Suddenly turning around and deeming things offensive because some thin-skinned individuals are offended doesn't mean the rest of us have to care about their feelings.
The NCAA's position has been ridiculous from the beginning.

You're comparing working professions (e.g. steelworkers) to a race of people. No.
And it's not just the NCAA taking this position. Have you not seen the press about the Cleveland Indians lately?
