Miami Dolphins in need of a new logo?I checked the proverbial record books in Yahoo! Answers and about two years ago some fans were asking for answers if the Dolphins should change the logo.
The gist of some of their questions were this:

I don't mind the Dolphins logo. I think they need to worry about a new....... everything else after last night. Changing Logo's doesn't ever make a difference in attendence, or record. Remember the Lions changing their logo. Yes they got more wins the

almost the same as last year but this time no shove
Surgeon general warnings are used to protect those who put their bodies at risk. Advisements not to operate machinery while under the influence of alcohol or informing people of the health risks of smoking are just a few.
There should also be one on the back of Ndamukong Suh's helmet, because he can cause harm and atrophy to someone's body as well.
Suh is the centerpiece of the Detroit Lions ' defense and is known for his aggressive nature. But lately, he's been criticized for his demeanor on the field, though football is a contact sport the last time I checked . If there were a syllabus to playing football, contained animosity would be a requisite along with other traits that fall under the toughness category.
Having been flagged a few times this season and in his career for being what some officials deem as overly hostile, Suh is a throwback and often displays the type of will and determination players like Dick Butkus, Deacon Jones, Jack Lambert and Ronnie Lott once exhibited in their heyday. Jack Tatum would turn over in his grave if he knew how some of today's defenders were being assessed for their rough manner.
In order to create a behavioral code of conduct for college athletes, the NCAA must first define what “sportsmanship” is. According to the NCAA’s committee for sportsmanship and ethical conduct, there are seven ideals of sportsmanship to which an athlete should adhere: respect, caring, fairness, civility, honesty, integrity, and responsibility. The Big Ten Conference has a “BIG policy,” encouraging student athletes and fans to be bold when cheering on their team, but do so with integrity and respect for the opponent, as a great leader would.
However, the policy that hits closest to home is Michigan State University’s values regarding the behavior of athletes; such as respect, positive attitude, focus, accountability, continued improvement, and integrity. Sportsmanship policies are geared more towards fans, under the “Spartan Fans, Raise Your Shield” campaign.
Why is it that MSU does not seem to have an athletic policy directly mentioning the word “sportsmanship?” It is likely that one reason for this is the detailed sportsmanship and athletic behavioral policies of the NCAA and the Big Ten. But, there could be another reason, one that is a little less obvious: the implications of giving a concrete definition to sportsmanship.
