As a 'card holding' Native American, I simply do not understand how organizations, such as the National Coalition on Racism in Sports and Media, view Native mascots as a negative.
I'm pretty sure every athletic club, from elementary school through professional level teams, is very proud of who they are and what they are named.
...as far as I'm concerned...just another group of people with nothing better to do...
...now, where did I put my fire-water?
