Honestly, I think you should probly STFU.

If the Ute tribe has no problem with it, then it's more offensive to tell them what they should and shouldn't be offended by.

(My phone won't link the article about the Ute tribe officially approving the use of the name and the logo a couple years ago.)

Also, the University of Utah's use of the Drum & Feather pre-dates the Redskins use of something similar, and their racism and caricature of Native Americans has nothing to do with Utah's legitamite representation of a local people group.

You should stfu. It offends some members of other tribes. It is a caricature and Imv the Utes would be better without it. Where the Ute Tribe stands on the drum and feather isn't relevant to all native people. Further because of the redskins it reflects poorly on the school. I'm not going to tell the Ute tribe to be offended I'm simply willing to recognize that other Native Americans seem to be.

My wife is registered American Indian and I could if I wanted as her spouse register myself and have free dental etc. I don't cuz I'm not native. So please don't act like I haven't considered the matter.
 
LMAO some dude was trying to take a selfie with Herbstreit and the dude was so damn star struck. He couldn't even hold his phone steady enough to take the damn picture. It was hard to watch. Herbstreit was being really nice about it, but I could tell he was getting slightly annoyed. Eventually the dude had to let someone else take the picture for him.


Atmosphere around the set is great. President's Circle is a way better locale for Gameday than just the parking lot outside the stadium. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Also bold is wrong.

Utah has been using the drum and feather since 1975.(hence the interlocking U's on the throwback) The redskins have been using a version of it since the 1930's.

Nope. Redskins had a dude with a headress, but not a D&F til after the Utes did.

PS: i have a really good friend who is part of the Ute tribe. That Probly beats out your wife being Native American.

Probly.

I think maybe I didn't convey the point to my story very well. I'm not offended by it, my old lady isn't offended by it, but that's irrelevant. The point to my story is why I don't register myself, cuz I would be a phony. That's what the D&F is. It's phony and a good number of people are either offended by it or uncomfortable with it.

PS the Redskins put an R inside a drum in 1970, the Utes did it in 1975. Utah adopted the name Utes in 1972. Guess what they were called before then? yep the Redskins. The D&F is a total ripoff. No way around it.
