Native Americans

The Washington Redskins face opponents on and off the field. The NFL team the Redskins, people say that there name and Mascot are racist. People say it’s offensive and have targeted the team with Lawsuits. The Redskins have gotten stripped of their trademark. Because of their offensive name and mascot. About 900 sports teams across the U.S still use Native american names. I think sport racism is related to human right number six.

I think this article is related to human right number six. My thoughts are that they should not treat Native Americans that way, because sports teams only have Native American mascots and not other races. Some Native Americans tribes like sports teams having Native American. “ In Florida, the Seminole tribe granted permission to Florida State University to keep using Seminole name.” This supports my thesis because it shows two sides of using Native American names for sport teams.
