Saints' Champ Bailey: Redskins name like N-word

Danno · 06-13-2014, 03:24 PM

I wonder how Native Americans (I hate that word since I'm a native American as well, as is my Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather etc)
feel about what I think are Honorary names like Braves, Warriors, Chiefs?

Or how the feel about tribal names like Seminoles and Blackhawks?

The only things that I can agree with and see as offensive is the name Redskins and that stupid looking Indian mascot of the Cleveland Indians.

Seriously? I hate the PC movement but that's gotta be about as offensive as it gets.

The Utes love the fact that Utah uses their tribe's name. A poll last year (or the year before last) showed over 95% approval among the tribe members.

The University consults with the tribe often to make sure the feel they're being portrayed in a good light.
