“Having Cherokee ancestors, imho names like the Fighting Sioux (or Chiefs, Braves, or Warriors) are not insulting. Nor are teams named after tribes (like the FSU Seminoles.) They are part of American history and culture, and these names highlight POSITIVE aspects of native-Americans from the past.”
I have a friend who is half Seminole and he told me that his family finds the term “Native American” very insulting. His family prefers “American Indian.”
How about Kumbaya Sioux?
I’m really angry that a university would allow itself to be cowed by this stupid PC stuff. How about having a game with no winners so that some fragile psyches wouldn’t be razzled.
