I've seen this brought up a few times for weeks now. If this movement wanting a football team name change doesn't approach Oklahoma about changing their racist name then I'll be really disappointed. They could at least request the University of Oklahoma to make the change.
- sthu11182 12y agoI don't think a significant portion of Native Americans find "Oklahoma" to be racist. (based on a guess, not based on any studies) The point of the ruling was a significant portions of Native Americans found "redskins" to be derogatory at the time the team chose the name all the way to today. I think people arguing today that "redskins" is offensive is based on the fact that a significant portion of Native Americans do think it is offensive today and not based on etymology alone.
