Wrong helmet, wrong jersey and look at those numbers! I'm surprised he's not left-handed too.

It makes sense he signed with Adidas, their logo has three stripes in it which looks like the roman numeral for 3. Genius if you ask me.
Oh man.. you just gave me a custom shoe idea

Ok, so not sure if any of you have seen this yet. lol. I like it personally. Maybe we can wear more white in our uniforms also. lol. Hey, if they don't want a NFL football team to rep them then lets use another race to rep. lol.

The article is funny and the Q&A is even more funny. It's ok for Utah and FL State to use their names. It's ok for the Vikings to use that and the Fighting Irish.

If a team name like Indians is bad, what about a team name like Vikings?
That’s apples and oranges. The Vikings were not a victimized class subjected to genocide, theft of their land, etc. The issue here, at least from my perspective, isn’t about ethnic stereotyping; it’s about systematically destroying a culture and then using that culture’s imagery as if it belongs to you, which it doesn’t.
What about the Fighting Irish?
See above.So the Irish have never been "a victimized class subjected to genocide, theft of their land, etc." Interesting...

But this person is right, the French founders of Notre Dame weren't "using [a] culture’s imagery as if it belongs to [them]."
