A Senate committee killed a proposal Monday to ban schools from using<br>Savages or Redskins as team or school names.<br><br>Sen. Judy Eason McIntyre, who wrote Senate Bill 567 to ban those names, said<br>more work is needed to convince legislators such mascot names can be<br>hurtful.<br><br>The Senate Education Committee voted 18-5 to reject McIntyre's legislation.<br><br>"One thing we're going to have to do is educate people. It's not a militant<br>movement. Our goal is to help people understand it's racially insensitive,"<br>said McIntyre, D-Tulsa.<br><br>McIntyre's original bill included many other names such as Indians, Braves,<br>Chiefs, Apaches and Warriors.<br><br>She amended the measure to limit the ban to Redskins and Savages.<br><br><br><br>

And speaking of Vikings, they did something I said they should do during the playoffs - get rid of Randy Moss. He's on his way to the Raiders. Good riddance...<br><br>

I agree .. Good riddance ... Unlike the great, legendary receivers that have come before him, he should just shut up and prove how good he is instead of telling everyone of how good he is ... Show us, Randy. <br><br>****************<br>no sig

There was some talk early in the season that Moss might go to the Packers. At that time they had a Couch and a Davenport, and were looking for a Lazy Boy...<br><br>

And why are you trying to remove the native American from the public eye? Are you ashamed?<br><br>To use a native American as a figure to rally around is a great thing. <br>The idea that our heratige interweaves itself into daily society gives me pride. You would shove us under a rock. <br><br>You wouldn't be able to read it in my native words, but you'll understand when I say, you talk backwards and your hands never face upward.<br><br>Now shut up and stop pretending you're an original human.<br><br>

Why don't you try to imagine it a few different ways.<br><br>If you were Jewish, would you be happy if a mostly Protestant team was called "The Fighting Jews," or maybe, "The Zionists?" How about if they named themselves after a stereotypical physical attribute of Jewish people? Something's not right about that, right?<br><br>Why should Native Americans feel any different?<br><br>-- Charlie Alpha Roger Yankee Whiskey
