With the whole Indian on horseback thing. You’d think people would jump all over canceling them.

My understanding is that the Seminole tribe in general is very supportive of the FSU mascot and image.

The actual Seminole tribe loves it. Lesbians in Portland on the internet hate it.

So was the Sioux for North Dakota but the NCAA still fricked ND in the arse because ND wasn't as good of a brand as Florida State.

No, it's "indigenous peoples," you Eurocentric colonizer.

Because it isn't offensive.

Like saying Cowboys or Yankees are offensive.

I thought the cancel culture thing kind of died off itself.

I mean hopefully so.

The rate they were going they were going to find something wrong with any and everyone except themselves.

I mean who were they trying to kid anyway?

Seminole tribe ain’t woke. They support the recognition and view it as a sign of respect.

Because the tribe supports it (at least the one in FL, I've read things about the larger tribe in OK supposedly wanting to get rid of it).

"Native American" is beyond offensive.

The Indians werent the first people on the New World.

They just conquered and colonized it from the civilisation that got wiped out before them...

Dated article, but it's still the same:
quote:

Here in Florida, the relationship we have with Florida State goes beyond the football field. Florida State encourages members of the Seminole Tribe to apply for admission and spreads information about Seminole culture and history. Too many Americans, including Native Americans, get caught up in the debate over the tomahawk chop and miss the opportunity that comes in having a tribe in a close alliance with a major university.

While the Seminole Tribe of Florida gets no financial compensation for the university's use of the Seminole name and related symbols, the richness of the relationship brings a variety of social and economic benefits to our tribe.


The Seminole Tribe benefits from FSU ties
