Also, repeating over and over how it's "common sense" that a sports team called Redskins is a terrible thing and other people just don't understand doesn't actually make any of it true.
I really don't see a big difference to a team called Canucks. Yes, there is a difference, but I don't see a big difference.
And you know what is really racist behaviour by the way? A bunch of whiteys claiming they can speak for every other race and be the judges of what is offensive what is not. White supremacy complex at it's worst. Unless I missed something, there is zero proof in this thread that the native American in significant numbers, or any numbers actually, find these team names offensive. Just a bunch of white people talking to each other about stuff that isn't really up to them.

You should read the actual thread then, the whole thread was started with an article about how Native Americans want the names changed, so there are obviously some numbers that feel that way. So to answer your query, you did miss something.
