This is where you [the authors] "lose" people.  I think it's a reasonable for the authors to express their perspective and concerns.  I think it's reasonable for Men's Lacrosse to go, "we didn't realize and that wasn't our intention; we'll stop using the mantra and wearing the shirts."

That's all that needs to happen.  Sometimes, being ignorant is just being ignorant.  It doesn't require teams losing, competency training, etc.  If Odierna wants to apologize that's up to him.

While I am not the person to speak on behalf of Indigenous Peoples (I'm not one), it is fair to say they are not a monolith.  Others may feel differently than the authors.  If this is about a broader message about colonization (which I fear it is given that the Aztecs had nothing to do with lacrosse/The Medicine Game, and it's highly unlikely that the sports originators even knew that the Aztecs or Cortes existed given the geographic disparity) sorry authors, you're just yelling into the wind at this point.
