I don't think the Cleveland Indians name is offensive to native americans.
The logo though? Yeah maybe a bit offensive.

Correct. The list goes on but the Detroit Lions have virtually destroyed the fierceness aura of a real lion.Originally posted by Mr KLCComment -

Tribute?Originally posted by Hman
Ask a true native if it's a tribute.......
Were sorry for the genocide taking all your land rich with resources
and placing you in the middle of the desert......
So we are going to honor you by using your name in vain as our sports mascots across
the US to remind you of your fateful misery and epic loss of everything you once owned
that was worth a shit......
Everything that wasn't worth a shit we let you keep....Comment -
Now we're going to take most of your casino business away by building our own.........Comment -

i dont understand why people think bein a logo or mascot is insultingOriginally posted by PAULYPOKER
the point of a team mascot usually means to be fierce , magical or native to the city
think about these ones.....
warriors
celtics
fighting irish
cowboys
wizards
yankees
mariners
pirates
raiders
patriots
vikings
and then a lot fierce animals too..... no ones named chihuahuas
bulls
lions
tigers
Grizzlies
rays
eagles
ravens
and so on..... i could name a bunch more but people should get the pointComment -
to me they always meant as a tribute to groups of people or animals
no different here with native americans in my opion.....
might as well just change them all to the corporation names like what will eventually happen......
cleveland rocket morgtagers
washington burger kings
atlanta nikes
boring!Comment -

White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes killed our creed
He took our game for his own need
We fought him hard we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came too much for Creed
Oh will we ever be set free?
Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom the stab in the back
Women and children are cowards attack
Soldier blue in the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills, run for your livesComment -
