Well Canadia doesn’t recognize our God-given right of Freedom of Speech like our American Constitution does.

If they also let themselves be hounded into changing their mascot, I think “Cleveland Cowards” has a nice alliterative ring to it.

Gee, I wonder which other group of people hate cartoons.

At this point, I’m all for marginalizing native American culture until it’s an obscure footnote of interest only to historians – much like the Hittite or Assyrian cultures. Cherokee nation? Never heard of them; didn’t they run some casinos and souvenir stands while developing drinking problems? Oh, and the Cherokee had high cheek bones like Elizabeth Warren – maybe “Cherokee” means “high cheek bones” in their ancient language.
My alma mater had a beloved mascot named Chief Illiniwek. Fun fact: the Illiniwek was not a tribe but a loose confederation of Illinois tribes that most people have never heard of. Another fun fact: none of them are in Illinois anymore as they were kicked out of the state and relocated to Oklahoma. Final fun fact: they aren’t known as the Illiniwek anymore and haven’t been for a long time.So the progs at the University of Illinois were upset about a mascot based on a loose confederation of tribes that doesn’t exist.
So the Illiniwek confederation will devolve into a forgotten footnote in the state where none of the tribes exist anymore. Fine with me; I just listed three fun facts I don’t have to remember.

This tantrum is just another distraction from the trainwreck that is Justine Trudeau’s Canadia. Adios, you Hosers!

The Cleveland team will still come out onto the field performing the traditional Indian dance chanting: Hi How Are Ya, Hi How Are Ya, Hi How Are Ya….

The Cleveland Browns are a recognized, certified, diversified known minority….when they moved to Baltimore, they just weren’t brown enough so they moved to Indianapolis to increase the diversity there….then they made a new Browns in Cleveland….doesn’t that make sense now?…nevermind, we were talkin’ about Injuns….the red ones…

They are too busy burning wagons to worry about some baseball mascot.

They could always go back to their original team name, The Cleveland Spiders (I’m not kidding that was their original team name) and get caught up in a web of political correctness of their own creation. GO SPIDERS!

Chief Wahoo is a hero. The city best known for a river (The Cahayuga) catching on fire has got to have something to feel proud of.
