ArtVandalay Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 8 minutes ago, JohnNord said: In a time when sports teams and culture in general is becoming more sensitive toward stereotypical names and imagery around indigenous people, Im shocked that Kansas City can still do their pre-game drum ceremony and the tomahawk chop. Not to mention the fact that fans are dressed like native Americans chiefs. For the life one me, I can’t figure out how this is acceptable. It’s one thing to say that a name like “Chief” or “Brave” is a tribute…it’s another to essentially parody aspects of their culture. Why do you think Native Americans don't want people to appreciate or celebrate representation? This whole notion that people want a multicultural society but want cultures segregated is ridiculous. Notre Dame also had a black student be their leprechaun mascot, so do you find that off limits too? It's part and parcel of different cultures living with each other and embracing one another. Native Americans have a rich history and culture of being feared warriors, nothing wrong with embracing that, it's not being mocked and disparaged, it's being embraced. I hope the Chiefs keep their embracement, and every indication is that they will, good for them. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoMAn Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Professional sports is going overboard with names guaranteed to not offend any group. First, the Cleveland Guardians and now the Washington Commanders? Just when I thought Kraken was the worst possible team name. So, is it Dustmop or Matty the Mod who will be the team mascot for the Commanders? If you're under 35 years old and didn't grow up with Buffalo children's programming, you probably have no idea what this is all about. Sorry.

Not wholesome lyrics so I get the point. deep cover "cause its one-eight-seven on a undercover cop" 187 being the california penal code section for murder, and rap slang generally for murder.

Blows my mind how they haven't been pressured right along with doing the tomahawk chop to change. The braves had to drop that chant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Washington Commanders has a bias favoring The Navy over The Army that I find offensive. All the military ranks should be included and represented with equity. This isn’t fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
