But isn't there a difference between say the Red Skins and Braves? Indians and Blackhawks? Can you no longer refer to a culture/people at all?
I'm Irish ... but the Celtics and Fighting Irish don't bother me, and honestly the Irish logo is about as caricature as you can get!
What about the Vikings? Trojans? Dallas Cowboys? Closer to home ... Canucks?
Apologies if I've offended anyone with any of that ... certainly not my intent.

I don't think people have a huge problem with the name Braves or Indians (I think this is preferred nomenclature in the U.S.) but the Indians logo is offensive as hell and I believe the Braves have dropped this logo:
The issue with the Braves and/or Chiefs is the Tomahawk Chop.
