My Universities football team (Louisiana University Monroe) was called the Indians. It was called the Indians in honor of the noble tribes in North Louisiana of years past. Today it is not called the Indians as this is politically incorrect. This confuses me.

We honored noble tribes via their name. To change the name is dishonor in my mind. ?????

Every poll I’ve seen has indicated that 80 to 90 per cent of Native Americans don’t object to Indian-related names for sports teams.

(My husband was so pissed about this that we watched ‘Major League’ tonight, just for spite...great movie.)

Black Pearl Olives just renamed their brand Pearl Olives. For what reason I haven't a clue.

There are many shades to pearls.

I had thought that there were only black, green, and ‘blue’ olives, until this thread led me to investigate:

There seems to be a total absence of reason.

I serve on the Board of Directors of a Native American tribal-owned company. They could care less about what Cleveland calls their sports teams.

"Guardians? As in someone who controls someone else? "

Could as easily be the brand name for a condom.

I think you’ve hit on a brilliant marketing idea! The mascot could run onto the field wearing a jumbo condom!
