In the US there's been a growth in politically correct behavior expectations. Some people are big fans of being politically correct always, others are more lenient, believing instead that context and intent needs to play a part in whether an action or word is politically incorrect.

One way this politically correct movement is manifesting itself is in a small but growing protest agains sports team names after the indigenous people of the North American continent.

Examples:

• Cleveland Indians (baseball)
• Washington Redskins (football)
• Kansas City Chiefs (football)

What do you all think about this? Are these team names "insulting"? Should they be banished? Or are they celebratory and, in a way, honoring the heritage of North America?

The hype is currently found in the US but I realize this could apply globally, so global discussion is certainly welcome!
