No. According to the decision, five American Indians brought a cancellation proceeding.

For the fifth time, Kevin, what's the basis for "small minority"?

I thought so. Good grief, Kevin, read. In that poll, 768 people self-identified as American Indian. Of those 768, 77 people said the the name offended them. Polling issues aside, that does not mean that only 10% of all American Indians find the team name offensive, as you keep saying; it means that only 10% of people surveyed (10 years ago) who self-identified as Indian found it offensive.

Frankly, Kevin, the only thing full of crap is your argument—you've made plenty of room for the crap with all the holes in your logic.
