I let my season tix go before last season...for financial reasons. There's a dude that sits up near my old seats that bought a huge native American headdress when he was on vacation. It's legit. I think he's started to catch flack over it. I never saw anyone give him a hard time though.
Anyone who knows me, knows I've supported keeping the coolest logo in all of sport. You guys chasing me around can suck a big bag of dicks.
Quote:
“The Chicago Blackhawks’ name and logo symbolizes an important and historic person, Black Hawk of Illinois’ Sac & Fox Nation, whose leadership and life has inspired generations of Native Americans, veterans and the public. We celebrate Black Hawk’s legacy by offering ongoing reverent examples of Native American culture, traditions and contributions, providing a platform for genuine dialogue with local and national Native American groups. As the team’s popularity grew over the past decade, so did that platform and our work with these important organizations.
“We recognize there is a fine line between respect and disrespect, and we commend other teams for their willingness to engage in that conversation. Moving forward, we are committed to raising the bar even higher to expand awareness of Black Hawk and the important contributions of all Native American people. We will continue to serve as stewards of our name and identity, and will do so with a commitment to evolve. Our endeavors in this area have been sincere and multi-faceted, and the path forward will draw on that experience to grow as an organization and expand our efforts.”
No SJW is perfect.
I know an Indian in Evanston who thinks the logo is racist.
