My alma mater has renamed their sports teams "redbirds".

BTW: The LSU football team had a defensive squad nicknamed the "Chinese Bandits". The Chinese part was dropped many years ago.

They should have changed it to the Intelligent, Hard working, Law abiding and Non-violent Bandits.
Hong Kong Chinese immigrants are intelligent, hard working, law abiding and non-violent. Many of them also come to Canada with money.

REDMEN had NOTHING to do with slagging Indians sorry First Nations people. It was derived from their football team uniforms which were all RED pants jerseys etc. Maybe the hockey teams too but not sure.

Many people agree with you, but there were a number of complaints and a lot of people spent a lot of time looking into how to remedy the problem. The announcement of the new name came out today.

Super Bowl champ, star offensive lineman, doctor and humanitarian Laurent Duvernay-Tardif was a Redbird. He skipped this year's NFL season so he could continue his work of helping COVID victims.

Oh just wait 50 years
Then we will have indigenous complaints about why no teams named after Indians

We have other groups like Padres and Yankees and Patriots and Rangers and Aviators and Celtics and Warriors and Texans and Vikings and...
But what about the Indians?

No wonder they do not go to Uni they are so under represented there
I have yet to meet a Nordic person crying about Viking stereotypes or Texans complaints at their caricatures


Mark it on your calendars and watch

It's the activist athletes vs the guy who actually sacrificed his year to physically work on the front lines.

That's an easy decision for me........But wokeness will emerge you watch.
