If those are offensive just because they are named for Indian tribes, then what about the names of the states themselves? A lot of them are named for Indian tribes. If just the name of a tribe is now somehow deemed to be offensive we will have to change the names of at least these states:
Alabama - May come from Choctaw meaning “thicket-clearers” or “vegetation-gatherers”Arkansas - From the Quapaw Indians
Illinois - Algonquin for “tribe of superior men”
Indiana - Meaning “land of Indians”
Iowa - Probably from an Indian word meaning “this is the place” or “the Beautiful Land”
Kansas - From a Sioux word meaning “people of the south wind”
Massachusetts - From Massachusett tribe of Native Americans, meaning “at or about the great hill”
Missouri - Named after the Missouri Indian tribe. “Missouri” means “town of the large canoes.”
New Mexico - From Mexico, “place of Mexitli,” an Aztec god or leader
North and South Dakota - From the Sioux tribe, meaning “allies”
Oklahoma - From two Choctaw Indian words meaning “red people”
Utah - From the Ute tribe, meaning “people of the mountains”
Isn't Connecticut derived from an Indian word? And think of all the rivers and cities!
Mississippi and Missouri will have to be re-named.
Excellent point.
Then of course Oklahoma State, University of Wyoming, and Gerry Jones must give up "Cowboys" as they were oppressors of the weak and all-around bad white men.
I hope someone sends the NCAA your list. The pansies.
Time for new collegiate athletic leadership, folks.
