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.

[quote][B]If a team name like Indians is bad, what about a team name like Vikings?[/B]
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.

[B]What about the Fighting Irish?[/B]
See above.[/quote]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]."

Reebok still has the contract with the NFL right? Until the contract is up Nike is just complaining about sour grapes.

If that post is true and Reebok's agreement with the NFL expired at the beginning of March, well then they are probably screwed.

looks like nike won this round and the sale of the reebok tebow jerseys has been, well, forbidden

New era did a flex fit draft hat as well

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

I wondered if New Era was gonna offer this 'hip'-style of hat. I wonder if they're fitted. Either way, there will be other offerings that'll please different styles. I'd buy one of these to put it in the back window of my car.
