Apparently, the University of Illinois succumbed to the PC crowd and will no longer been known as "The Fighting Illini"...
The Illini were a Tribe that got wiped out by another Tribe in the 1800's. It has been said that there are no surviving Tribe members left that could agree or disagree with the decision...Unlike the "Florida Seminoles", whose members say it's OK to use us as a Mascot!
A Jewish friend of mine told me he was asked by one of the PC Police..."how would you like it if a Team were nicknamed The JEWS?"...My friend said can you IMAGINE the crowd yelling...Give Me a J, Give Me an E, Give Me a W, Give Me an S!!!!!!!!......He said it would bring him to tears.......THE JOY OF IT!!!!!!!
should we form a Group to Protest the term "Fighting Irish" ???

As the Great American John Wayne once said when asked "Don't you feel bad that we took the Indians land away?" He replied, "Nah, they weren't doin' anything with it."

I guess no one cares about the Illini Tribe except the libs...("the offended ones')
