[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 4627776, member: 66082"] Why do I bother. Is this a debate between native Americans? Did native Americans vote or create these team names? NO. So this a debate between native Americans and the people who named their teams after native Americans. None of whom were native Americans or are native Americans. So that means the fact that some other native Americans don't care about the team names or hell they can even like the team names changes nothing about the claims of the native Americans who are offended by the team names because the team names don't come from other native Americans. So that means the people(who aren't native Americans) who created the team names and maintain the team names have to answer the claims of those native Americans who are offended by their team name. So in the actual debate it still ends up with people on one side are saying this team's name offends my ethnicity/culture and on the other side are people saying we don't care if the name offends your ethnicity/culture, what you think doesn't matter.
