Seneca Guardians?

This year, all HS teams in NY will not be able to use Indians, Chiefs, Braves, Warriors, Redskins, et al.

You would think if the town/state was already named after a tribe or chief they would get a bye on the name change. Or maybe the place should be renamed also. The South of Joplin Rapscallions…

Hell ya I bet MoSports has a lot of great nuanced and reasonable takes about this one.

I am waiting for PETA and other Animal Rights Groups to get involved and go after Animal Mascots. Think about Scandinavians and Irish going after Vikings and Fighting Irish.

I would go after the geological anomalies. Tigers....where? Trojans outside of Europe...come on! Dragons...in this realm??

I know Osage told them to get bent when asked about changing the mascot

 

[WFBuckely]

They should switch from Indians to Injuns.

If MO had a High School mascot CHEROKEES I would go all in (Grandpa on Mom's side of family was full blood). In all seriousness this is all so silly.

Wow glad the Meadowlands are in Jersey. Were the Jets still in NYC would they bar Kansas City from playing there?

Cherokee, IA there the braves

The NY state government will withhold funding for the high schools that don't comply. Don't think that would bother the NFL.

Town of Savannah told the politically correct people complaining to go f*ck themselves

 

[panther72]

Not exactly. Savannah kept the name but are doing away with the Native American imagery. Now the mascot is an S with claw marks across it.

Yeah, but the way he said it sounds so much cooler and rebellious and edgy!

 

[revno]

..almost, pantherlike!

 

[thesnowflakegazette]

Back in the 90s Pacific considered changing their mascot to the Panthers. Surprised nothing has come from that.

There are only 7 opinions (at any given time) that matter. It doesn't matter what The Town thinks.

Yep. Town said they didn't want to change. School board compromised with new logo but kept the name.

Chiefs, Braves, Warriors I don't know that any of those names are insulting to Native Americans, and yes I am native American, I don't even know that I find the use of Indians offensive, and if forced to change I guess they could change thier mascot to a person with a headset and thier war cry could be "you have reached customer service, How may I help you".
But really I think some common sense can be applied here and we all can figure out what is a derogatory name and mascot.
I mean look at the Dallas "Cowboys", I am sure real cowboys are insulted...

I think my earlier point is we have far, far bigger issues in today's World than worrying about sports teams mascots.
