A group called Coloradans Against Ethnic Stereotyping in Colorado protested the "Fighting Reds" mascot of a local high school Sunday.

The group doesn't want the high school in Eaton change its name, only the Indian imagery associated with it. The effort has drawn attention because local college students created an intramural basketball team called the "Fighting Whities" to protest mascots.
