At the University of Northern Colorado, an intramural basketball team has called themselves ?The Fighting Whities? as a poke in the eye of the “establishment.” The players, made up of a mixture of American Indian, Hispanic and caucasian students, wear white jerseys with the picture of a white man in a suit on the front and the slogan “Every thang’s gonna be all white!” printed beneath.
Personally speaking, I’ve been a proponent of elimintating ethnic and tribal names for sports teams for years. I think this is great. It was meant to be humorous and not antagonistic yet, still try to raise awareness that, to some, it isn’t an “over-reaction.”
