I’ve never understood this assault on indian school team names except as the bleat of the terminally offended. I mean, a school team name is typically chosen to imply something strong, worthy, and fierce; Eagles, Wolverines, Warriors, Braves. No one is going to name a team the Fighting Politicians or the Screaming Comunity Organizers.
Political correctness says that we’re supposed to be offended by Indian nicknames. We’re supposed to sit down, shut up, and get with the program.
I think the NCAA has some new regulations about Indian mascots or Indian nicknames going into effect.
And what of other names which could be offensive, which we never hear complaints about, such as :
Boston Celtics
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
San Diego Padres
Why isn’t PETA on our case about the numerous sports teams named after animals? If it’s offensive to Indians to have nicknames derived from Indians, isn’t it offensive to have nicknames derived from animals????
It's a sort of racism that seems to be OK among the Leftwingtards and "newsies".
I'd like to see the Indians push back against this stuff by inviting some of the worst offenders out to a reservation and losing them in the hills, or maybe just staking them out for a few days.
