Could be worse. Until 1980, the Pekin Il high school teams were the Chinks. (We're already in SC, right?)

Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

"The All Whites?"

Cleveland Indians?

Browns?

Legend has it that the Cleveland Indians were so named to honor Louis Sockalexis, supposedly the first Native American to play professional baseball. Some say the story is true, some say it is not.
Is it racist? That depends on whether one wants it to be.

The Browns are named after their first coach, Paul Brown, who was a former Ohio State football coach.
Not a racist name in any way unless you neglect it's origins.

HAMMER:
Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a
kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the
object we are trying to hit.

Most if not all were named to give honor
The left just dont see it that way

And
cant keep the industry going if one tries to understand

Chiefs?

Seminoles (Florida State), though they did get the blessing from the Seminole tribe after the fact. Would not be surprised because of the success they had in football under Bobby Bowden. It used to be a girls' college.

It's still a girls football team.

Hell yes it is. They refused to join the SEC conference when they had the opportunity. Too tough for them. Bunch of sissies.

Yup, Florida State cooperated (probably $$$) with the Seminoles, so they were OK.

Meanwhile, in Illinois, the higher ups did no such thing and instead retired the Chief.

Then you have the University of South Carolina Gamecocks.

There's a picture somewhere of a female USC fan wearing a shirt that said "I LOVE COCKS".

Skymama said something along those lines in the Bonfire once.

Now all we need is to get Skymama to wear one of those shirts and take a picture!
