These are the names these people gave themselves. Are you saying you are offended on their behalf. Have another banana flavored pellet please.
Gee. Sounds like you have an issue with the tribes involved.
Once you get the tribes to renounce their offensive names, get Miami, Utah, Ottawa, Illinois, North and South Dakota to change their offensive names.
Then we can move on to sports franchises.
Until then, why don't you accept the fact that that this controversy is just a way for a couple liberals (of Native American decent) to raise money from gullible white people.
Read the article... it is a non-issue.
Let's get rid of all those names so they do not offend. Especially warrior or brave which will no longer be associated with Native Americans. Obviously they are derogatory terms and they cannot be called that.
That, of course, will effectively marginalize all Native Americans, including my part Mohawk wife.
Please try to get perspective.
It's interesting that native Americans didn't have names for their tribes until the Europeans gave them names. Didn't know that.
