It's one thing to celebrate with a caricature of your own heritage. Many Vikings fans have Scandinavian heritage. Native mascots are different because the owners and fans were certainly not Natives. In fact, back when these teams started in a lot of cases Natives weren't even allowed in the stadiums.
