Nobody would be saying there's an overreaction to this if the N word was used.

A racial slur is a racial slur. Why should this be any different?

Does this new racial sensitivity on the American sports landscape mean that we will finally see the end of the "Washington Redskins" and "Cleveland Indians" as well as a removal of the the non tomahawk "Atlanta Braves" logo/mascot?

A bit of a double standard to create such fervor over this in light of what sportsfans have been in bed with for decades.....
