Why was it past time to make the change? It's utterly stupid.
Redskins was grossly offensive.
Indians? Come on. It's utterly ridiculous.
Better change the Fighting Irish, Highlanders, Vikings, Celtics, Knicks, Yankees, Canucks, Canadiens, etc....
Gotta change em all now. No ethnicity allowed.
Bunch of sweet shit this nonsense has become
Right, the Irish people there gave themselves that name.The Fighting Irish was (and still kind of is) the sports club representing the Irish-American and Catholic American communities.

The mascot was racist, the name Indians isnt racist-periodI will repeat — there is no way the Indians could walk Chief Wahoo back to “respecting the culture”.
Could the logos above be interpreted as respecting the culture, or at worst an in-joke among the people OF that culture? Yes they could.
Some people would argue that any mascot depicting a group of people is inherently problematic. I wouldn’t make that argument. Hell, I’ll even go to bat for the Blackhawks. But the Indians and Chief Wahoo were just blatant, blatant racism and there’s no other serious interpretation to be considered.
It could only have existed in a society where a bit of “light racism” was viewed as not-problematic. We are no longer living in that society.
Oh. You said period. Guess we'll have to tell all of those Native Americans they are wrong.The mascot was racist, the name Indians isnt racist-period
I have no idea how to feel about that.
FTFYOh. You said period. Guess we'll have to tell all of those uppity liberal white people they are wrong.
What exactly did you fix? Disliking racist terms makes an uppity liberal? Does that make you a racist conservative?FTFY
It's insane to change the name of a team that has offended native americans for decades? I'd hate to live in your worldInsanity apparently knows no bounds these days.
