NoiseInsideMyHead Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 I'm in favor of letting teams decide their own fate vis-a-vis nicknames and logos.

The Sicatoka Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Quote The lack of intelligent conservatives in sports, or at least their relative shyness about their ideas, also allows progressive sportswriters to advance ideas without challenge, sometimes all the way into dead ends. Take the debate about Native American mascots in logos. Of course it makes perfect sense to remove or alter any logos that offend people. But all mascots are reductive caricatures. Was the problem that the logos were offensive or that there is so little representation of Native Americans in our culture that their presence as mascots seems mocking by default? Has no one stopped to notice there is something odd about an anti-racism that will cause an evermore diverse country to declare rooting for white-faced mascots the only safe thing to do? How will this deletion of all non-white faces look in 50 years? Expand http://theweek.com/articles/680886/arrogant-thinking-liberal-sports-writers Quote
