call out racists when their own logo is a Native American stereotype.

This isn’t to suggest the racist comments made towards the player were appropriate in any way at all and I’m glad they were removed, but there is some hypocrisy being exhibited here. Consider the statement issued by the team:

“We are committed to providing an inclusive environment for everyone who attends our games and these actions will never be tolerated”

Perhaps they should remove the plank in their eye...
