If people are taking offense to mascot names they should have to be changed. It can be harmful to cultures, for example, the Redskins now people see Native Americans different just because of a name of a mascot. The biggest case of this happening is the Redskins but it has happened much more time with high schools and colleges. The Natives of this tribe have taken high offense to the name of the Redskins and want it changed but the NFL have decided to not changed it. Some people say that it is a way of honoring them but if they don't take it as honoring them, they should have to change it.

The Mascots can be offensive to the people that they are named after. For example in the article Native American Mascots Devalues Culture, it talks about how the people that the rRdskins are named after have gotten offend by the name Redskins and have asked to have it changed. The NFL has decided not to change it to somethings else. I think that this is wrong because if the people that it is named after have taken offense to it and want it changed, it should have to be changed.
