Throughout the past couple of periods, there has been an growing wave of debate regarding the names of known sports teams like the Atlanta “Braves”, Cleveland “Indians”, Kansas City “Chiefs”, and Washington “Redskins”. A substantial number American Indians have protested that use of native names, symbols, and images as sports-team mascots and the like is by definition, a dangerous racist practice. It is recognized racist because this method can be compared to modern Germans naming their soccer teams “Jews”, “Hebrews”, and “Yids”, while decorating their uniforms with twisted cartoons of Jewish looks taken from the Nazis’ anti-Semitic propaganda of the 1930’s.

The people who are doing it defensively say that this has done no harm, regardless of what their victims this, say or feel. As Churchill expressed, “They stand as figurative beacons in the night, proving beyond all doubt that it is entirely possible to indulge in the pleasure of athletics without accepting blatant racism into the bargain”. I believe that Churchill suggested that there are enough ways to show thankfulness than to use harmful names. I felt like he made strong points in which makes one rethinks using Native American terms for team names. His compelling points consisted of all races and made a point to show how using critical phrases was indeed not funny.

The verbal and visual uses of racial similarity suggests that such reframing seek to make race tangible, challenging mascots while affirming Indians. They make the case that Indians are an ethnic group of Blacks, Jews, Asians, and Hispanics, yet they remain different because Euro-Americans convert them into mascots, making materialized Indians invisible. Racial analogy contains race as a category in an effort to maintain the current racial system, it marks abuse, making it nameable and visible by self and other; it flag the place and position of Native Americans, highlighting genocide and deletion. Momentarily challenging the logic of racial opportunity and hierarchy. Irony is that, to organize the factual about Indians thought the analogy, leisure and their supporters, all at the same time strengthen the race. It is hurtful for different groups as it demotivates them instead of recycling of such thoughts.
