When those Jeeps attacked Pearl Harbor, they forfeited all rights to be bellyaching about names of vehicles in America.

The people of the “Cherokee” tribe were given that name by the neighboring “Creek” tribe,
and it meant “people with another language” in Creek.
-
The Cherokee, called themeselves “Tsalagi”
(pronounced something like chee-sha-lay-key).

Sounds good to me. In fact, since we’re on the subject.

I’m all for removing the Indian names on all sports teams including my Chicago Blackhawks. No more Cleveland Indians, Seminoles, Chiefs, Braves etc. This goes for minor teams right down to little league and T-ball.

No more pick up games with “shirts” and “skins.”

I’ve also changed my mind with regard to kneeling, sitting etc during the anthem. I say, anything goes. Just as long as you are silent and not passing gas.

Pledge of Allegiance to the flag? Make it optional.

Prayer in schools, like wise optional.

At restaurants take out the Chief salad. I know it’s called the Chef Salad, but take it out anyway, because people may think it’s related to Indians.

Fighting Illini? Out!

I’m sure there are a slew of other sport team names that were taken from Indians, basketball, hockey. I’m sure many schools also.

I want us to hit rock bottom, as fast as possible with regard to everything Biden and the media etc have control or influence over.

Kamala Harris? The quicker she gets in office the better for all of us.

The Jeep brand is now owned by an EU Multinational automotive corporation, Stellaris.

The tribe got this right. Stellaris can pay the tribe to call it Cherokee, or they can just rename it the Jeep Grand Eurotrash Pantywaist.

Send the chief a dozen Jeep Cherokees and tell him to distribute them to people on the reservation who are in need.

Cherokees driving Cherokees. Marketing team will have a field day.

They can rename the vehicle “Sphinx.” I’ll be cheaper than the Cherokee to bargain with.

Ttibe should copyright their name and then charge a fee for its use.

Maybe they could change the name to "Jeep Jerkily", in honor of the fraudulent, phony, fake administration that cheated and stole the presidency.
