My indigenous friend won’t even watch a Blackhawks game because it’s so offensive but here she is selling her soul

Why are blackhawks offensive?

Best of luck seriously

Yeah - but can she cook?

Not a meme. Would be nice if people stopped tagging things wrong

La quête (in french is pronunced the same as Lacquette) means "the quest". And now I am thinking about qwest memes ...

Cthulhu2121
Personally? Because it's an obvious attempt to gain goodwill after the shit show that was the two rape lawsuits that happened. 1/2
Cthulhu2121
I am super fucking happy for this woman and about the fact that an indigenous woman is now working in the NHL. But I will not let them 2/3
Cthulhu2121
Have a PR win like this after they covered up a rape of a player for a decade, during which the rapist went to work at a HS and raped a kid

Scelestus
All you need to do is google Kyle Beach and Blackhawks. Plenty of news coverage, and evidence/admitted guilt.
ValamirCleaver
Thank you, I found it after searching for a while.
pewterpenguin
It's a shame she's hired by the Blackhawks as a scout considering the logo the Blackhawks STILL use...
MithridateEupator
What's wrong with the logo? Looks like it depicts a member of the Sauk Tribe (Blackhawk's tribe) and doesn't do it in an offensive way.
pewterpenguin
The Blackhawk family said to stop using the name and logo.
pewterpenguin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Blackhawks_name_and_logo_controversy
MithridateEupator
Read the first line under 'Addressing the controversy'
pewterpenguin
Read the third paragraph where it talks about the same group cutting all ties with the Blackhawks
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
Blackhawks do a lot of work with Native Americans and their logo/name isn’t derogatory like say the Redskins was. Don’t see the issue at all
pewterpenguin
Name a native group in that region that hasn't asked them to stop. Even the Blackhawk family has asked them to stop.
covideokilledtheradiostar
What would you think of "The Chicago Mexicans" and a logo being Pancho Villa? Same thing...not intended or even come across as derogatory
covideokilledtheradiostar
but at best, it's tone deaf.
covideokilledtheradiostar
I agree, there are differences between "blackhawks" and "redskins" but there are also enough similarities. It may make sense to just not use
covideokilledtheradiostar
the name of a ethnicity or culture to brand your sports team.
MithridateEupator
Mexicans aren't from Chicago though? Black Hawk's tribe is from Illinois.
covideokilledtheradiostar
That is true and a fair point. A slight argument for them keeping the logo, but still not a very strong one. Again, this goes back to a
covideokilledtheradiostar
bunch of white dudes going "indians are cool" and making a logo out of that. We did that ALL THE TIME 100 years ago. MOST companies have
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
Those two aren’t comparable at all when the name comes from the owners platoon name which was the name of a Native American chief. It’s 1/2
covideokilledtheradiostar
They're comparable in that it's the same end result...whether the platoon used it first or not is kinda irrelevant. It's the same damn thing
covideokilledtheradiostar
...bunch of white dudes taking another culture's name/likeness. Again, not necessarily derogatory, but pretty fucking weird.
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
nowhere close to calling a team the “Mexicans.” It’s calling a team after a historical figure who happens to be Native American. No 2/3
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
racists undertones or tone deafness like you are alluding to 3/3
VodkaReindeer
We have a restaurant chain called Pancho Villa
covideokilledtheradiostar
And I'm assuming they serve Mexican food. So, yea, the context there actually makes some sense. Still, it'd be weird for a Mexican
covideokilledtheradiostar
restauranteur opening a chain of burger joints called "George Washington". Again, not offensive per se just...weird and kinda tacky.
SerenePrincess013
She's playing for the Hawks. So there's still a chance I can be the first female goalie for the Blues. (In all seriousness, >
covideokilledtheradiostar
With the last round of rule changes (in terms of bad hits/fighting) I think it's time we give women a shot in the NHL.
mrthewhitee
There is no rule against women in NHL, they've had women play in the past, but they haven't made it very far and not many.
covideokilledtheradiostar
The rule changes I'm referring to is cracking down on the obnoxious hits.
covideokilledtheradiostar
(Not that women can't deliver obnoxious hits as well, but there is the issue of a 280lb defensemen cross checking a 160lb center)
SerenePrincess013
They've needed to give us a shot in the league for a while. Guys pretend like they're the only ones that can fight, but my record of>
covideokilledtheradiostar
And, if not that, start elevating women's teams to the same level as the NHL. I don't think enough people realize how much fun women's
covideokilledtheradiostar
hockey is to watch. You all know the game as good as any guy does!
SerenePrincess013
"Most Penalty Minutes" still stands from when I was a kid. & I played goalie. Hexall might have been an inspiration to my play style...
pewterpenguin
She's a scout, she's not playing for them. This was part of the Blackhawks attempting to keep their logo
MatthewBecker
Shes also really good and knowledgeable about the sport being an Olympian
DecentUsernameUnavailable
Playing the sport vs. Scouting the sport are two different things. Her exp. gives background, but she will have to learn a ton to succeed.
Whatwhatsomethingbutt
Much like the Braves work with the one indigenous group that supports them. I love the team, but they should really become the Hammers
RezzyCat
The one group only supports because donations $$$
pewterpenguin
Yeah, I mean CNYC, NCAI, AICC, and Blackhawks' family have all said to stop using the logo
SerenePrincess013
Good on her. Not just for being indigenous & in the NHL, but for getting into a Cup-winning franchise.)
BitchButcher
As a European it's always weird to hear Americans speak about their club as a franchise ... like it's a fast food chain.
BabeAfett
Isn't that the way Europeans talk about their soccer/ football clubs?
BitchButcher
1/2 As a German I have the privilege to look down on the other European clubs who are owned by international billionaires. We have the
BitchButcher
2/2 50+1 rule meaning 51% of the club has to be hold by the members. There are annual meetings with 1000s of members/fans voting on issues.
PepperoniAndFingernailPizza
I'm a sharks fan, just wondering what a cup winning franchise is? Does that mean you win a coffee cup?
SerenePrincess013
Your time will come. If the Blues can get one, ya'll can too.
Canadoug
*cries in Leafs fan*
DukeDarkwood
You can always take solace in the glory days, and the fact that you have the second-most cup wins in the NHL. Meanwhile: Let's! Go! Hawks!
