That will make their heads spin! (And yes, that was a real baseball team).
How about Canadian Indians? There pretty close to the boarder.
The State of Wisconsin OWNS a tech school named Indianhead Tech in Rice Lake, Wisconsin.
How is naming your team after them portraying them in a negative light?
Do these people not understand that sports teams and the like are named for things we admire, respect and/or fear.
How that is derogatory to anyone is beyond my comprehension.

Someone hates Indians.
At UND the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo (done by a native artist), were fought against for nearly a decade by the NCAA before they succumbed. Neither the Spirit Lake Tribe nor most individuals found anything demeaning in either the logo nor the celebration of a warrior heritage.
Who gets to be so smart (and condescending) they can be offended for an entire people (they demean by being offended for them--which implies they aren't smart enough to be offended for themselves)?
Ban Liberals, quick!
Hm, My children are 50% Mescalero Apache, born in Mescalero, NM, and grew up on a ranch on the edge of the reservation. One is now a grown man, earned the Silver Star in the Army and has a very successful company.
The name of the Reservation football team was the “Braves.”
The district’s dress code says a list of prohibited logos and mascots would be made available before the beginning of the school year. ==
So my shirt will say:
“Here’s the prohibited list - per the School District. Don’t wear these:
Mascot 1
Logo 1
Mascot 2
Logo 2
etc.”
Entire states have been named for Indians.
(Utah and Indiana come to mind.)
This violates free speech rights. What the Hell does “negative stereotype” mean? Every student should go to these schools wearing a Blackhawks or Redskins shirt. Free speech rights do not end at the schoolhouse door.
East High School in my city changed it’s nickname from Orientals to something else because it offended Asians.
The damn high school got the nickname Orientals because it is located in the EASTERN part of the city, and not because it referred to a race of people.
This country is going insane.
A few years back I was driving a lefty lady from Madison around our farmland countryside and met a school bus. This dumb cluck asked me “what’s a bus doing out here?”. I replied picking up kids for school. She said “children live on farms?”. I was absolutely floored, and said yes. Her reply was “how abusive”.
I just cannot fathom the brainwashing this nitwit had to have such an attitude.
Presumably, Che Guevara shirts, Mao shirts, La Raza shirts, ISIS shirts will be allowed. Welcome to Acirema where the guilty are rewarded and the innocent punished.
Meanwhile the quality of American education continues to plummet in comparison to other nations which are spending a fraction of the amount of money thrown down the blackhole of American public education.
Madison, WI school district bans all Indian logo.
FReep Mail meif you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
A number of years back our High School kids did a fundraiser selling t-shirts and sweatshirts with our ORIGINAL logo of ‘Warriors’ on them and the term, ‘Old School’ on the back. Parents and Grandparents lapped them up!
They raised the most money EVER in the history of the school for fundraisers. I will NEVER part with my Old School ‘Warriors’ hoodie! Heck, I’d like to be buried in it, LOL!
If other schools want to cash in on this, I would advise they do it QUICK before people are SHOT over this STUPIDITY or thrown in jail by the PC Police.
PING! More satire/idiocy than you can fit in one column! :)
