This world has lost its collective mind. Offended by a team name? Give me a break.
Another very valid approach to your opinion here is that you're very correct that team names don't matter a ton. And that that applies to both parties here.
So if you think it's absurd that a team name offends somebody, your own outrage about the change is equally absurd. Because it's a team name, which by your own logic just isn't that big of a deal.
From my perspective, the Indians name doesn't offend me personally. But I'm happy to take Native Americans at their word that they're offended, and have no problem with a name change. Because as you point out, it's just a team name.
Since it's not, in your mind, worth offense and doesn't matter a ton, there's a very easy high road that involves changing it because it does clearly offend some people.
It's very weird to me that your stance here is outrage that this meaningless thing could cause outrage. You're outraged, right? It's either meaningless or it's not. You seem to want it to be meaningless to the people it offends, while still insisting it carries enough meaning that changing it makes you angry.
Feels pretty hypocritical, but maybe I'm missing something.
