Not that kind of Tribe


William and Mary, aka "The Tribe" (and my alma mater), has hit a brick wall over an ongoing dispute regarding the political correctness of the insitution's iconography. Managing to squeak by with the moniker "The Tribe", it's trademarked logo (seen here) as nevertheless been banned by the NCAA because the inclusion of the feathers may "create an environment that is offensive [to native Americans]."

Can't say I was ever fond of "The Tribe" label (it's kind of dopey), but c'mon.
