The Change of the Redskins Name
Sports throughout the United States and other countries have contained many significant and great visual experiences throughout their team mascots. However, for some, the team logo and mascot depict a much greater meaning and there’s more to meet the eye than just some Indian on a helmet. Too many Native Americans there is a true sense of racial controversy through the meaning of the team names. Throughout many previous years of the United States history, there has been many racial controversies with the Native Americans. This has led to where the Nation stands today.

Social communication hasn’t only increased, but it has also demoralized many through the racial slurs of teams’ names. This act of social media may in fact cause students to reenact racial hatred towards others. By this many of the Native Americans will be tyrannized through this social spread. Another bad stage through social communication is the triggering of a bad relationship. The misinterpretation and undeveloped understanding, which these team owners have, will impact many Native Americans wrongly. Also the inappropriate context of the word “Redskins” will affect the Native Americans. The word is in fact misleading and not correctly defined as an Indian. The name of the team will then cause hatred among the Native Americans.
