It is ridiculous ! Keep the name ! Whoever believes that the name was chosen about them, should be proud to have such an honor bestowed upon them !

I think the name Raiders (without the "Red") is fine. Change the logo to pirates or Vikings. In fact, instead of a bunch of white people fighting over if the Native Abenaki people are offended or not, why not ask the Abenaki people and let them answer for themselves? The argument will be settled, then change the logo to some other less negative connotative representation. Who doesn't like pirates?

I was and am a proud Raider. Please don’t let a minority group influence the majority of people who feel the same way as I do. This world needs to get a little thicker skinned. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Red Raider.

Changing the name of the mascot seems like a very bad idea.
