I tell you, this Woke Thing is something else. How could you go that long and not be upset enough to really make a protest. Now, it is everyone jump on the bandwagon.
BRADLEY
The NCAA targeted Bradley in 2005 for its use of the Braves moniker. The team has continued to hold firm in keeping the nickname and in 201 asked alumni if he name should stay. (I wonder what they had to say. Again, changing a school's historical bane should always be put to a vote of alumni and current students.)

FLORIDA STATE
The Seminoles were asked this summer about their name but said it wasn't offensive, citing a partnership with the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Tribe spokesman Gary Bitner said it was a "multidimensional collaboration."

UTAH
Utah has a similar agreement with the Ute Indian Trobe to honor the tribe with its nickname. In March, the university and tribe reached a five-year agreement to use the name Utes.
