Absolutely not.

However, during the 60's the NCAI, Nations Congress of American Indians created a campaign to eliminate negative stereotyping of Native American people. They have long been opposed to mascots that portray Indians in a negative light. Names like Redskins, Braves, and Seminoles are believed to demean their native traditions.

The saga has continued to the highest court in the land finally making a ruling. I look for it to be an issue of contention as long as there's an ear to hear.

Supreme Court won't rule on racist NFL team name
