I hope nobody finds this offensive. I just like arrowheads, spearpoints, tomahawks and now this belt buckle.
Certainly doesn't offend me; and I have at least as much Amerindian DNA as Pocahontas (Sen. Elizabeth Warren).
Actually, I'm disgusted by how people get so overwrought that their hypersensitivity prevents them seeing that many team names and mascots are adopted in honor of the ethnicities they depict. The teams and other organizations often sought to portray themselves as having the same pride, honor and fighting spirit as members of the group whose identity they invoke. What's next? Will teams named "Vikings" and "Spartans" be cancelled because they appropriate Scandnavian or Greek culture?
I'm not really a fan, nor a consumer of professional team sports. However, if I were, I would not be offended by team names that paid tribute to my Scottish or Germanic heritage: "Go Cherusci tribe" or "Fight hard Highlanders"....Yeah!
