I don’t think that sports teams should use Native Americans as mascots. It is often offensive to Native Americans and their culture and they should start making the change. I think there are some names that are more offensive than others. Considering the Chiefs, although it still is not right that they use someone else’s culture as a symbol of their team, this one seems less offensive and was maybe actually used as honor to their culture when they first put the name in place. Where it becomes offensive for this team is when the fans and mascot start dressing and acting as Native Americans
One of the most offensive names is the Redskins, this name has almost always been a derogatory term towards Native Americans, and people still use it in an offensive way. The Redskins should be one of the first teams that should change their name.
Native Americans would protest the use of their culture as a sports mascot because they were simply mocking them. Even if these teams claim that is not their intent, when they bring all the fans out and put on a little show with their mascot it turns into something bad.
I think the reason teams and their fans refuse to change their mascot is because they have developed an attachment to the name and the characters they’ve created for the games. They basically worship their team and mascot, but it’s often done in a way that’s offensive. They have created costumes and followed the team for years and don’t want to change that. In a way they kind of back up the way the Native Americans feel, they would be getting a piece of their culture ripped from their lives, although they have no right to feel this way.
I think the teams that use Native Americans as mascots should have to change their mascot. Even if they don’t intend to be offensive, they still come across that way and it wouldn’t be that hard to make the change. Other teams use animals as mascots, not a culture, it really doesn’t make sense why this was started. The only instance where I find it okay to have a Native American as a mascot is when the school is predominantly Native American, this way they are actually doing it for honor. Native American’s deserve to be respected and have the mascots changed.
