Comment on Is the Cleveland Indians Logo, Chief Wahoo, A Racist Symbol? by WeirdFish

@Evan: that’s just rationalization and is ultimately empty — a sort of “ends justifies the means” argument. Your rationale essentially says to those who are offended at the logo’s antiquated view of a people and a culture that they should merely “get over it” just because YOU don’t find it offensive.

Ultimately, both the name and the logo marginalize an entire culture, just as the name “Washington Redskins” and “Atlanta Braves,” among countless other sports teams that use Native cultures as mascots.

How quickly do you think a sports team named the Montgomery Negroes or the Savannah Darkies would be shut down, especially if their logos featured blackfaced Sambos? Pretty DAMN fast, I would imagine.

The underlying issue is that Native symbology in sports team names and mascots continue because those who are left to protest are dwindling.

I suspect that similarly, a team named the San Francisco Chinks would be immediately shut down by local Asian-Americans. Just because YOU don’t find it offensive doesn’t mean it isn’t, and this applies to the original author of this old article as well.

A lack of instances of correction does not automatically make something “correct.” Correlation does not equal causation.

Comment on Pavlik – Loew Relationship Ending Ugly by John

Wow Pavlik seems delusional. The gym was there before he even came in. And BHOP was in no way, shape or form the pound for pound best fighter in the world when he faced him. Taylor sucks and he barley beat him twice. The only two good boxers Pavlik ever fought, destroyed him. If Kelly’s going off of beating Taylor, his career is ruined.

[...] Read this article before advancing. Jack Loew gave me his side of this story a month-and-a-half ago. The emphasis was that he was unsure if he was still the trainer of Kelly Pavlik or not, and hadn’t heard from him. [...]

Comment on Is the Cleveland Indians Logo, Chief Wahoo, A Racist Symbol? by Evan

I personally believe that Chief Wahoo is not a racist symbol. I say that Chief Wahoo is being taken out of context as a simple caricature meant to represent a MLB team whose name happens to be the Indians. This caricature exemplifies a proud United States by sporting the national colors. And, by definition, a caricature is meant to accentuation certain things. Instead of making just one thing stand out, they may the whole symbol obtuse with the red face and large facial features. In the end Chief Wahoo is not a part of racism but reverse racism.
