They say that no native americans support cultural mascots. but many tribes and native americans agree that cultural mascots such as the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe who recently announced that it had no problem with a local high school whose teams are called the Warriors. Because most cultural mascots are to try to honor indian tribes. Therefore cultural mascots should not be banned but embraced Side: cultural mascots are good

You say that cultural mascots are good because Redskins owner Snyder says the team’s first roster in 1933 included four Native American players, and that the name is a proud reminder of its roots and a tribute to American Indians but I say that they are bad because Abel Cooper, a full-blooded American Indian said his daughter at a redskins game watching a teenage girl dressed up as a Indian doing flips plus cartwheels for the fans. Abel said that his daughter became so offend her eyes filled up with tears and she asked if they could leave. therefore they may show respect but more people are offended by the mascots and logos.

People are fighting against these mascots because they believe that they are racist, but what they don’t realize is they name these mascots these names for a reason, not to offend you, because they have so much respect and are proud to have that to represent them Side: cultural mascots are good

The Coachella Valley Arabs are told to be offensive, many people protest that they should change there name, but not everyone has the money for that. Not alot of people have thousands of dollars to change gym uniforms, the mascot costume, the emblem in the middle of the gym even the name of the school and think about it if they need money they are gonna rely on the parents to pay for it and you don’t want to lose money because like 3 people want to change the mascot Side: cultural mascots are good

Even though many American Indian mascots war feathered headdresses and war paint. They often carry tomahawks. Opponents of these mascots say they show American Indian culture in a cartoonish way, people only let themselves believe that they are cartoonish. It could very well be that they are trying to show a child friendly look or maybe the American Indian culture has a friendly/cartoonish look and they are trying to make it look as exact as they possibly can.

They say that cultural mascots are bad because they are an insult to tribes, but they are actually honoring the tribes because in North Dakota, the Fighting Sioux nickname is taken as a complement to the Sioux tribe. They said “I am very, very honored that they would use the name.” Therefore the names are not an insult, they make the tribes proud and feel honored.

mascots are good if you really don't care what they are but they really don't offend people unless if a Indian comes up to you and says that it is offensive that means that it is bad but you don't see any Indians walking or waltzing around the streets trying to protest against it Side: cultural mascots are good
you sat that they are good because there good but i say that they are bad because “Caricatures like the Cleveland Indians’ Logo of Chief Wahoo reduce Native Americans to cartoons and war chants,” says Cynthia Connolly a Odawa indian in Michigan. Making indians a cartoon are very disrespectful, therefore you are WRONG Side: cultural mascots are bad

Some things that people do or wear for their mascot can make the mascot it is trying to represent look bad and could give false information. Not only what they wear can be bad but also there actions and what they say so I think cultural mascots should not be allowed because they can be very misleading. Side: cultural mascots are bad
According to Barbara Munson, "American Indian mascots and logos promote negative stereotypes." I agree with her statement, because people are going to start to think that is what real American Indians look like, but it really isn't. Clubs should ask the real ethnic group to get information about what they look like. Side: cultural mascots are bad

Although some mascots are offensive and should be banned, but that doesn't mean that all should be banned most school mascots are to honor that cultural group. Many native american tribes even support tribes such as the Florida Seminoles who have long supported FSU Side: cultural mascots are good

Well, actually the tribes view it as a compliment! One tribe said, “Our team name captures the best of who we are and who we can be by staying true to our history and honoring the deep and enduring values our name represents”. So they don't find it insulting. Information from Scholastic magazine "Honor or Insult?". Side: cultural mascots are good
I think schools should get rid of school mascots because many Native Americans find them offensive. A Native American brought his daughter to a football game that was named after a Native American tribe and she got so offended she started crying and asked her father to leave. Cultural mascots are offensive, therefore schools should get rid of them. Side: cultural mascots are bad

I think sports teams should get rid of cultural mascots because it can become a stereo type. Instead of being remembered for who they truly are, Native Americans will now be know as a sports team and everything the sports team does could be taken as what Native Americans do. Cultural mascots create stereo types and should not be allowed. Side: cultural mascots are bad
A story in a Native American Mascots panel states that a man named Mr. Cooper brought his daughter (both Native American) to a football game. When they got there and there was a cheerleader dressed as a Native American and she started doing cartwheels and dancing. Mr. Cooper's daughter started crying and asked to go home because the cheerleader was very offending. Side: cultural mascots are bad

Cultural Mascots are very offensive to Native Americans who do not appreciate stereotypical mascots. A man who was Native American went to a football game with his daughter and saw a cheerleader dancing in a Native American costume, and his daughter started crying and asked her father if they could leave the game. Side: cultural mascots are bad
Cultural mascots should not be allowed because many Native Americans do not want to be associated with that category. According to Mr.Cooper (a Native American) says that “When you look at sports teams, you see a lot of animals and Indians, we’re tired of being part of that category." If Native Americans are not comfortable with sports teams having cultural mascots/names they should not be allowed. Side: cultural mascots are bad

I think that cultural mascots are bad because they can insult people and hurt people for example Abel Cooper went to a football game with her dad and at half time a cheerleader wearing a headdress and buck skin insulted her so much that she started to cry and they left.

They say that certain clubs and teams are honored by the fact people are using their tribe as a mascot but, I say that they are being so offensive because, teams are getting the looks wrong and messing up the idea, therefore teams and clubs should change their mascots if they have a culturally rude mascot.

They say that cultural mascots are a source of pride and honor Native American tribes, but I say that when teams and clubs get mascots wrong and assume that is what they look like, they are offending Native Americans across the nation. Therefore, teams and clubs shouldn't have cultural mascots. Side: cultural mascots are bad

I think that cultural mascots are bad because one native american said "Every time the Atlanta Braves do their tomahawk chop, we are not real people. We are no longer successful business men, doctors, soldiers, coworkers, or neighbors.” Now these stereotypes are very harmful and offend many people. Side: cultural mascots are bad
