Disconnect between Lead section and article's content
[edit]I've noticed that there is a slight gap between the content included in the article's lead and in the main body of the article. While the Lead focuses broadly on themes of cultural appropriation and racism towards Native peoples in team mascots, the article is structured as an anthology of specific cases of mascot criticism. Furthermore, the vast majority of all legislative issues discussed in the article occur in public schools at the middle and high school levels, while the Lead discusses professional teams such as the Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Indians.

- Made some revisions, but don't think the opening section should be limited to summarizing the content that follows, but also include general background on the larger topic, stating the reasons that laws have been considered or passed. Local laws changing public school mascots might not have occurred if not for professional team controversies. --WriterArtistDC (talk) 02:28, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
