I think your vaccination made you funny somehow.

What I mean is even if the Blackhawks had actual tribes on their side it might still get changed. So much is being deemed offensive these days it's gotten tiresome.

However, I do think many of the names are offensive and should be changed. Braves as a name is borderline (given the context) but the tomahawk chant is one of the worst things in sports

See that first part is kind of what I was addressing in my above verbal diarrhea. We have no reason to expect a teams name to be changed if it has the blessing of the subject of the team name. I can’t think of a single instance of anything like this, in or out of sports

You're telling me Seal is a good sandwich artist?

like for instance i am jewish. if there was a team name like the "Macabees" or something which were highly regarded warriors, that itself wouldnt be offensive. however all of the fanfair that came along with it would all but certainly be, because people are dumb. then you add on top of that the history of native americans in this country and how boned they've been for centuries and the whole naming of teams after them is even more patronizing

Used to listen to a Native fella on the radio and his take pretty much yours. White men took their land and are now profiting off their culture by naming sports teams, etc and marketing products while they still being screwed. Completely understand their view.

I think you'll ultimately be right but I'm pretty sure I've read where they're having discussions about the Blackhawks mascot specifically. There are people outside of Native Americans who do appear to find it offensive. I just hope these individuals don't affect actual change unless there is a desire from the people it is actually portraying/representing.

I wouldn't say I've forgotten about it. But, as I am a white male, born in the 1970's, I probably don't give it the massive weight that it deserves. Although, I do try to be respectful of everyone (unless they're an bumhole).

CANCELED!

That's an interesting take I missed while I was catching up.

People are most definitely dumb, myself included at times (most of the time).

also, just a PS: to add to this cancel thing. I'm not that old but am old enough to remember conservatives "cancelling" the dixie chicks. Other conservative "cancellations" include Kathy Griffin, Taylor Swift, scary rock music, companies calling out the recent georgia voting laws, the list goes on. This is not my opinion on anything other than being over the whole "liberal cancel culture" proclamation. i think im a pretty reasonable guy (you tell me) and the picture being portrayed of this woke hellscape where everyone is overly sensitive and runs the risk of being "cancelled" for having a certain view is not reality. there is a loud minority of overly sensitive woke people but that doesnt detract from the real reasons certain people/things may receive criticism. Also, the conflating of a free enterprise business (twitter, FB, etc) punishing people on their platforms for things as an infringement on free speech is another bugaboo for me. No one can censor your free speech except the Govt, which it has not. A business can do whatever the hell it wants thanks to free market capitalism.

Rant over, thank you for listening to my TED talk

Bravo!
Used to be the right that shut people down, now it's the left. What kind of bizarro world is this?
You have the Q-tards on the extreme right and the Woke on the extreme left. Would love to see them battle it out, but it would literally be a massacre.

I think they should all be put somewhere, oh wait.

I was actually thinking the other night as the game ended that when I eventually do make my way down there to see a game at MSG in person for the 1st time, I'd love to contact some of you guys and grab a drink. Then I thought, I better DM them or I'll have Dundee waiting for me, as promised!!
- Tonybere

He's probably waiting outside MSG trying to figure out if one of us is going in.

Isn't that the point of letting them battle it out?

Bingo, although that might give voice to the Native views, which for once isn't a bad thing although those keyboard warriors would take credit.

Made that joke to my wife the other day about wokies saying it's a gun-free zone and the Q's saying that's nice.
Much rather have the lizard people crazies.

Speaking of Natives...Adam Fox is pretty good

Well there are still examples on the right today. The mlb comes to mind in the last few weeks. It’s just nothing new.

Also Look at the movie PCU. They were satirizing “wokeness” back in the 90s. It’s not some existential millennial threat to our way of life that is coming for us. It’s just a crutch certain people lean on to scare old people
