Non-Conference Scheduling rumors

[Commando]

Here is what I don't understand about Wisconsin. They have a policy that they will not play teams with Native American mascots even when the tribe endorses using the mascot and they use the mascot respectfully. Yet, they are willing to play a school that supports denying basic human rights to individuals based on sexual orientation and actively promotes discrimination against individuals based on sexual orientation.

Maybe they just hate bitch-ass schools and the whole Native American mascot thing is a front?

Or maybe they like Native Americans but hate gays?

That may be true, but you know that I'm right that it is a bizarre position to take and that what I say about BYU is accurate. I note that I did not get a logic fail on that post.

Definitely some logic there. But I will award you a hyperbole sticker:

What if some gays endorse denying basic human rights to individuals based on sexual orientation and actively promoting discrimination against individuals based on sexual orientation, as long as it is done respectfully?

Neither. Illini is not a reference to injuns!

I think they already know:

For more than two decades, Chief Illiniwek was the center of a controversy. At the root of the controversy is the view of several American Indian groups and supporters that the mascot was a misappropriation of indigenous cultural figures and rituals and that it perpetuated stereotypes about American Indian peoples. As a result of this controversy, the NCAA termed Chief Illiniwek a "hostile or abusive" mascot and image in August 2005[2] and banned the university from hosting postseason activities as long as it continued to use the mascot and symbol.

The University of Illinois retired Chief Illiniwek as mascot in 2007, with his last official performance on February 21, 2007.[3]
