I'm glad to see the #ExeterChiefs, the local #rugby team have dropped their old logo of a #NativeAmericanChief after many years. I think it was culturally clumsy. They now have the image of a historically indigenous warrior from the #Dumnonii tribe who inhabited the region in the #IronAge.
Technically this is not local news, rather it is news about my locality.
This my local team. I always found it incongruous that a team in the south west of England adopted a name based on #American #IndigenousPeople. I think it started out as just a marketing ploy like the Sharks, Tigers and so on. But as it's a collection of humans rather than other animals, it could with some justification be seen as insensitive #CulturalAppropriation. So, I think it's the right decision.
