hold up... this wasnt the original name? they intentionally chose a racist name after having a perfectly fine one....

I assumed they were all original names smh

They're not technically the same team. The Indians are a "successor."

Did any of those teams make any kind of donations to any specific orgs or groups that did the advocacy? I assume not, but I havent followed the the name changes beyond the basic info.
