How about this for news from an alternate, mirror reality?
An arena with a Native American name is drawing criticism. The twist: Natives are the ones who named it.
The Cox arena, as of July 1 to be the Viejas arena, is the focus of criticism because of a perceived connection between athletics and gambling. At least, that's what the critics fret about. Nobody gripes about perceived connections with obesity, making deals with Nazis, pollution, manufacturing plant deaths or any of the other long list of awful shit that Coca-Cola does when it slaps its name on an arena.
The encouragement of gambling is the main worry for detractors here. I can see how some would imply that there is an endorsement of gambling, but only if I view this story through a limited understanding of the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians.
While my knolwedge of them is not encyclopedic, I can firmly say that they are not just a Casino. While this may not be enough to calm critics with nightmare visions of roulette addicted sophmores spinning through their minds, it will have to do.
I personally see this as a step in the right direction in what is a de-facto ideology war in sports imagery. Instead of the one sided view of Native-inspired logos that we've gotten from the Cleveland Indians Baseball Company and the University of North Dakota, we can now see Natives having a say in the matter.
I don't think you'll see grins or warpaint.
