In case I haven't mentioned it, I do a monthly column for the American magazine here in the UK, which appears online and in the print edition. July's was an essay on the problem with the Redskins and other nicknames, including possible suggestions for new names (the Watergators, anyone?) and the problems some colleges have (the Idaho Vandals: if I were a Vandal I'd be scandalized!). If you're interested, you can
link to it here.
Really interesting piece Mike. Just one small thing you've probably read a few hundred times: George Floyd died in Minneapolis, not in Seattle. Alex, Sussex, UK
