ORIGINAL: dcnovice FR I wouldn't put it past Danny Boy. I mean it would be quite brilliant, as the Commie Indians get lock jaw because the Washington DC football helmets would be empty or perhaps a featherless yellow and white circle. While officially the mascot is a potato. Meanwhile all the proud American Indian imagery would be gone but the fans would have their colors, their name, their history. Meanwhile, the other Indian Groups, the ones without a problem with the name, in fact, many Indian groups who support DC's team (And there are many many many that do) will just have to live without the celebration of the heritage and association they themselves so welcomed and enjoyed. And think of it, it will set a good example for all the High School and College teams named Braves, Warriors, Chiefs... Away with the Native American symbols and embracing Zulu or Maasai Braves as their new Mascots. Celtic Chieftains anyone? Or how about Samurai and Grecian Warriors? Every vestige of Native American culture can be stripped from Sports, at least in the United States. How about that?
