I recall there was a high school in Chicago whose footbal team was named ‘The Warriors”, logo an American Indian headdress.

some tiny group said it was raicst and forced them to change the name.

I said, Why not just change the american Indian headdress to a Greek helmet and keep the name ‘Warriors’?

But nobody listens to me.

How about suing the NBA? They have the Golden State WARRIORS as a team playing in San Francisco. If they do that, why aren't the Irish suing the Boston CELTICS? They don't have players with Celtic ancestry and all their star players are BLACK.

Anybody tried suing the Cleveland Indians lately ?

Because the Greeks will cry racism?
