The Baltimore Sun - There were 27 American Indians attending the recent Democratic National Convention as delegates. That is a record... [they have a platform and are redoubling their] efforts to stop sports teams from using what the Indians regard as demeaning songs and titles [And names such as the Redskins, Indians, Braves - trying to get them to change their names the way Stanford did, who are now the Thunder-chickens.]
however the pro teams argue they have too much investment in their old names to throw them away. Nor will they stop using mascots dressed as the American Indians of old dressed. The nearest things to a victory the Indians have won in the pro sports world came this week [Washington Redskins changed their son lyrics - eliminating scalping references.]
