From Wikipedia: “The Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League indirectly derive their name from Black Hawk. Their first owner, Frederic McLaughlin, was a commander with the 333rd Machine Gun Battalion of the 86th Infantry Division during World War I, nicknamed the “Black Hawk Division” after the war leader. McLaughlin named the hockey team in honor of his military unit.” It’s the LOGO that’s racist. Change it to a soldier and all should be fine.
Well, they’re the last team with an “offensive” name to still have it. The Washington Football Team ditched theirs. The Cleveland Guardians ditched theirs. Atlanta,…YOUR MOVE!
Well this randomly took a race related turn. I don’t know if it was last year during the BLM protests, but do I remember when people were pushing to have the Redskins change their name, and only when their profits were going down did they finally relent. Good times, am I right?
Timely considering the shit this teacher in California did.
Michelle honey leave that poor fourth wall alone, it’s been through enough lately and it never hurt anybody 😛
