eh, i mean, i get why someone WOULD consider it offensive. i also see that not that many folks are really standing up to say that it is....unless youre a mexican dude from minnesota or bob costas lmao.

Well half Mexican and half Native. I've talked about that in great detail many years ago here. But yeah. I was raised by my Native grandma and my Native grandpa left my mom so he wasn't in my life but he's still in my blood. So since 2 out of the 3 grandparents I grew up with were Mexican, I consider myself more Mexican than Native. But blood wise I'm 50/50. :D

That's totally beside the point. You might as well be 100% Native. Doesn't count for anything cause your a fucking brain-washed liberal and Russell is not judgemental and arrogant at all, so HE tells YOU what to think and you better listen, boy!
Sccit:
IF I WAS A NATIVE ID BE PROUD OF TEAMS PLAYING AS US. INDIANS IS MORE FUCKED UP THAN REDSKINS, TO ME. WHAT'S WRONG WITH REDSKINS? THAT'S THE SKINTONE OF A NATIVE. IT COULD BE TAKEN IN A POSITIVE CONTEXT .

As I've said for me personally, I don't take offense to Braves, Chiefs, Blackhawks. Do I hate the Chiefs, yeah, I'm a Raider fan. But Native themed names are NOT the problem. Just like many Irish love their Boston Celtics, or the Knickerbockers celebrates New York's Dutch history, I'd be mad if there wasn't at least one team with a Native theme. That's just me though. But Redskins and Indians I do have a problem with. As I've said, if the Indians mascot was a real Indian and it was Apu, would Indian Americans be mad, well hell yeah. The Redskin's imagery is not actually bad, it's actually on par with the Blackhawks. But the actual name it's self is what the problem is. If they kept the imagery and renamed themselves the Braves like their original name, I wouldn't have a problem.

I think the Hindus would be enthused if there was a team named after them
The real problem is that Indians and Native Americans are 2 different things .. It's like calling a team that represents spaniards the "Mexicans" lmao
