Stereotyping of Indians in professional sports in the USA: Case studies of Cleveland Indians and Washington Redskins
 Jeník, Šimon ; Kýrová, Lucie (advisor) ; Perutka, Lukáš (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the stereotypical depiction of the Indigenous peoples of North America in sports within the United States. In the United States, American Indians are presented with a distorted and biased image of the "White man's Indian," which is reflected in the names and logos of teams in the sports industry. The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to evaluate biased views of Indians and to provide evidence of the negative impacts of mascots and logos on Native Americans in professional sport. Case studies of the Cleveland Indians and the Washington Redskins were used for this purpose. The method of qualitative analysis and the method of oral history for interviews with respondents were used to study the sources that deal with this topic. The conclusion of the thesis summarizes the negative and racist depictions of Native American logos and mascots, which are mere articles of the owners of the above- mentioned clubs. These logos and images harm the real Indians and create a vacuum that presents them as historical relics. In conclusion, the author proposes a solution to this controversy, which is the abandonment of the use of Native American symbols in sports.
