I only listen to what they say on the matter. And yes, they find it offensive.

The baseball team reacted to this sentiment, and I applaud them for their sensitivity and inclusiveness.

And I am part native American, if you must know (on both sides). Not enough that it would matter, though.

No one is dying on this hill. To be fair, with all of the liberal extremism since Obama, one hill generally seems to be as good as any at this point. Even though I would have theoretically agreed with you five or so years ago.

The point being that since liberals are taking the shotgun approach to anything and everything, no matter how extreme, then you probably shouldn't expect non-liberals to be choosy about what they defend. Liberals seem to have abandoned that rational political meeting place a good while ago.

I can care less, but I fail to see how this is offensive.

Im fine with what ever the club and local Natives in that area decide on. Its their business. All the fake Natives coming out of the wood work these days is pretty pathetic. The Elizabeth Warrens and Rachel Donzel types appropriating some one else's culture just goes to show you how delusional these people are.
