i'm totally on your side but this happens with everything. our modern cultures thrive on reappropriating other cultures.

And tbh, about half the stadium didn't. So, I dunno. Chiefs kinda suck anyway.

I miss going with my dad. He passed away a few months ago :/

We used to go to Royals and Cards games too.

what an ignorant statement. cultural appropriation is not assimilation.

see, i don't know if this is racist, but it does seem morally uncomfortable to me

How so? The deal between FSU and the Seminole Tribe of Florida was struck between the leaders of both organizations. I can't say for sure, but it's not unreasonable to assume that there are more than a few seminole indians that are not OK with fsu's mascot.

This after all is the same seminole tribe that has casinos all over florida. And I know there are plenty of natives who wholly disapprove of that.

ehhh well at first i thought the comparison would only work if you're a Republican but I'm now reconsidering that.

[john's ego]

i am definitely not a republican.
