Reader, 6-min July 2020 video: "Native American leader reacts to Redskins' name change"
There's been controversy for a long time over the "Braves" name for a baseball team. Generally, someone will bring the matter up, it'll be news for awhile, and then it goes away. :)
Relatedly, per Wikipedia: "In 1972, Russell Means filed a $9 million lawsuit against the Cleveland Indians for their use of "Chief Wahoo."[4] Means also objected to the Braves use of Chief Noc-A-Homa.[4] Means said "What if was the Atlanta Germans and after every home run a German dressed in military uniform began hitting a Jew on the head with a baseball bat?"[4] Means was unaware that Chief Noc-A-Homa was portrayed by a Native American.[5] For a week, controversy raged.[5] Walker went on radio talk shows to defend Noc-A-Homa. Walker said "I think Indians can be proud that their names are used with professional sports teams.[5] Ultimately Noc-A-Homa survived the controversy.[5]
