A Real Only Native American NFL Team

With Washington looking to retire the Redskins name and choosing a new one or to be the Washington Football Team, lets learn about a real all Native American NFL team. This team is the Oorang Indians and all of the players on the team were of Native American decent. The team was coached by Hall of Famer Jim Thorpe and is from the early part of NFL history.

The NFL team that has been honoring Native Americans properly is the Seattle Seahawks. Their logo took inspiration from local Native American artwork, and using blue and green to reflect the Pacific Northwest. It's really popular among Native American fans, to a point they gave Marshawn Lynch a drum to use at the Super Bowl parade.

I'm probably going to get a lot of controversy for this, but I'll say it. Native American activists put pressure for decades on the sponsors to change the name. I'm not saying all Native Americans were offended. I'm just saying that Native American activists pressured sponsors to change the name for many decades.

Really good video idea Krazyloko. I've never heard about this team before, so well done. If you make more videos about this era in NFL history, I'm in. Not many people give this era much attention.

Why Jim Thorp win Athlete of the Century but you only see documentaries lately about a 2nd place finisher? Lmao 😂. So typical

The idea of financial freedom is great, but I don't think I'll want to give up hustling haha. However, I would like to have an investment portfolio that generates an income to give me the choice to be free to move around the world, idealistic I know... it's the idea that matters. 😀
