FSU went after every High School they could find using the name Seminoles and the same Logo. I think all the High Schools can still use the name Seminoles but if the Logos match FSUs they must be changed. At first they wanted to make the schools change names also. Made FSU out to look like some sort of Bully. If not for the strong support of the Seminole Native Americans then FSU should be made to change their name as well. I am one to have always sided with the Native Americans about the use of their names as mascots of sports teams. The worst out there is the Washington Redskins. Guess that is why I hate Washington so much. Racism is only Racism if it is against certain colors I guess. Wonder how long the name would have lasted if called the Washington Blackskins and the Logo was a pic of a black guy. What pisses me off the most is where the team is located. Our Nations Capitol. That looks really good that our Nations Capitol has a team with such a racist name and Logo. Anyway enough about that. Dont mean to derail from the original topic but that just gets me everytime.
