Politically Incorrect Teams and Logos


Over the past 20 years or so there has been a sudden increase in a call for teams to have "politically correct" team names and logos. The main reason behind this would be the many team names and logos referring to Native Americans or Native American Tribes. Many large professional teams, including the Washington Redskins, Chicago Blackhawks, and the Cleveland Indians, have names and/or logos that could easily be construed as offensive to Native Americans and those of Native American descent. Native American team names and logos are not the only ones that are being changed though. As I will show, many team names and logos across the country have been criticized and changed as of late.
