[QUOTE="Don't Skip Leg Day, post: 1058946, member: 35381"] Not saying I don’t agree with you but to play devils advocate, there are millions of people (of a certain religious beliefs) who think most of western culture offensive. So should we ban certain adverts and things etc? It’s a difficult thing because some things offend some people but they aren’t offensive in general. Some people take offensive at almost anything these days. In this instance though, it’s less about offensive and more about stealing a culture which has angered them and in term be labelled offensive. So should Exeter be able to steal and use those images, yes if they weren’t stereotypes but since they are and with no links to native Americans in general you’d be hard pressed for anyone to say it’s not the right thing to do to give up the native marketing stuff. Hope that doesn’t come across as disagreeing with you (as I’ve not meant to) but it’s funny how many things are being deemed offensive these days (although I get why this is). [/QUOTE]
