Please explain how the team name being simply "Indians" is offensive, considering how no one aside the SJWs and people supporting the PC culture is upset about it? If the team name "Indians" was offensive to the native americans, you'd see uproar and criticism from them, not the over-privileged lefties whining about a football team because "muh oppression!!!"
Oh if you mention any polls and graphs and such, please provide sources. The burden of proof is on you for that, not us.

It's not really offensive, it's just confusing. Indians are people from India, who have not a whole lot of relations with Native Americans, eh? If there's a rallying uproar, it's to make sure the terms get used correctly.
Køtt:
im personally a bit native american and i've uncommonly seen people call native americans indians
and even so i don't really care
i personally don't see much wrong with the video, at least message and video wise it wasn't pepsi ad levels of obnoxious

Yea, it's 2.8k likes / 2.4k dislikes. That means *despite* all the brigading you guys are causing most people like the video. Imagine what percent that would be if you guys weren't brigading? 90%? 100%? You're generating outrage because you're bored.

I feel like 'virtue signalling' is a new excuse for crybabies to complain about content with a different opinion than them. Funny cause this is the party that hates Tumblr for doing the same thing
