This actually reminds me why I don't see a problem with some names and logos. Franchises aren't trying to name their teams this way today. You look at the Redskins and they were named in 1936 after a name change from Braves. Even reading more about the Redskins name and it was changed to that to honor the bravery and fight that this group showed back in that time. The list goes on and on with these names that we would find offensive if a team were to name it today but that's not the case. There are names that are 50-100 years old and it seems for the most part the groups that are supposed to be offended aren't.
