The other thing to me is I rarely hear anyone championing the causes for Native Americans that will actually impact their lives. You have unemployment, drug addiction, education issues, and a myriad of other problems plaguing Native American communities and granted I know you can chew bubble gum and walk at the same time so you can want the name changed and still champion causes for Native Americans but all mainly hear is how racist the name is and it should be changed.

To me it's like walking up to a starving homeless person and telling him "Good news. We got everyone to stop calling you a hobo since it's offensive." and than walking away.

Whilst I completely agree that Native Americans need help with their problems, I am not sure how having a billionaire owning a team of professional footballers, and calling them by a relatively derogatory name, is actually helping them.

I recommend you use their strategy for stopping immigration to stop cancel culture.

I guarantee that we aren't as irritated by that as we are by "woke" people pretending that we are as thin-skinned as everyone else and need to be protected by those white knights of virtue.

This is a bunch of virtue signaling by white people.

I've yet to see Native Americans speaking out against the name - where are those reports? Where is the outcry, from non-whites?

Most polls I've seen show Native Americans being supportive / not offended. But of course these polls are immediately discounted by the snowflake crowd.

Norte Dame Fighting Irish....where is the outrage there?

Now at least you can't say you haven't seen any Native American's speaking out against the name ...
