Is it more or less offensive if they keep the name, but change their logo to Apu from The Simpsons?

I'm an Indian male that doesn't find Apu offensive. He's actually one of my favorite Simpsons characters.

Offensive jokes should at least be clever and funny.

More washing away of Indian heritage and making people think they only run casinos. This name change is stupid.

SHHHHH!!!

The one person who was super offended about Apu, determines how how Indian people think. Fall in line or you too are a bigot

Stories like this are getting really fucking tired because they never make an announcement with the new name theyre changing to.

Like, if you're changing the name, great. But if you don't know what you're changing it to, don't make a big deal out of it.

So long as they scrap any and all imagery related to that awful mascot, there's nothing wrong with a team calling themselves chiefs IMO.

Blackhawks is pretty much unsalvageable.

Braves should be changed anyway so I never have to hear that shit chanting ever again.

Seminoles is gone too, but the others are safe. It's only references to native American culture that need to be erased currently.

Maybe one day, all sports teams will just be "(city name) (sport) team", that way there will never again be any chance of someone getting offended.

Some people are really mad that racial stereotypes are being removed from sports team names and iconography
