What does any of that have to do with the name of a baseball team. And what tribe do you belong to?

and now the Vancouver Canucks have been asked to change their logo due to cultural appropriation. Luckily the timing is random and it's not like this has anything to do with any perceived wave of virtue signaling or social outrage stemming from being locked up in the house all year.
