A small group of people are suing the Indians over their offensive name. How long until the Braves, Chiefs, Blackhawks, and other teams are in court? Can we sue the state of Oklahoma? Can I sue the NY Yankees or the Minnesota Vikings?

Don't forget the Saints. And angels. Religious based names are biased against other denominations and non-believers.

I'm actually really surprised they are going so hard after the redskins over their name when you have a pro team with this as their logo:

Good call. It wouldn't be right to force an atheist to watch or pull for a team with a religious name.

So what? Don't watch their games or purchase their merchandise if it offends you. Going to court is a bitch move. But that's the only way the left knows how to act.

Now that it has some real muscle behind it in the White House, PC is just now starting to get rolling. If the Dems win in 2016, watch out.

Any human mascot is vulnerable to the "its offensive" excuse.

The Notre Dame mascot has been discussed but also the Tennessee Volunteer. The Vols were made famous as insurgents against the Mexican army in the Texas war for independence. That may offend latino people.

I love it. The liberal's foot soldiers in the Thought Police Department and Offended Minorities Division are finally starting to go so far beyond the scope of reality in their push to "equalize" the world and make things "fair" and non-offensive I think you're going to see a major pushback by a huge majority of normal folks who abhor the real-life manifestation of the equivalent of Youtube commenters.

I'm a lifelong Giants fan but a couple years ago when it magically all of a sudden became "offensive" I bought a Chief Wahoo Cleveland Indians hat and wear it every so often and will continue to do so even if the left gets their wish and bans every semblance of reality they find uncouth or against the "greater good."

I'd love for some moron liberal to see me wearing it and call me a "fricking disgrace" to my face.
