If you’ve seen recent baseball playoff games in Atlanta, you’ve heard the Braves fans loudly doing their Indian war chant — another obvious example.
If you’ll recall, Miami University in Oxford dropped the “Redskins” moniker several years ago and became the “RedHawks” — in order to avoid offending American Indians. Should other sports teams follow suit?
Do these names offend you? Or do you think this is just an example of unnecessary political correctness? Please share your thoughts with me — with an email to mwilliams@coxohio.com.
