCAA's recent decision to ban college teams with Native American nicknames and/or mascots from post-season tournament play.
Like the Florida Seminoles and a whole bunch of other teams.
This, presumably, is because such references are offensive to Native Americans.
Why, then, is there a sign outside Red Mesa High School at Teec Nos Pos, Ariz. - in the heart of the Navajo Indian Reservation of northeastern Arizona - that proudly proclaims it "The Home of the Redskins?"
Time for the NCAA to get a get a grip and focus on real issues.
