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.

i dont understand why people think bein a logo or mascot is insulting Originally Posted by PAULYPOKER

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!

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 lives
