Guidelines were not immediately available on which logos and nicknames would be considered "hostile or abusive."
Of course they weren't. That would require the proponents of this bullshite to actually posses a set of balls and take ownership of this cluster.

Anybody know of any teams this will affect currently as-is?

Other than the Brooklyn University Greasy Wops, the Upper East Side State Greedy Kikes, the Southern Georgia State Runnin' Porch Monkeys and the Central Arkansas State Trailer Park Crackers?

Bingo.

Making the Fighting Sioux change their nickname erases yet one more thing that helps people remember that there are even Sioux left in this country.

Good thing though is the school can keep their names if they want, just can't use it on their uni's in tournaments.

Yes they are honroed by the greenbacks that are paid to them by FSU to use the name. Of course these are "donations" to the nation but it is significant money they are awarded each year.

Inidan Names -> Chiefs -> H. Roe Bartle -> Boy Scouts -> Mic-O-Say

Damn, I guess I'm gonna have to change my FFL team name. I never dreamed the Knoxville Sprint Car Rednecks would be offensive.

Oh, hell yeah. PETA's on my ass for my team:

The Rocky Mountain Murder Monkeys.

Evidently I'm unfairly projecting an image of violence on the peace-loving creatures.

The 'CHEFS' of course. Have you seen that guy on Hells Kitchen? He's mean as hell. And instead of the arrowhead, put a big turkey drumstick dripping with gravey. I think that would strike fear in opponents. Well, until all the chefs in america get together and say that's not PC.

Mile High Mania, I know there's an arrowhead and stuff on the logo and the stadium is named after the same, but the Chiefs were actually named after a KC mayor whose nickname was 'the chief'.

I don't think the Chiefs do any dishonor to native American traditions. You can barely see the influence anywhere except the arrowhead logo.

Monkeys hate violence.

That's why it's much better to euthanize them and dump them illegally in a ditch.

The term 'warrior' is abviously hostile AND abusive - what's wrong with you people?!?!?!
