The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964...
Yes, and her statement was something along the lines of "How can it be racist if Native Americans like it?" - well, that's just ridiculous. Black people flocked to the Negro League games. That didn't make their creation any less racist or the result of a racist process. The whole concept of naming a team after a race of people is alien to me though. I simply don't see how a person can claim that there is nothing "racial" or even "racialist" about trying to make money on the backs of romanticized noble savage memorabilia that nobody in the team has any relation to. The fact that they expect no criticism for it is kind of like those black people who set up Chinese restaurants and then expect no criticism when people point out some of the food isn't even Chinese.
