There have been some arguments going on about schools and teams using Native Americans as their mascots; some think it's an honor, but others think it's an insult and a stereotypical remark towards the tribe and culture. Alot of schools have had to change their names and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on new uniforms, posters, clothing, etc.
I really think that this argument isn't really that big of a deal and it shouldn't matter what your mascot is. It isn't a stereo type... it's just a mascot! I just don't understand why this is such a big deal all of a sudden. It's just another way to spend money and complain about a stupid thing. some of these schools have had the mascots for over 80 years... now they have to drop what they're doing and worry about this?! it's just dumb.
