Wisconsin law bans "race based" names for sporting teams

America's Left-enforced racial neurosis continues
"The homecoming pep rally Friday at Kewaunee High School will have extra drama this year: Everyone in town will learn whether they'll be rooting for the River Bandits or the Storm to beat the Valders Vikings in the big football game.

The selection of a new nickname is the culmination of a sometimes painful few months in this town of 2,745. Under a new state law meant to eliminate race-based nicknames, logos and mascots, a complaint prompted the Kewaunee School District to drop the "Indians" name that had been in use here since 1936.

"This has been a tough time," says Sandi Christman, who chaired a committee that got the whole community involved in the selection of a new name and mascot. "It's like losing a friend."

So 'Indians' is a bad team name, but 'Vikings' is a good one?

One of the main reasons the dangerous and corrosive virus known as political correctness continues to do so much damage to our society is because people do not resist it in all it's manifistations, including all these phony "official" decisions. It relies on compliance from the sheeple.

"Kewaunee High School"? Kewaunee sure sounds like the name of an indian tribe! Is the school going to change it's name as well?

Hmmm. I personally think that the "Kewaunee Coddling Pansies" sounds perfectly acceptable. I'm just not sure what the fuss is all about.

Green Bay has the "Packers." Doesn't this refer to homosexuals, and shouldn't that also be banned? :)
