Teams choose their mascots and the redskins choose theirs because they wanted to respect the native Americans.Even when you look up the definition of mascot it will say this: A person or thing that is supposed to bring good luck or that is used to symbolize a particular event or organization. Also majority rules because It is kind of like the president, when you vote and your side doesn't win you still have to deal with it. And studies show that more people say they want to keep mascots instead of banning them. According to this website http://www.debate.org/opinions/should-native-american-mascots-be-banned. So no matter what side wins it all comes down to the votes.So I think mascots should not be banned.

I think that Mascots should not be banned Because of these three reasons, It is a sign of respect, and the majority rules, and my last reason is that, we honor our mascots. I think Mascots should not be banned.
