I didn't say that I agreed with it but I'm willing to bet there will be a group out there who will agree with it. I mean that there will always be a group of people who are offended over something.

And as for the use of the Native American imagery, they're not being used in an insulting way, they're not mocking any hardships that the Native Americans have endured, they're doing the opposite. Those images are being used as a sense of pride.

If the logo was a white guy taking away a Native Americans land, I'd say that's offensive. The logos are just an image of a Native American and I honestly find it funny that people are so offended by it. I think the Notre Dame "Fighting Irish" is more offensive than any other logos as it's essentially saying that all Irishmen are violent...
