As a fan of sports in general, and the history that has built certain teams in different pro-leagues, it becomes quite hard for me personally to take sides on matters like this one. On one side, you have a name that has been used for an amount of time, and the fans relate to that name that holds honor, theme, and excitement. It's not easy to take something that has been established, and that represents a team, and change it up to satisfy a group of people that are outraged because of the degradation to the group of people it represents. Especially when it represents a pro-league team. Large amounts of time and money are invested to make sure that trademarks are simple, catchy, and trendy enough to get peoples attention. At the same time, out of respect to a group of proud people, that truly feel humiliated by someone elses poor judgement in using a name that represents ritual at a higher level, I think that people should be much more sensitive when diving into realms they may not fully understand.
