Of course. If we are talking facts, and being honest, . . . 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. What have they gone through? They lost a war and ended up being the first in human history to not be exterminated and/or enslaved. Instead they've been given a welcome mat to the greatest society in world history. They went from living in teepees with no electricity, medicine, or law and order. To living in white man style homes with electricity, full access to modern medical care, and fully imposed law and order. They've been dragged kicking and screaming from cave man technology to the 21rst century. Seems like they won more than they lost.
