In what way, to you, is that Irish caricature offensive in the way that the Redskins name is offensive to Natives (as it is a visibly racist term)?
I'm saying that the complainers don't necessarily represent the interest of the majority of their group.....and that we should stop empowering grandstanding complainers.

I am aware that my observations are anecdotal, but it is pointing out the obvious; that a certain portion (maybe a majority portion) of natives are not in fact offended by these sports logos, and actually like them.
