So the UND Fighting Sioux is offensive because it degrades its namesake, the Sioux, and Native American in general.
But the Elon Fighting Christians was offensive because it exalted its namesake, and was thus insensitive to non Christians.
Just like the Ole Miss Rebels was offensive because it paid homage to its namesake, and thus, the confederacy, and thus slavery. Had to go 3 degrees on that one.
While any team named Warriors disparages its namesake, and thus indirectly, native Americans.
Got it?
So was Paul Brown insult himself when he named the Cleveland Browns?
I know Bob Johnson did, when he named his NBA franchise after himself. But I don’t think that was intentional.
