Is it really cultural “appropriation” or RESPECT for some aspects of some “native Americans” and particularly fierce bravery on the battlefield. The latter is clearly why some sports teams adopt(ed) various “native American” titles in their names, and NOT out of any disrespect.
Those titles have entered the COMMON AMERICAN culture and now belong to the COMMON AMERICAN culture. That occurs in EVERY culture and it occurs NOT out of disrespectful “appropriation” but the mingling of sources over time.
I just wish their fans wouldn’t do that disgusting FSU chant.
Our most dangerous helicopter is called ‘Apache’!
Our Paratroopers yell Geronimo when they jump!
The reason Army helicopters are named after native tribes will make you smile :
