I do love how PC snowflakes feel the need to take up for a group that largely views the entire name thing as a non-issue. Numerous polls have been done among Native American groups and as a whole they have no issue with the name.
My HS are the Redskins and fortunately they haven’t caved yet. My college are the Bullets, some even think that’s offensive. We’ve gotten to the point you can’t say or do anything without hurting someone’s inner child.
