I agree that this issue is not a very big one. When we are watching sports we are not thinking about how the Cleveland Indians are mocking Native American culture. We are consumed in the game and not the meaning behind the nickname. If anything, teams with Native American nicknames are at least given a positive view of Native Americans for being great warriors and honoring a rich tradition. If there were no Native American nicknames we would never here about Native Americans. The only thing we would talk about is there poverty and alcohol problems. Now would that be honoring Natives?
