I don't think people really sit around thinking these old maskots and nicknames are racist, to most its just the team name, these names have lost their venom and that is the ultimate win, like the old South Park episode where the kids design a flag that all the adults think is racist, only the kids don't understand, why because they have no racism in their hearts.

Also, most people don't even know what some of these nicknames mean, Dave Dameshek surveyed players of the 49'ers and only 50% knew where the name 49'ers came from. So maybe my argument is that ignorance makes changing these iconic names unnecessary, God help us all.
