In response to the debate of
whether sports teams should be allowed to use Native American tribes as their logos,
I think that this should only be the case when the tribe approves so. For
example while reading the article in class, there was sports team, with which
the Indian tribe gave approval for them to be used as a logo. I think this
showed respect for the tribe’s people and therefore left no room for racism.
Also I think that by the team seeking approval from the tribe for the logo,
shows respect. For those who argue that they shouldn’t be able to use the logo because
it leaves room for stereotypes and racism, I think that if the Indians are ok
with being the logo, shows that they are don’t think that there is any bad will
behind it. I think all sports teams should seek approval, from the Native Americans.
Native Americans being the faces of these strong, champions, athletic teams, represent
the strength of these tribes; therefore I think Indians would be proud to be
associated with these teams. Knowing this fact, I think the Native Americans
would be more inclined to accepting towards the idea of being the logo for
these teams. In conclusion, all sports teams that use Native Americans as their
logos, should seek approval from these tribes if they wish to use them as their
logo in order to leave out anger of racism and stereotypes from these tribes.
