[QUOTE="TheFlyingIllini1317, post: 1326523, member: 60378"] Most Deadspin commenters are so self-righteous. They just pat themselves on the back, and say "Look how not racist I am", "I'm one of the good guys!" God forbid you have a contrary opinion you'll automatically be called a racist. A term that is too overused and water downs the value of it when it is actually needed. As a kid I loved Native Americans culture and learning about it in school, the fact the university had the chief as a symbol made me love the school even more. I find it hard to believe the clapping and music is racist. Does anyone do it not for the team and to make their race feel superior/degrade another culture? I doubt it. I have a feeling anything associated with native culture (rightly or wrongly) will automatically be deemed racist even though it clearly isn't. Common sense on these issues would be appreciated.
