People have completely tarnished the definition of the word racist.

Also a few years back a bunch of white people got offended on behalf of the Seminoles and tried to cancel the name. The actual Seminole tribe then gave them a big frick you and said that changing the name would dishonor their legacy.

Indians are being honored by the sports teams, despite losing the war. I think it's heroic to remember they weren't as good as us by naming really shitty franchises after them.

FSU works with the Seminole tribe of Florida, but that doesn't stop morons from demanding FSU change

always has been a movement to get rid of those names, and there always will be until they are actually gone :/

Ive personally never thought the Indians or the Braves was a racists name. But maybe that just the racist in me?

They've demanded we get rid of the Gamecock mascot for years.

Athletes are gonna be pissed when they find out that they can't wear Puma and Adidas shoes, or Hugo Boss suits to press conferences, or drive their Mercedes G-wagons to games.

What about Fighting Irish, Celtics, Vikings, Ragin Cajuns, Highlanders, Gaels, Spartans, Trojans, and then there is all the religious intolerance: Demon Deacons, Friars and Quakers.

Let’s go a step further. Anybody with the last name Jackson or Lee? Go to the courthouse and get your name changed.

If the Irish want to be called the fighting Irish it’s a little different than an MFL team being called the Redskins.
