Support (Pros)
Many people think that these names are just mascots and that they are not trying to discriminate.
Some say that the mascots were made to honor the Native Americans.
People believe that since the mascots, logos, and teams have been around for so long, that even if some people do feel like it is
discriminative towards a certain race, they have a special history with that goes along with them, meaning that they don’t believe that they should be changed.
Against (Cons)
People think that these mascots are racist toward certain ethnic groups.
The NCAI states that Native Americans are people, not mascots.
If people feel offended by these teams, they feel like they should be able to get them to change their logos, names, etc.
