Tribes Indians Natives vs Blackhawks

[OregonDucks]

how all these native American names are trying to be re-named, are they also going after the Blackhawks? if many find the Redskins logo "offensive" I can't imagine they like the Blackhawks logo too much.

I found this, from a few years ago:

Chicago area Native Americans weigh in on Blackhawks name/logo

Looks like they are okay with the name, but somewhat conflicted about the logo.

Ok, Notre Dame's nickname is the Fighting Irish and their logo is a leperchaun in an old timey fighting pose. The conversation about racist sports names starts and ends there, and you don't hear a peep from the Irish. People need to stop being such fucking babies.

I am tired of these names trying to be renamed! Locally I always hear far more about the Redskins name than I do the logo.

The Redskins should keep their name but change their logo to a potato.

I think the objection to "Redskins" is more about the name being a Racial slur.

Oh, you.

For the record I think all indian names and logos should stay the same.

IF they end up changing all of these names, I also believe the Cowboys name should be changed as well then. As white American, I am offended of these "Cowboys" who drove and stole the Native American's land, to me they are offensive to the white person since they stole land from others. (not really my opinion, but I think if people make a huge deal out of Native American names being racist, why not put up a storm about white people history too?)

I will be accused of being mean, and I guess I am, but honestly that is one of the stupidest posts I have ever read on this or any other board.
