I've always viewed it as an honor. From a kid growing up to now this old cracker has always admired and respected Native American tradition and lore.

Even though the issue is in the courts, due to an activist group, SI did a survey in which 87% of American Indians [off of Indian reservations] do not object to Native American nicknames and/or mascots being used by schools and sports teams. Of those [On the reservations] 67% do not object.
Some see it as an honor.
Among [tribes] who embrace it are the Arapahoe, the Seminole, the Chippewa and the Apache.

....but it all boils down to what the courts say.


Shut up.

Didn't see the survey, but I wonder if the respondents made a distinction on which nicknames they considered to be an honor. Perhaps, as a for instance, they viewed terms like "Chiefs," "Braves," and "Warriors," in one way, and "Redskins," in another.

Screw the Native Americans. I'm offended by the use of the term "munchkin."
