Adidas will give money and designs to any high school  willing to drop its Native American mascot 

Approximately 2,000 of the more than 27,000 U.S. high schools use mascot symbolism that is widely seen as offensive to native tribes. During the White House Tribal Nations Conference in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, Adidas announced it will provide financial and design assistance to any high school teams willing to change their imagery. Now if only the NFL’s Redskins will agree, instead of defending themselves.
