[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1326355, member: 588522"] I for one am all for a spruce tree or keg mascot. As for losing the 3 in 1 next, I've been told multiple times its incomparable, therefore how can it be compared to Native American/Chief themes? Since the word Illinois was inspired/derived/directly taken from Native Americans, perhaps a total change in university nomenclature is due. The University of Inclusive Thoughts and Practices Localized Individuals. On a serious note, I dont like losing these things. But if it makes people feel less oppressed, then it should be supported. In this day and age it's easier to share opinions and a lot like something else, everyone has one. If it truly affects others negatively, I can give up seeing a guy dance around or listen to drums and brass instruments play music. As someone who is part of the majority, I dont necessary think it should be my decision whether or not something is racist. At the end of the day I dont care what music we play, what colors we use, what names we call our athletic teams or universities, I just want to see wins and national championships. [/QUOTE]
