I'm not sure how the Buffalo Bills name is offensive to anyone other than Buffalos.
Promotes violence by invoking a time of Westward expansion that encouraged cruelty and social injustice toward the native people. Buffalo Bill himself greatly exploited the native people. The name also was influenced by its founders, and oil tycoon, and through the use of non-renewable energy should be discouraged.

You may as well add a whole lot more teams to your list if you're going to stretch to such lengths.

You forgot:
Portland Trail Blazers - also promotes American hegemony and westward expansion
Orlando Magic - promotes witchcraft
Oklahoma City Thunder - demeans victims of Midwestern storms
Phoenix Suns - promotes global warming
Philadelphia Eagles - demeans America itself by portraying the iconic symbol of our country as a petty predator
etc etc etc
We get it. Nice shtick. Any team name/logo can be willfully misconstrued to seem offensive in some backwards sense.
Doesn't change the fact that just a couple are, in actuality, blatantly and overtly offensive.
