It's an issue that has mainly been made up by white lawyers and PC-policemen who want to make a name for themselves by forcing their opinions on others through litigation.
If Bradford was so easy to be offended, he wouldn't be playing for the Sooners...besides, those white men in wagons came riding in and forcing the Indians off their land!

It's not a crazy thought. We all toss around our opinions on the subject, but for the most part, it doesn't personally affect us in the sense that we're a bunch of white, black, brown, green fans attached to the name. Along comes a dude who might think otherwise because the name/logo speaks to his tribe. Or not.
I do agree, however, that the majority of NAs could care less. Count me among them.
