Yeah Redskins & Redmen is a big yikes.Some of these I can see why a school isn’t eager to change. Warriors, etc. but schools still using red men? YIKES.
The fact that Wintersville and Mingo went from Warriors and Indians into the Indian Creek Redskins really just... Didn't read the room.Yeah Redskins & Redmen is a big yikes.
Warriors is another one that falls into “not all Warrior mascots is NA-related.” Handful of Christian schools use it in the context of ‘fighting to preserve faith.’
So we have 2 "woke" Democrat "lawmakers" putting this forth. Do we now bow down to these bun wearing left winging he/shes or its ? Stand your ground people otherwise someday they will come for you !!!!AUGUST 11, 2021

Is the town called “Redskin?”Are the towns, townships, rivers, and counties next? Wapakoneta Redskins? Both town and nickname.
Don’t get offended by racial slurs like redmen? Interesting take.Bunch of BS. Here is an idea, just don't get offended by trivial stuff.
Reactionary legislature would pounce as soon as that happened. Probably best to just let it play out. They will be gone eventually.Unlikely to pass anyways, IMO.
Far from a fan of most Native American imagery and caricatures these days. But if a community / school board is unwilling to change it themselves, being given orders from Columbus isn’t going to change their opinions on the matter even if the mascots are changed.
The most pragmatic proposal is likely to just get pressure on the OHSAA to eschew using mascots of participating schools come tournament time and promotional/media materials.
Yeah, don't get offended - it's not that hard. And it's only a racial slur if you see it that way. Interesting take.Don’t get offended by racial slurs like redmen? Interesting take.
It's not intended as a slur, it's actual intent is to honor. The American Indians aren't complaining, why should you ?Don’t get offended by racial slurs like redmen? Interesting take.
American Indians are in fact complaining about terms like redmen and redskins. Over 500 tribes have asked for such terms to stop being used.It's not intended as a slur, it's actual intent is to honor. The American Indians aren't complaining, why should you ?
That’s completely differentAre the towns, townships, rivers, and counties next? Wapakoneta Redskins? Both town and nickname. Shawnee Indians. Both township and nickname. Ottawa River. Village of Ottawa. Ottawa County. Seneca County and almost half the schools have NA nicknames. Stop the insanity, this is getting ridiculous!
Girard Girardians.Our nickname is Girard Indians but we’ve changed most everything to a Georgia G logo. There are a few indian images still used in a few places which are based on an old photo of a Native American. It’s not a clip art kind of cartoonish image. An effort has been made to avoid anything offensive. I would hope it’s acceptable but it is what it is. View attachment 20067
