[QUOTE="IlliniJim20, post: 1326589, member: 10516"] Just the thought of this :mad: :tsk: How do you fight ignorance? Just because "you" (generic person not you specifically) are offended because [I]you[/I] think Fghting Illini is a Native American reference and therefore offensive, how can that be corrected? Fighting Illini should never be dropped. It is in reference to WWI veterans. To drop that name would be offensive and insulting the [B][I]them[/I][/B]. My fear is it will not matter. Those who are offended will scream loud enough to be heard? Love the back and forth by the way. Disagreements, but mostly respectful. [/QUOTE]
