Gov. Bush criticizes ban on FSU nickname

If the NCAA keeps this stupid junk up, there will be such a back lash from FSU, Illinois and others. I for one am getting really tired of all this PC crap. I've heard it ever since I went to FSU. Enough is enough!! Sheesh, it'll be the Florida Gators' mascot next because it offends zookeepers or something. AHHH!!

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Gov. Jeb Bush criticized NCAA officials on Tuesday for their decision to penalize Florida State for using an American Indian nickname and symbols, saying they instead insulted the university and a proud Seminole Tribe of Florida.

The NCAA's finding that the school's Seminoles nickname is "hostile and offensive," instead of honoring American Indians has the opposite effect, the governor said, because the tribe supports the school's use of its name.

"I think it's offensive to native Americans ... the Seminole Indian tribe who support the traditions of FSU," Bush said on his way into a Cabinet meeting. "I think they insult those people by telling them, 'No, no, you're not smart enough to understand this. You should be feeling really horrible about this.' It's ridiculous."
