there ARE numerous sports teams that have groups of traditionally white people as their mascot.
College:
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Purdue Boilermakers
Oklahoma Sooners
USC Trojans
Nebraska Cornhuskers
West Virginia Mountaineers
Professional:
Dallas Cowboys
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
New York Yankees
Boston Celtics
there AREN'T any protests against these names.
What baffles me most is that they are protesting against names like Braves, Warriors, Seminoles etc. These all have positive and courageous attachments to them. Were I to call someone a Brave or a Warrior, I would be giving them a compliment.
