Agreed in total. The confusing part about the aforementioned instance in my northeast corner is that "Indian" is good enough for the name of the locale of the Penobscot Nation (Indian Island), but offensive when used as a sports mascot.

BTW, there will be no game conflict. My Black Bears aren't hosting; they're going to Appalachain State in the second round (first round bye).
