I just read a scholarly work titles "Where’s The Honor? Attitudes Toward the ‘Fighting Sioux’ Nickname and Logo" for my sociology class over at rvcc, and i don't think people understand. like ok, i understand that some teams have names that cause controversy because they can be considered racist, but c'mon, seriously? In the article, it describes a college whose mascot is "A Fighting Sioux". Like, is that really offensive? If anything, thats honorable to have a team representing your tribe. If a football team was named "The New Jersey Caucasians", i'd be damned proud!
P.S. Why don't tall people complain about the New York Giants?!?!!?!
