The National Congress of American Indians called it the equivalent of "black face".




WTF?

I didn't even think about it when Corso was doing it. I had no idea people were so sensitive about something so insignificant. All I saw was Corso doing his mascot thing like he always does.

The only reason I have even thought about it since Saturday is because apparently people are offended.

People search ans search and search for things to get offended about. It's kinda pathetic, IMO.

I admit I thought it was marginally inappropriate when it happened, but I give Corso a pass because he's an alum.

If that's offensive, then this is really fricking offensive:

thats dumb. What will everyone say when half the Kindergarden class dresses up like indians in a couple of weeks for their thanksgiving play? They should all just be pilgrims?

Why act like these guys randomly brought this up?

They were put in a horrible situation when the PRODUCERS of the show decided it would be a question to the last two guys on the show

If they say they have no problem with it, Deadspin writes a week worth of pieces calling them racists.

If they say it crossed the line, the MSB predictably calls them racists...

It absolutely was the equivalent of blackface.

I find both harmless.

It's fine to find both deplorable.

Finding one ok and the other not ok is the only stance you can take here that I would encourage the stance-taker shoving up his inconsistent and dishonest arse.

Have to make everything political. When they discussed it as a topic I was shocked, it never even crossed my mind.

Why do ESPN and all these random candy arse reporters think myself and the rest of Native Americans are such pussies? I never new this shite was going on until the Redskins thing.

The guy who dresses up as the chief each game is almost always a white undergraduate student who has the role all year. Is that racist too? If not then why Corso?

I really love it when people are offended for people who aren't offended at all.

I guarantee you this was started by a typical, WHITE, far left liberal in a position of power. They can blame it on some group, but I guarantee you a white person started stirring it up.

"Hey Native Americans!.... We know that you're not offended... But to show everyone how evolved and self righteous we are .... We are going to be offended for you!!!" - typical sissy white liberal
