aci Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I completely agree with the notion that the Blackhawks logo needs to go. Recist Native American imagery no longer has any place in sports. Its the 21st century and these teams need to get with the times. I find it disgusting that the Blackhawks, Redskins, Indians, etc. haven't changed yet despite years and years of cries from the Native American community for change.I can back up my argument with facts, sources, and evidence, but I have to work early and don't really feel like typing it all out. Maybe tomorrow. For now, just take my opinion as one vote for the change.It's native American imagery, but what about it is racist? Is it racist to have a white guy's profile portrayed on American quarters?

The_Admiral Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 It's a drawing of a famous Indian chief from the midwest. It makes no racist determinations against American Indians. Ancillary team paraphernalia has nothing to do with scalping or tomahawk chops or any of that other Indian stuff. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That includes the Blackhawks and most, if not all, of the college teams that are being forced to change their names and logos because of the perceived offensiveness of the name.
