The native logos certainly were not.

Do you see a difference?
Who cares? Just because some random Irish organization created it doesn't mean that all Irish people would not be offended by it. The point is there is always someone who is sitting around being offended by something.

I'll guess that most everyday native indians couldn't care less about their image on sports brands, but again this is 2013 where me must cater to every vocal minority who complains about something....and the media gives them a stage to do so.

I'm not saying that political correctness is completely invalid, but to me the pendulum has swung too far the other way to the point where people want to ban a beautiful original 6 jersey in the name of pc. Myself and others in this thread have seen many natives around wearing Blackhawks/Redskins jerseys.
