I don't think he finished college and he's definitely not a lawyer.

I think a stylized version of this might be a solution to the Washington Redskins controversy. Has a bit of something for everybody.
Got Implied multi-racial component.
Got the Black hands up! It's right there in your face. (Plus subliminal shut up bout dat)
Got the red Mohawk to bring in the punk element.
Got subtle cross-dressing component while retaining warrior ethos.

As a descendant of a Dutch Colonist (1659), I really resent the Yankees trademark! The term is from an old, disparaging name that people used to call the Dutch. Many men were named Jan and they made and liked to eat cheese. Jan Cheese was shortened to Yankees. Actually I do not resent the trademark, it is another thing to be proud of.
