  17. Yes, the name "Redskins" is widely considered offensive, particularly by many Native Americans, and has been a source of controversy for decades. The term is viewed as a racial slur and a derogatory term for Native Americans, and its use as a sports team name has been protested by Native American groups and activists. Here's why it's offensive: Historical Context: The term "Redskins" is rooted in a history of violence and discrimination against Native Americans, including the practice of offering bounties for the scalps of Native Americans. Racial Slur: Many consider "Redskins" to be a racial slur, similar to other derogatory terms for racial groups, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. Impact on Native Americans: Studies have shown that the name can negatively impact the self-esteem and identity of Native American individuals, especially youth, according to a UC Berkeley study. Perpetuates Stereotypes: The use of "Redskins" as a sports team name perpetuates harmful stereotypes and reinforces negative imagery of Native Americans, says the National Congress of American Indians.

  20. The Cleveland Indians changed their name to the Guardians due to decades of criticism surrounding the "Indians" name and the "Chief Wahoo" logo for being culturally insensitive and offensive to Native Americans. The decision to change the name was also influenced by the national conversation around racial justice and the removal of offensive mascots and team names following the death of George Floyd. Here's a more detailed explanation: Decades of Criticism: The Cleveland Indians had faced increasing criticism and protests for decades regarding their name and the "Chief Wahoo" logo, which were seen as perpetuating harmful stereotypes and caricatures of Native Americans. Pressure from Native American Groups: Native American groups and activists had been advocating for a name change for a long time, arguing that the name and logo were disrespectful and demeaning to their culture and heritage.
