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.

Come on, man. Their people suffered genocide largely at the hand of white people. We went into their land, killed every single person who fought to protect their home, took their land, and then forced a lot of the survivors onto reservations (some of which aren’t anywhere near their ancestral lands). Since white people have come here, we’ve done nothing but trample all over them simply because they weren’t hip to our ways of living. And after all that, it’s hard for me or any rational human being to say that them wanting sports franchises to ditch nicknames that are offensive to them is a tall order. This really never should’ve been an issue. We should’ve just gave them why they wanted and started giving these franchises new names long ago.

Christ alive, you people are fucking dense.
