Question
Is it offensive for sports teams to use Native American mascots?
Position
Yes, it is offensive for sports teams to use Native American mascots
Argument
Native American mascots damage young Native Americans' self-esteem
“American Indian mascots are harmful not only because they are often negative, but because they remind American Indians of the limited ways in which others see them. This in turn restricts the number of ways American Indians can see themselves.”
