I think it would be more of offensive to not even have them in any capacity in your media or sports landscape at all. Not every portrayal of Native American culture has to be seen as appropriation or negative either. Sure there can be some engagement with Native American community leaders to see what the most sensible and inoffensive way is to portray the culture or symbolism. But to say that Native American symbolism or culture shouldnt be used at all is a bit silly. I know its not as sensitive but where do you draw the line? Are we going to stop Michigan from using the Spartans because its offensive to Greeks? I think this is fine personally, I wouldnt want to see portrayal of indigenous culture removed from media altogether. If its such an issue then yeah deal with it more tactfully --- *walks away* ...
