I'm surprised no one'shad my view yet.

On the one hand, teams like the Seminoles, who have close ties to an actual tribe or group, are okay. They are part of an actual group. (Notre Dame falls into this as well.)

However, teams like 'Indians' 'Braves' and 'Redskins' could be very offensive. Why just the Redskins? Why not Blackskins? It could have an African American on the helmets! Or the Fightin' Rednecks! It would have a white guy as a mascot, running around, acting like a total moron.
NO! it's racist, no matter how you toss the dice. It's not tradition, it's offensive.
