Dang injuns were racist.  But it's ok now to have a football team called The Redskins. Actually it is not. Almost all "Indian" named teams have changed their names. But the DC team gets a pass...because they are in DC. It is ok to have teams called the Fighting Irish, the Dutchmen, the Cowboys....etc.... |

I've always thought Notre Dame should hold a press conference, admit that there have been many complaints about the name. Then, announce that after long deliberations they have decided to do away with the negative stereotype associated with the old name, and that their new name would be, the "Drunkin' Irish." |

I'm 32 and heard and read both all my life. Could it be a little of both reasons ? From what I've heard, buffalo weren't exactly fierce - hunters would shoot hundreds out of a single herd from one shooting position About as fierce as shooting beef cattle in a herd Well, maybe they seem more fierce if you go after them with a spear.

I seriously doubt that post war plains tribes preferred buffalo hunting weapon was a spear - just ask General Custer
