Awwww muffin

With Max flipping out, I’ll just leave it with national indian organizations who have called for the end of all Indian mascots and team names. I’m going to go with their sentiments over the Wirtz on this one.

(It’s ironic that he uses the term cancel culture given the history of natives in North America.)

i don't see anything wrong with celebrating the conquest of North America with team names, mascots, parades, monuments, parks, statues, etc etc...

It was a great thing for the world and humanity.

Maybe they should stop calling themselves "indian"... that might be offensive to people who are from the indian subcontinental area... seems like a cultural appropriation...

people have been conquering and being conquered for eons... nothing new. why stop at the natives being conquered why not go back farther than that if that's the issue.

Nylander...way overpaid as a RFA.

Muzzin...that contract is completely ridiculous...but it’s the price you pay when you have 0 depth at D.

Let’s hope you use your 1st this year for a defenseman...oh...wait a minute...i forgot that you had to give up your first to get rid of one of your “not a bad contracts”.

Oh well...guess you can wait another 53 years...

The Flyers paid Kevin Freaking Hayes 7x7.1 as well as JVR 5X7and you are talking about Leafs bad contracts

I'm still pissed about the Mongols ruining the racial supremacy of the Han Chinese.

Yep, and dont forget they signed JVR to 7X7, and Vorachek is making 8.25 for another 4 years(after this year). How did Kevin Hayes get more then JVR to begin with

Or we could try to evolve past tribal conflict instead of just accepting it as the way things are, and see the human face of the other.

How about we just start by acknowledging that the racism that made up much of that history has not completely left us and that we all have a responsibility to try to address it.

Changing sports logos that natives find offensive is one of the easiest things that we can do. Somehow it’s not surprising that you find it too much to ask for.

Your history is as weak as the Canucks' UFA defence signings.

It's actually pretty complicated.

The Chicago Blackhawks receive some support, and they also receive some criticism from various Native American groups.

I read an article about a week ago about it - I'll see if I can dig it up.

They now have a few people in the arena for every game who engage with fans, telling the history of the local aboriginal groups.
