You mean a black hawk isn’t a bird? Just change the logo and they’re good.
WHERE does it END???
Rush suggested they change the name from the Washington Red Skins to the Washington Thin Skins.
And I thought they got the name from a comic book character from my youth.
Blackhawk, his air force, his Chinese friend with a meat cleaver, evil men beware BLACKHAWK!!
I would like to register my formal outrage over Fighting Irish.
word on the street says that PETA is about to launch a campaign against the Detroit LIONS and the Detroit TIGERS...
a fan contest determined the new "Chiefs" name in honor of Mayor Harold Roe Bartle's nickname that he acquired in his professional role as Scout Executive of the St. Joseph and Kansas City Boy Scout Councils and founder of the Scouting Society, the Tribe of Mic-O-Say
I want to complain about the use of “Vikings”. And, while I’m here, about “Raiders” and “Pirates”. Naming ballteams after these peaceful, commerce loving groups is offensive. I would respectively propose a name of each of these to: DemonRats.
A state university, where I did graduate work, came under fire several years ago because their school mascot was ‘Redmen’. The U has a large percentage of Native American students.
Like the current angst of a few, that U changed its mascot to RiverHawks.

How many years before PETA or a similar ‘save the riverhawk’ group complains and the mascot gets changed to the petunias or some such?
[There was a time that remark could have been considered sarcasm. In the new pc world, the current mascot MUST be offending someone, somewhere, somehow.]
PC is winning, one mascot change at a time, one disliked word at a time, one complaint at a time.
PC whines allow a majority of a few to cause changes over a minority of many.
We are truly in a bizarro world.
I'm showing my age because I'd be a lot more impressed with this person's comments if they were spelled correctly, sigh! Chief and Cleveland are the proper spellings, but then again we learned yesterday about how dumb Americans are in the OECD test.
As for names, we once again learn that Political Correctness boils down to victimology and intolerant people with far too much time to gripe!
Cleveland Injuns.
To the author: Spelling are our friend
A former CT/Hartford Whaler player, Joel Queenville coaches the team. Never knew of that until they won the Stanley Cup.
A name can’t be racist. This comes from the left’s dogma that all American institutions are racist.
Chicago's large scale slaughter of human beings...
Chicago's systemic corruption and one party politics.
Chicago's lack of respect for the second amendment. Black flash mobs robbing stores and beating clerks is offensive.
Gang-bangers.
On my list the term “Blackhawks’ comes in around the 850 mark... little after people who drop pennies on railroad tracks.
We could do like NY City schools. Nothing like the pride of having attended something like PS150.
that is stupid
