Too much political correctness. Seems that having Native Americans/Indians on logos is a tribute, connotes athleticism and superiority. Why else would a club select the mascot.

This has been news for some time now...   I believe they are in the process of redesigning the logo for the club as well.

wow...you do realize you said that out loud?


This is not "woke" or anything else in the Fox news lexicon of base-baiting. It's respectful in the same way that you dont see "lawn jockeys" in front of homes anymore

Suggest a quick delete and take your "cancel culture" victimhood and go to your nearest Native American reservation and ask the locals how they feel about it. On the way, perhaps stop at the local library for a quick history lesson.


Conestoga Massacre and the Arming of Philadelphia

A significant historical incident happened in 1763 that brought a number of issues between the Quakers, the colonists and the Indigenous People to a tragic and bloody confluence.  In early December, a mob of frontiersmen rode from east-central Pennsylvania to just outside of Lancaster where they carried out a vile and merciless attack on the Conestoga people.  Although they were condemned by the Quaker government, they felt justified to continue their slaughter of the remaining Conestoga (numbering only fourteen), who had been confined in Lancaster for their protection, shortly after Christmas Day 1763.  In response, Quaker and city leaders in Philadelphia, removed the Moravian Lenape, a group of Christian Lenape people living outside Philadelphia, to inside the city itself.  As the mob of frontiersmen continued to grow and march on Philadelphia, Quaker people took up arms to defend their Lenape wards (and ostensibly, themselves).  This is one of the few documented instances where Quakers chose to take arms to engage in combat, specifically on behalf of the Lenape people.

As with many eastern Nations, the subsequent centuries were not kind to the Native people of the Philadelphia area.  Dispossessed of their lands and decimated by disease, the majority of Lenape migrated west with only a handful remaining in the area.

Well said Ian.  Jay your thought is as blatantly tone deaf and willfully ignorant as I have seen on this board.

Yes I realize that I said that out loud. My Quaker ancestors arrived in Philadelphia in 1698, surveyed then the city for William Penn, were lawyers and tradesmen, stood up for the rights of others be they Indian or slave who the you protected by running an  "Underground railroad". If the Indian was Jim Thorpe would there be the same outcry. If Indians take the Logo as demeaning then remove it, I see it as banishing them again. Perhaps I should object to the University of Pennsylvania mascot being the Quaker.

Is logo shaming just an American thing because of native Americans or have any English, Irish or Scottish golf courses changed logos for being offensive to something or someone. I have a bag tag from an annual tournament the Hangtown Open over 30 years ago in Placerville, CA whose nickname was Hangtown from gold rush times that depicts a noose on a tree because the town had the only court in gold country and hangings were common for horse theft and claim jumpers. In the middle of town was the tree with a noose for tourists and although there wasn't a race element I am sure it is gone now. There also was a big dirt bike race with the same name that was broadcast on Wide World of Sports every year. :o
I love golf, the fightin irish, and beautiful women depending on the season and availability.

Can confirm that the Seminole sign is no longer there. The post the sign hangs on was also gone, so in their case it might be more of a situation where they just don’t want to advertise their existence to everyone passing by on US 1 anymore.
