SF Giants Native American Heritage Night Incident-Victory (update/mascotry/cultural appropriation)

How cool is that the SF Giants incident was broadcast on NPR Morning Edition just now. It included an interview with a Giants representative stating that they will be changing their policies and training to ensure that the concerns that were raised are addressed and that all fans are made to feel part of the Giants family and culturally insensitive items are now banned.

Sad it took the ridiculous ejection of a couple of Native people protesting the use of a fake headdress at Native Heritage night for policy change. But it's a step in the right direction!!
