Funny how any professional or college sports team in these parts is under increasing pressure year in and year out to rid of the Native American names, logos, and mascots due it being "insensitive and demeaning to Native Americans"....and yet you see this. It went away for the Washington Redskins after years of hassles, not here.

Here in WI, Marquette University got pressured to change from Warriors to Golden Eagles years back and lose the Indian head and headdress image that Al McGuire's national champ team made popular. The town just north of me has been getting hammered over recent years and faces legal action from the State if they don't switch their high school name from the Kewaskum Indians to something less "insensitive." Last I heard it was stuck in a court battle. That stuff is going on everywhere up here.

Is this stuff not happening down in the South?
