The issue is that in the particular case of native-themed names, people are standing up and saying they
are offended.
I like the Blackhawks name, jersey, and logo, but the entire tradition and history of any sports team means exactly NOTHING when compared to the suffering and subjugation of any single human, let alone an entire race of humans.
I would be in favour of not only changing the name of the Blackhawks, but of re-engraving the Stanley Cup to retroactively effect the name-change.
