This reminds me of the old thing about naming the D-1 basketball teams whose nicknames don't end in "s".
I might still be drunk.

Don't forget the "Red Storm" of St John's.
To take this too seriously, I agree with wanting certain names and/or traditions to go (e.g. using "Redskins" is akin to naming a team the N*****s), but people get way too riled up over small things. Fighting Sioux doesn't seem remotely offensive to me.

I agree, it can be offensive to some people, but tradition has to come into play as well. The perfect example is South Bend Community College and their Fighting Irish.....do you think they will change that if Irish groups are offended ?

Fighting Irish is no more/less offensive than Fighting Sioux. People just have thinner skin when they're constantly shit on. why do you think AC's so sensitive?

Not true. Look up why they were named the Redskins and get back to me.

I don't think it really matters why they were named that, unless there was a local tribal chieftain named Joe Redskin who they were honoring. And I think N*****s is overstating it...it's more like "Darkies" or something. Whether it was originally intended as an insult doesn't matter much.

Seems pretty hard core.
Hitler birthday party
On April 20 in 1986 and 1988, he hosted parties to celebrate Adolf Hitler's birthday[1] at his casino in Las Vegas which featured bartenders in T-shirts reading "Adolf Hitler — European tour 1939-45". Because of this, in 1989, the Nevada Gaming Commission fined Engelstad $1.5 million "for actions that damaged the reputation and image of Nevada's gaming industry." Engelstad apologized publicly for the parties, but the row was not to be his last controversial move.[2]
