Hexenherz 05/10/17 5:34:24 PM #17:	I understand why both the name and the team logo are offensive, but for some reason I am less offended by the name than the image itself. I think it's because throughout history groups have been called derogatory names but then they've taken ownership of it and turned it into something positive, but the picture is just a straight up offensive caricature of a stereotype. So... yeah. <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:878849385] in The "...
