Deuce posted:Wait is blackhawk not referring to a bird? It’s is but this Black Hawk is a dude. He even fought for the British in 1812. Aside from the logo and cringey fan chops and headdresses it was the closest they got to respectful. All those army helicopters with indigenous names have army dudes go to a ceremony and get permission. Again, it sure if ok but hell they did the bare minimum try compared to the sports teams. The logo ofc looks nothing like him or even the dress of his nation, it’s gotta go https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hawk_(Sauk_leader)

Discendo Vox posted:Iirc the blackhawks were the one significant exception regarding how these team names are handled. Chief Black hawk is a guy and has roots in Illinois The family him I've been told finds the depiction more flattering than he looked in real life. Weather the team should have ever been called the Blackhawks in the first place is a different conversation, but the way they're using it today has the tribe's approval

Then you have teams like the Fighting Illini who cannot ask the tribe (because it is gone) so the fans claim that no one is against it except white people who feel guilt.

This is bad news for Biden, yall. https://newrepublic.com/article/177121/no-tiktok-joe-biden-doesnt-control-price-quarter-pounder article posted:A story has been bouncing around on TikTok lately about a guy who went to a McDonald’s in Idaho in late 2022 and his meal came to $16.10. He posted the receipt, which went viral, and of course as the topic roared across the various social media platforms, a culprit was fingered. Beef producers? Nope. Potato growers? Hardly. McDonald’s itself? Are you kidding?

chumash die hard chiefs fans? weird pick geographically, but i guess santa barbara/oxnard folks have a tendency to go for the cowboys because of their training camp, and san fransisco is the 49er's, so that only leaves the rams for non-colonizer mascots locally in any case that's definitely not a headdress warn by the chumash historically, but the ins and outs of intra and inter-tribal politics is crazy enough that i would never want to make a judgment call on what level of appropriation is going on with a coastal california tribe member using a plain's indian style for a sporting event i mean, there are 14 bands of chumash, and they don't always see eye to eye with each other on issues like this, before bringing in someone off of a sioux reservation to add into the discussion

Please keep in mind a portion of the RWM mougle sphere really hates Deadspins guts; as it basically only exists because new owners of the founders previous company bought it to say keep politics out of sports and they said no and quit when their editor got fired. It is an entire right wing culture war project to ensure sports remains a right adjacent pastime. It's very easy to misrepreset a sub only newspaper article. Remember all of this is coming from effectively hostile direct competitors who are incentivised to portray the worst possible version of events. They would call "we should talk about sports teams use of racial loaded imagery" and an example photo as accusing a specific person of being hitler 2. The second one would just be tracking down the subject and repeating claim one, it's not really substantiating it, just saying "someone called you racist, are you racist?" And acting shocked that literally anyone says no and how dare the first person allegedly make that accusation. Just like Vice I think a mysterious well funded lawsuit in a plaintiff friendly jurisdiction is being fished for. Barrel Cactaur fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Nov 29, 2023 |

You're mistaking Defector for Deadspin, all the people worth a poo poo left Deadspin a few years ago to have a worker co-op after that editor got fired. This is all new people, similar idea but yeah all this was set in motion from the hulk hogan gawker thing forever ago.

Hannity is hosting and moderating a debate tonight between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis. https://news.yahoo.com/desantis-newsom-face-off-fox-051643250.html Not sure what Newsom thinks he can get out of this. I don't see a scenario where Sean runs a fair debate here or doesn't put his finger on the scale. Assuming he's the one coming up with the questions, all I can imagine is "Governor DeSantis, why has your great free state of Florida thrived so much under your leadership?" "Governor Newsom, why is the state of California such a disaster and why are millions of people fleeing your violent hellscape of a state?

The Islamic Shock posted:Most of them will be writers for late-night shows One thing that bugs me about these ridiculous stories is that people like this woman obviously had peers that could speak up to debunk or corroborate their narrative but nobody does so everyone takes it at face value. "Yeah Staci? Total porn addict in high school, she kept getting busted watching Brazzers on her phone in homeroom sophomore year." uh huh. That's why I'm always curious about hearing from people that went to school with these folks since it often paints a very different picture than the one they are trying to depict in the school board meeting.

The TL;DR, if this is the thing I think it is, is that the woman claimed that seeing two characters in a book share a kiss sent her on a spiraling porn addiction and she attempted to kill herself at 13. It was, shockingly enough, not based in fact.

I mean "oh no we can't show kids gay people holding hands or else they'll catch it and be ruined forever" is a stupid-rear end bigoted argument but at least the end goal of shutting down all public LGBTQ displays of affection as a means of control is a sadly recognizable one. "I saw two characters kiss in a comic book and it directly led me to becoming a porn addict" is, like, hoolee poo poo these people are swinging for fences even Comstock himself could have hardly imagined. Children are too innocent and pure to be exposed to such lewd displays such as kissing now? Like at least Ted Bundy told James Dobson that it all started with beat-up playboys, and not what appears to be a screenshot from a random episode of Steven Universe, Jesus.
