"NCAA drops the ball in the nickname game" by Khalif Woodard

In this article they talk about how the NCAA has put down new guidelines that says that colleges are not aloud to use Native American tribes as nicknames. I think that this a very interesting idea because it gives some good view points from both sides of the situation. First off the nickname of a university should not be "hostile or abusive". The article states one of its main points on how the NCAA included The FSU Seminole nickname in that category and then dropped it because of the local Seminole tribe supporting it. In my opinion the NCAA should just leave this situation alone simply because it is a harmless issue that should be taken more lightlu. The names of the team have no negative aspects, thaey are just intemidating names used as a tactic to scare the other team.
