The other day we had the discussion of whether or not it is okay to name a sports team or mascot after a ethnicity. I believe that is depending on the circumstance. If a team is naming themselves something that is connected to a certain ethnicity and does not portray them correctly or in a negative light, then I don't think it is appropriate. In a case like this I can see why many people would find it offensive. However in other cases (like the Florida Seminoles) I feel that it is perfectly okay. In cases like these, when the team is doing it out of honor and respect. Personally I don't think that would be offensive and I see no problem with it.
