Reply to comment by dishonourableaccount in TIL that St. John's University's sports teams formerly being called the Redmen actually referred to the team wearing red uniforms and not Native Americans as often interpreted. Regardless, the mascot name was changed to the Red Storm in the 90s. by J_S_M_K

I know the team had been controversial since the 90s.

I don’t like how people always brush off criticism by saying “only [majority group] cares, [minority group] liked it, most of the time it’s not correct.
