Poooof. Done.

Indian is not a bad word.

It’s definitely not a bad word. It’s an inaccurate word, but not a bad one. I think the biggest issue the Native American community had was the logo. I don’t know though. I can’t speak for them. I don’t keep up with baseball.

I’m sure there are other ways to name a team that honor a group of people. I haven’t heard anything about the Seminoles, Aztecs, or Chiefs. The Washington Redtails would be cool. The Washington Blacks or Washington Negroes? Not so much.
