The Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Blackhawks and KC Chiefs seem to be receiving relatively little flak . . . not to mention the Seminoles, Utes, and any number of Warriors.
Maybe it's time to just pick a less objectionable team name, and get on with it.

The Ottawa CFL team has the totally most stupid name in the world, the Ottawa RedBlacks. They used to be the Rough Riders, but that was also the name of the Saskatchewan team. Yes, in a 9-team league, for decades 2 teams had the same name.

The Palm Beach Kochsuckers
The Florida Groundstanders. I find them extremely offensive.

The Toronto Crackheads.
In grad school, I was on the Physics Astronomy's softball team: the Big Bang Gang. Sorry, no tee shirts.
They <i>really</i> liked roughriding.
The Louisiana Duckfuckers
Provo Provos might work out nicely.
