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.
What evidence do you have to support that claim? The 10 year old study posted earlier with the unclear questions? Your own personal experience? I know if there was a team called the "Calgary Wops" which existed for the past 100 years, there's no way I'd support that name out of "tradition" or "recognition"
