"I think we're in a day and age in this country where it's time for both corporations and team sports to retire the use of Native American names, images and mascots from their products, team jerseys and sports in general. I'm sure this comes from a place that is well-intended, but it does not honor us by having our name plastered on the side of a car," Chuck Hoskin, Jr., principal chief of the Cherokee Nation said in a written statement.“

The New York Jets will be next

Why - jets have a large carbon-foot-print - and that of course is ... racist

I wonder when the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, a literal ethnic stereotype, will get woke.

The latest defense budget required the Army to rename all of its bases currently named for Confederate generals. Next up will be renaming the Army's helicopters, all of which have native American names: UH-60 Black Hawk, CH-47 Chinook, AH-64 Apache. No longer flying (for the Army): UH-1 Iroquois (more commonly known as the Huey) and OH-58 Kiowa. The Army claims the names are tributes to native Americans, but everyone knows its really racism. The only one I can think of without a native American name is the AH-1 Cobra. But that name is speciest.

If all of these things were only named after white people or white groups then they would still complain.

Yeah, the tribes honor themselves by plastering their names on casinos... Chuck is a dumb fuck.

I smell a money grab. Jeep won’t rename its vehicles - but they could pay the Native Americans a royalty for each offensively named vehicle. I’m sure that will lessen their upset.

The chiefs and warriors were tributes to tough fighting people and designed to elicit fear. The fighting Rabbis didn't have the same impact. The simple fact is that weak, second class people fixate on words and successful first rate people fixate on actions. Read an article on what the black community expects from the Vice - President, took the article 3 paragraphs to explain that its: FREE MONEY.

Boston Celtics babeeeeee. Shamrocks and a winking leprechaun. If we were some weak, pathetic losers from a different whiny community we'd be upset.

@skibum,
Boston Celtics (like Notre Dame Fighting Irish) are a walking stereotype
Boston Bruins is species-ist, how dare they appropriate the bravery and ferocity of bears?
New England Patriots is jingoistic and retrograde
Boston Red Sox mock everyone who wears gaudy Christmas socks. Or the British.

Norse descendant here. I've even given thought to changing my screen name to reflect it but then I'd have to cancel myself. :D

@cash “I smell a money grab. Jeep won’t rename its vehicles - but they could pay the Native Americans a royalty for each offensively named vehicle.”

You may be right with this, but is it a bad thing? Isn’t this just a property dispute? If anyone owns the name “Cherokee” isn’t it the tribe? They are their own nation. Shouldn’t they get a share of the profits made off using their property? John Madden gets money from the video games, why not the Cherokees?

No one owns the name Cherokee. Not trademarked or subject to trademark.

How come people from Ireland don't get fired up about Notre Dame ? Heck, the Irish embrace it. They root for the Fighting Irish.

The Redskins will now be the Oath Keepers.
The Indians will now be the Militia.
The Braves will now be the Kluckers.
The White Sox will become the White Hoods.
The Reds will become the Commies (actually they were the Red Legs during the Red Scare of the 50's).
Jeep will rename the Grand Cherokee the Grand Knight. The Cherokee will become the Redneck.
The FSU Seminoles will become the Trailer Park Trash.

That should make everyone happy.

At this rate the solution will have to be no mascots, no "cultural appropriation". Only the "Boston basketball team". The "Cleveland baseball team". The "Kansas city football team".

"Jeep will rename the Grand Cherokee the Grand Knight." Or Grand Wizard.

Quite possibly what needs to happen to get the "woke" people to wake up

Buffalo Bills are next on the chopping-block

Why? b/c the name "bills" reminds financially-struggling minorities of their overdue-bills and of course making minorities pay bills is a form of white-supremacy
