    Indians What do you think about Chief Wahoo?

    Me and some friend of other teams were talking about team logos and mascots,and we started talking about Chief Wahoo,the Cleveland Indians logo.

    Chief Wahoo is embraced by many in Cleveland.He's been the symbol of our baseball team for a very long time,and was even on top of old Cleveland Munincipal Stadium,where they played before moving into Jacobs Field.

    My friends have no problem with him.He's just a cartoon figure.However,there seem to be many people who have a problem with him.They say he's degrading to the Native Americans.They say the Indians should get rid of him,and some even want the team to change thier name.

    These people are taking a "stand" against a "wrong against the Native Americans".Why don't they ask the Native Americans if they even care?If they really want to help the Native Americans in this country,maybe they should take up a real cause because they are being wronged worse by other things than a cartoon character.

    I was just wondering everyone else's opinion on Chief Wahoo.I own plenty of things that depict him,and I am not going to stop wearing it because a bunch of political nobodies told me to.

    Those who whine about Native Americans being "hurt" by the Indians/Braves are the same whiners who promote other shit policies like Affirmative Action and political correctness.


    **** them.

    Get rid of it. Anything that pisses off an Indians fan is okay with me.

    I have no problem with it at all.

    I have a problem with the low life activists who love to march in protest. Go get a friggin' job.

    Protesting something like a war and getting offended by a head are on two seperate ends of a spectrum there bud.

    I hate watching people protest war. Their whine isn't going to do a damn thing. They should do something constructive and not waste OUR time and cause traffic jams.

    I find Notre Dame offensive. Fighting Irish?!?! I'm Irish and find the stereotype that we all get drunk and fight offensive. And you better get rid of the Florida Marlins...phew, that fish is as offensive as it comes!

    Political correctness run amuck. I love it.

    There was a fight for the land. They lost. Maybe it's time to MOVEON. You cannot legislate changes in thinking. Somebody get a band aid for the bleeding hearts.
