It’s politically incorrect to use a group of people as a mascot. This mostly gained momentum after an NFL team called the Redskins started getting flak for basically using a derogatory name for native americans as a mascot.

The pendulum kept swinging and it removed even non-derogatory names as mascots.

So even though a legitimate name used to represent badasses on a tema where you’re supposed to win constantly to prove how great you are somehow got shut down.

I understand it, but it felt like the usual smart changes that went too far. I blame white people white knighting / virtue signalling too much.

RIP Mia from Land O Lakes butter. You can understand it, you don’t have to like it.
