Well if you wanted to be all PC, yes the mascot and logo was offensive, the name, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDD Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Didn't read four pages so sorry if this has been posted. However, if you want to see how to honor Native American culture...look up what Florida State did in the late 70's with the Seminole Nation. It's the path to actually honor them, not some bumble farg white person attempt to connect millionaires playing a sport with a culture that has thousands of years of survival and history behind it. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easily one of the weirdest sports team names. Like naming a team the "Jeffs" Amherst Lord Jeffs! they have moved on from they Jeffs sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indians are from India. They were possibly offending two different groups of people at the same time... it's pretty ***** amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 All of this is utter crap. The team names that are being referenced were NOT adopted by opponents as a disparaging symbol of anything or anyone! They were all chosen as a sign of respect for adopted name, generally referring to the heroics and bravery of the culture. How this got flipped on its head is beyond me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only makes sense though, if I name my team "the Polish" and I'm not even Polish (even if my wife is Polish and I love Polish people) I should expect Polish people to express some thoughts...

Although, it would all sound weird and lose it's charm. When the run game was king, maybe. With today’s modern NFL designed around the pass, the lack of the digitus pollex pretty much guarantees a bison drafted in the first 4 rounds is a huge mistake. Maybe bring in one in on a late round flyer, kick the hooves and whatnot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
