These are the 4 things everyone points to. 2 here, 2 gone. Right in the middle. Reality suggests that the ability to see a bigger picture view helps one understand an entire issue.
Chief gone.
War chant gone.
3 in 1 still there.
Fighting Illini name still there.
Also, you can talk about this being a modern phenomenon but the compromise quote is generally attributed to Henry Clay, former rep and senator, whose prime was about 200 years ago. The problem is in modern times people on both sides of an issue generally lock themselves in their corners and never venture out. People don't talk anymore. Or if they do talk, they don't listen. Just because you or I feel one way doesn't mean it's impossible for someone else to feel another. It's okay to have perspective.
For the record, I didn't really care about the chief either way, nor do I care about this either way. I like sports for sports. I just want good people, who are good players, on good teams. All the other stuff is secondary.
Edit: As an add on, I always see people referring to the vocal minority. Just because they're in the minority doesn't mean they're wrong. See, United States of America vs Britain around the 1770s for reference.
