SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

Want to know why "Indians" isn't a good name for a sports team?
Because it might lead people to do stupid things like this:

(From McAdory High vs Pinson Valley High football playoff game in Alabama.)

(For our European friends who might not get the reference: Trail of Tears)

Guessing they're not big on Zinn's view of American history in those schools.

Grum, I think you're missing the first link.

bender: no link to a story about the picture, as I only found a box score and a discussion about the game (where they team names, Yellow Jackets and Indians, are mentioned), not the image itself. This was posted to social media when it happened.

Oh. There is no picture on my page either, for some reason. I did google the teams and find the story, though. I do not understand how that banner could be made and someone didn't think better of it to stop it from reaching the field.

Are there schools that are?
