So are the Celtics insulting Irish people with the Lucky the Leprechaun logo?
Are the Vikings insulting people from Norway/Sweden/Denmark?

I think the Indians and the Chief were meant as terms of endearment but Bad_Liberal thinks everything is offensive unless it isn't in his subjective view.

That's the problem with people like bad_liberal. They think removing a logo from a uniform is doing something that actually helps resolve historic injustice. It doesn't.
I didn’t not think anyone thinks removing the logo does anything to help resolve a historic injustice.
WTF?

Should say:

I don’t think anyone thinks removing the logo does anything to help resolve the injustice.

Which team has that for it's logo?
So that wouldn’t be cool with you?
How are you interpreting that as a yes or no answer to your question?

I'm asking which team has that as it's logo. Is it a professional team, a college, or a high school?
I’m asking you for a yes or no. Don’t answer a question with a question.

So remove it to make YOU feel good about yourself?

Have you seen the quality of life on Native American reservations? Do you think they give a **** about a MLB logo?

It’s inappropriate. It’s racist. Whether or not removing it does anything for Native Americans, it shouldn’t be used.

It’s inappropriate. It’s racist. Whether or not removing it does anything for Native Americans, it shouldn’t be used.
Because it would make YOU feel good about yourself?

No, because a major sports team using a racist logo is bad.
1/31/2018 9:38 AM
First, I'm not sure the majority of America thinks it's racist.
Second, I'm almost positive less than the majority of America gives a ****.

So, essentially, a vocal minority is deciding what is offensive and bad while the "offended" party struggles with day to day life due to government policies from long ago. Policies put in place after the murder and mistreatment of the "offended" party.

Do something that matters.

I do, I go spend money at their casinos.
1/31/2018 9:50 AM
Well, not a vocal minority. MLB. MLB didn’t have to do anything. It chose to get rid of the logo.

The all you can eat lobster buffet at the local casino is bomb.
