Thank you. It is the tribal leaders who are being asked to meet with the University yet again to explain why it's not an honor to be mocked, not the students. It's mothers and dads, grandmas and grandpas, whose families need them.

You can't compare a living race/culture of human being to a turtle. I've never seen anyone complain about our Chicago Bears, or the fans dressing up like bears in the bleachers. It's all in good fun, and as far as I know - no real bears are offended or harmed due to drunken Bears fans. Don't you think Jews would be offended if Germany started up a team called the "Fighting Jews?" How would our Muslim community react if we started up a team called the "Radical Muslims?"

This may seem like a non-issue to people, but it's a form of psychological oppression that is not necessary in this country. Why is it necessary to mock a group of people who live in this country at sporting events? Aren't sporting events a way to get AWAY from the pressures of life?

I speak out on this "petty non-issue" to help my tribal friends who are dealing with more and more uranium and other carcinogens being dumped into their water supply and land. At the same time they are facing skyrocketing cancer rates, diabetes, suicides, and overall complete despair. In response, they are being told their healthcare is being reduced by 50%. Convicted criminals receive better healthcare in this country. They view this as yet another underhanded form of attempted genocide. We can spend billions of dollars for waging war and/or providing for other countries, yet we neglect our own obligations and sovereign nations within our own borders.

50Guy - If you could help a friend by relieving a small fraction of his/her burden, would you? Why do you feel it's wrong for me to do so? Why should they just "get over" what is happening to them?
