Why are Indian geographic names OK but sports team names not?

Rivers and mountains and islands have Indian names.

Political units and geographic features are named after tribes or individuals.

The name of Pontiac, for example, is used as a place name and an auto brand.

Not one white person has ever been offended by the Sarah Lee or Betty Crocker brands or images.

The Irish don't riot once a year or take a knee to protest the nickname of Notre Dame's football team.
