what's a ute? new blog from uni-watch
one blog i follow is uni-watch.com...thought the entry for today was pretty funny.
check some of these helmets out...hilarious...
If youve been reading Uni Watch over the past several months, you know that both Paul and I have made our views on teams using Native American imagery quite plain and I do not plan on rehashing any of those arguments today. Pauls position (and mine is still evolving on this) is that teams that use native iconography with the blessing of the tribe should be permitted to do so, so long as there is some kind of recompense for the tribe. So for the moment, lets assume this is my position as well the Utah Utes, the helmets depicted here today, are one of four NCAA teams who have received clearance to continue their use of both name and imagery, since they are doing so with permission from their respective tribes*. Those four are the Florida State University Seminoles, the Central Michigan Chippewas, the Illinois Illini (or Fighting Illini, and used Chief Illiniwek, portrayed by a live actor) and the Utah Utes. A good (if biased) article on the NCAA regs and the controversy can be found here.
