^^^ if you cant see da OBVIOUS difference in international malice VS
representing a celebrated tone in da actual logos then da fact is lost on u.
who are you to say that a team name or logo that's based off a racial stereotype has malice or is meant to be celebratory? do you understand that things like rocking a mohawk or have feathers in their hair or wear face paint or wear beads is just a stereotype? not all native tribes have dressed like this in their history.
here's just a small list of "federally recognized" tribes in the US. each with their own traditions and culture.

What if I wanted to start a baseball team and name them the Smallville Zulu Warriors because I want to celebrate the strength and power and fighting ability of Zulu warriors who defeated the British in Jan 22, 1879?
