Even though your view is 180 degrees from the one I commented on yesterday (sorry, can't remember ww...'s full name), you both made your points so eloquently and with such truth that they truly are both "excellent". <BR/><BR/>Interesting how there can sometimes be opposing truths that are still quite valid as truth, just from different viewpoints... I suppose it's like describing a landscape from the valley... or the mountaintop? Different yet both the truth?<BR/><BR/>i like that. :-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284595314525240584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33436317.post-19882940551514911842008-01-31T21:30:00.000-05:002008-01-31T21:30:00.000-05:00The mascot of my kids school is "Indians".

A real Chief rec...I think Chief Wahoo is offensive. <BR/><BR/>A real Chief receives feathers as a sacred gift that symbolizes his beliefs of the tribe. <BR/><BR/>Chief Wahoo wears a feather, as part of his depiction. Many Native Americans would view that as degrading towards the sacred meaning of a feather. <BR/><BR/>Simply put, I would think there would be an outcry if there was a team named the Columbus Christians Their "mascot" is Jesus on the Cross. This Jesus on the Cross mascot has a big "goofy" grin on his face. People bring big crosses to the game and swing them in the air (i.e. the Tomahawk Chop). People come to games nailed to a cross, scream and act crazy cheering for their team. Fans make light of the sacred aspects of all Jesus is meant to be. The concession stand can claim to sell water that by miracle was changed to beer. Drink up! It's all for fun. <BR/><BR/>Let's say there is a team called the Jersey Jews. And in the end zone you see a big Menorah light up one candle at a time when there is a touchdown. And to pass the time an inflatable dreidel is batted around from fan to fan. Fans come dressed to the football game in all black, with big black flat hats on, and those long curled locks on each side of their ears. Really getting behind the Jersey Jews, go Jew go.<BR/><BR/>Let's bang a drum in the bleachers. Let's paint our skin red. Hey show up to a local sporting event in black face, and watch the response. Let's all be Al Jolson at the next game. Let's stomp around and do a "war game chant," and smack our hands against our mouths. <BR/><BR/>Oh my God! Go Columbus Christians! Crucify the Denver Devils!
