Regardless, I just wanted to put my thoughts out there. What others make of them is their own concern.

I'm sure Padres and Cowboys fans dont get extra benefits because they are a fan of those teams.
Other than for the success and failure of the team.
How many animals benefit from the animal nick names?
Is Chicago donating half its profits to wild life?
Not saying animals care but if you're gonna use them why not help preserve their future.
Do movies always donate profits to people it uses in movies?
I would also say the nick names keep the Native American in mind.
I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes seen as racist to not use a Native American name.
