That's what happened. That's what it was, and is.
They object to the Redskins, the Indians, the Braves, the Chiefs, etc. They want no reference at all from the white man. So let's just erase them from history, and we'll never have to refer to them again.
Obviously you’re being hyperbolic, but I don’t see why you think this is a non-issue and that Native Americans are just being babies. I mean, it is a non-issue in the sense that a franchise changing their nickname is hardly an issue and shouldn’t be something that should generate controversy unless the franchise is going with something that is also offensive. Indigenous people aren’t being babies when they say they don’t like being used as mascots for sports franchises. And considering what they’ve gone through and continue to go through as a people, I think removing all Native American imagery from sports is a pretty simple thing to do for them.
