American Indians Complain
« on: October 18, 2007, 10:57:36 AM »
In case you are not a baseball fan, American Indians are at it again.  Because the Clevland Indians are 1 win away from the World Series, American Indians are protesting again over Clevland's logo for their baseball team.  A red-faced Indain in a baseball uniform batting.  Do you think that the team should change it's name and dump their logo?  What are your views?

I used to think that they shouldn't give in to that kind of pressure.
Like St. John's University did.
Now I say remove them!
I think they shouldn't have the honor or privilege of being used on a logo as a symbol of strength.

Not to worry.  I'm sure if the Indians don't make the World Series, now that football season is under way, they can petition again to change the Washington Redskins to the Washington Native Americans.

These Native Americans should feel complimented. Why are they harassing them? If they are smart they would ask for royalties too.

;D I think you've hit upon something.  Royalties for the use of Indian, Brave, Redskin...tax free, of course, since they are their own nations.
