First Washington, Now Cleveland
Re: First Washington, Now Cleveland
Right now nothing; there are the USC Trojans and the Michigan State Spartans, not to mention the Minnesota Vikings. There are also US groups like the Dallas Cowboy, San Francisco 49ers, Oklahoma Sooners, even the Nebraska Cornhuskers. I haven't heard anyone complaining, but maybe there is?

Many of the tribes refer to themselves as Indian Nations. Some nations have license tags which are often seen here. http://www.worldlicenseplates.com/usa/AI_OKCH.html


People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

I'm guessing that "The New York Nazis" wouldn't go over very well!liberty wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 3:56 amWhat would be wrong with using European savage warriors as mascots? Spartans, Romans, and various German and Celtic tribes would make a lot to from which to choose. When it comes to fierce, savage warriors, my euro ancestors made others look like pussies in comparison.

There are MANY Kansas high schools that use Indian or Indian themed mascots. Here is a list compiled by The Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence KS: http://www.theindianleader.com/2020/12/ ... h-schools/
Some districts are discussing name changes. Others are not.
