“...it’s the Seminoles who make those foam tomahawks for Atlanta Braves games. They’re not “offended”.

“Seminole” and “braves” are not racial epithets! Neither are Chippewas (CMU), or Indians (Cleveland!) Although the Cleveland mascot is clearly a caricaturization of an Indian and could certainly be taken as offensive! These teams were formed and these names given when racial epithets and racial segregation were the norm in this country. It’s time these last vestiges of racist identification were abandoned!

Let’s make it simple & just spell “Redskins” backwards.

The “Washington Niksders”. Kinda funky....
