"However, two things bother me. One is the name Washington Redskins, and the other is the logo for the Cleveland Indians."
You let things bother you too easily. I grew up with the goofy Indians logo, and I can tell you, I never once, not once, considered that logo representative of native Americans. The Indians were named to honor a native American player for the team, (Cleveland Spiders at the time).
The Fighting Irish mascot is a leprechan, why doesn't that bother you? I mean, all all irish small in stature and combative?
The Vikings use a primitive guy with a hammer. Why doesn't that bother you? Do you think Scandanavians are violent and carry weapons?
*sigh* No wonder PC rules.
LOL. It doesn't bother me that much. I just think the Indians logo is an awful charicature, and I think the Redskins are an awful name. I don't dwell on it, and I don't boycott these teams or sports because of it. It's just one person's opinion :)
Actually, you Browns have been ahead of the curve here for a long time. No logo. Just a color. Until, of course, the Mexicans drift that far north and then you've got still another problem.
