I’ve been around Indians all of my life. I was a minority in elementary and high school. I work with Indians now. In all my years, I have never once heard even one of them complain about this. A lot of them are hardcore Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians fans and they wear all of the “team gear” for those teams. This is just a bunch of white college commie kid nonsense.

Wouldn’t “Mukwonago” be an Indian name? Maybe they should change the name of the town as well. Something like “Bubbling Brook” or “Maplecrest?” Only Gaia could take offense.

Ridicule is one the ultimate weapons in a struggle against anything. This judge essentially ridiculed the whole suit and can now be quoted in future such cases.

Don’t forget the Chiefs of Kansas City, Florida Seminoles and my favorite the Fighting Sioux of North Dakota.

The people of North Dakota have embraced the logo. Every race here has a fighting Sioux shirt.

That's exactly what it is. Naming a team after an Indian tribe is a sign of respect for its strength and bravery. Why can't these clowns see that?

I wish Washington would be the Redskins for four games, then the Blackskins for four games, then the Yellowskins, then the Whiteskins. "Blessed are the peacemakers." That's a team everyone could support. (Somebody smarter than I will need to figure out the three new mascots.)

In the playoffs they'd continue being the Redskins.

So am I, but I work in IT :)

I was talking with a guy I work with from India about Mexico, and mentioned about how a large portion of the population is descended from Indians. I then said "I mean not from India, I mean native Mexican..." he stopped me and said with a smile, "I know what you meant".
