ok i keep hearing about native americans complaining about mascot names,and i honestly dont understand the fuss,i mean i 100 percent agree with the redskins,i mean theres no way a team called the blackskins or whiteskins would be accepted so why should this,but as far as the other teams such as the chiefs,seminoles,any team named indians, i think it should be an honor,i mean i think those teams should donate money to local tribes around their areas but i mean if there was a team called the kansas city french settlers i would feel happy the recognize my heritage.also if we change these names when does it stop?will hurricainne victims demand the U of Miami to change their name?will people with growth disorders demand a new mascot for the giants?i've already heard peta is grumbling about animal mascots.i mean come on it's just a name.
ok i had to vent thanks guys,

have you read the gambling thread? bunch of racist assholes that post there

yeah, buncha nigger haters over there

i have not read it,i also want to point out i'm not being racist,i have quite a bit of indian heritage my great great great grandpa was a chief,my grandpa went to haskell indian college,

I don't believe you but I do agree that it is bullshit.......the names are there to pay respect to the indians, not to make fun of them.

well it's your right but it's the truth,i have strong indian heritage on that side of my family,i look white as can be blonde hair blue eyes,but it's true green.

who were the native americans again??????

they're ignorant, they got nothin' on us.

Definitely nothing offensive about this:

Local tribes???

I know.....look at that big bright smile.....such a happy looking indian.

Put a feather in his cap and call it macaroni...

I am native to America

It seems to me that the people who genuinely have problems with such nicknames are the overwhelming minority.

Most people don't give a rip, IMO.
