Team Mascots #7

Being a huge sports fan, i find this topic very interesting.  I believe that Florida St. has done nothing wrong and should be used as an example when it comes to schools with Native Americans or other stereotypes as their mascot.  With the approval of the Seminole tribe, I do not think Florida St. has done anything wrong.  I also understand many other teams have changed their names so not to offend any Indian tribes or not wanting to get into legal tribe because of it, teams like St. John's Red Storm which used to be St. John's Redman. However when it comes to something like the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, I believe that is perfectly ok.  Since I am very much Irish I do not feel offended by this and in fact I actually like the name and the mascot, however Notre Dame is in fact one of my least favorite schools because i'm a huge Boston College fan.  Both Notre Dame and Boston College are huge rivals when it comes to big time Catholic schools.  So when a school wants to use a Native American tribe as a mascot i believe that the school should ask permittion first also for the most part the school uses these mascots because of the history of the region their in and not out of disrespect.
