I'm going to repost this. As I feel it helps explain why that's incorrect.

Names such as "Chiefs" or "Natives" (Indians as well, that extent) invoke only imagery of the ethnic group themselves. It's not trying to sell an ideology with it.
An example would be the difference between calling a team "The Romans" and "The Guido's". "Romans" would be nothing more than calling back to a historical mythology. "Guido's" send a racist message about the certain group.
Does that clear that issue?
