Why do some colleges and pro teams get to keep Indian names as their mascot?

Because calling a team the Seminoles is different from calling a team the "Redskins."

Cause the Seminoles actually WANT their tribe represented. It’s only white liberal people trying to feel bad and cancel shite. It’s really bizarre.

Why are you triggered?

It’s an honor. Seminoles were tough as heck.

Because the Seminole tribe took it as a point of pride and told the white women who were getting offended for them to shut the frick up.

Because the Seminole nation are not but hurt bitches. They actually gave the University permission to use the name. They view it as a source of pride.

Sun Belt coach can't compete in big leagues. Glad that Scott didn't fall for it with all Napier pushes.

lol no. No actual Indians were offended by the name redskin. It was just white liberals who were offended for them that got the name changed

This is the truth. There’s a massive difference between calling a team “the redskins” or “the Indians” and using a specific tribe as your mascot. The Seminole tribe honors the tradition as well.

Why are all the tribes referred to as native Americans instead of their individual tribe names? Just because they had similar skin tones? Seems racist to me.

because the original explorers thought they traveled to Asia instead of the New World. Did you fail middle school history or something?
