Wasps rugby club’s woke war on Exeter Chiefs

-

sir – Like many others, I have a motor home called an Apache. Piper aircraft have names like Cherokee, Cheyenne, Comanche, Navajo, Pawnee and Seminole. What are we to do?

What saddens me most, as a former county rugby player, is that Wasps rugby club, in describing the wearing of Native American headdresse­s by Exeter Chiefs supporters as “cultural appropriat­ion” (report, October 13), has joined the woke fringe.
