I think that the use of Native Americans as a team mascot shouldn't be allowed for sports teams. It is not only incredibly racist, but it objectifies a whole nationality and tries to justify demeaning them. I don't understand how it is acceptable to have Native Americans as a mascot, but not other races. If this was done with a mascot of black or asian decent, it would be a national contraversy. Instead, it is cheered on and loved nationwide. A big arguement against it is that the use of Indians is "a compliment to their speed and genius at being warriors." This, however, is nothing more than a stereotype being enforced. It is demoralizing to Indian tribes for their names to be used as a sports logo or tradition, and I think it shouldn't be allowed.
