lol, changing the names of all the places that come from native languages....might as well reinvent the alphabet. Even English-sounding names of places are often bastardized versions of what the natives called them.
Even when it's respectful stuff and permission is given and all that, it's still wrong/ignorant. Like that chief video...the chief of a tribe isn't running around doing stuff. He's in the hut, sitting on his ass all day. The youngsters do all the active stuff. The chief is the male lion of the group - everyone else does all the work. He's not running 50 yards or doing flips or anything.
One idea is to not name silly mascots after people. We're not very sharp, even when trying to do the right thing. Syracuse? The Orange? The orange what? WTF??
Ugh.
