I can see how the logo could be taken as racist.

Those PC folks are just trying to sweep the Native peoples under the rug altogether. Keep them unseen and forgotten. I think that teams that remember these people in their mascots are actually doing them a service by tribute. Really, how often would we utter the word Indian or Brave or Redskin or Chief without these teams? Next to never.
