Can Tommy Hawk do a 1080? Serious question.

-The local native community is roughly 70-30 in favor of the logo
-The name Blackhawk is not a slur
-The logo is not a leering, racist caricature
-Less than 1% of fans wear fake Indian costumes to games
-The team does not use Indian cheers or mascots (Tommy Hawk is a bird)

i'm pretty sure the majority of indians don't care about the redskins, in fact i went to a ski resort on an apache reservation in like 1993 and one of the weirdest things to me was that the apaches working there often wore redskins hats, granted they were super bowl champs at that time but still...

i know it was a long time ago and doesn't really mean anything but always odd how native americans usually don't care about these issues

i don't think that excuses them, but i also agree blackhawks is really debatable just like the redskins logo ironically enough

WTF, Bishop!

Bolts playing like they want to lose.

as long as no southern team wins the cup i can sleep at night. Even better when its one of the original 6. thanks chicago.

man, really did not like the outcome here, but was the right outcome :/

as a Bs fan, seeing the blackhawks win is really tough

also really was wanting stamkos to win. that guy's a winner in my mind, i would love for him to get the cup- seems to be an awesome role model and what an elite talent

can say the same for toews, but f patrick kane!! so damn talented, not likeable

here's to next year

Bolts will probably get another shot

At the expense of the pens.

I'm not sure the 70/30 thing is a point in your favor here. Better than the other way around though, obviously.

Aren't they the people who should be deciding? Certainly not me or you or fucking scotty.

31:06 per game, that's fuckin nuts, plus stuff like this:


Dude's a freak.

“He’s kind of a freak as far as his metabolism and conditioning level,” said Quenneville. “I think the more he plays, the more efficient [he gets], the more he gets going. ”

If 30% of them don't like it and are offended, that should theoretically outweigh the 70% who aren't but wouldn't be affected in any way by a name change.

At no point did I imply it was my decision to make.

Now that the finals are over this, is no longer an NHL thread, just a bunch of sour grapes and non-seq. I'm out this bitch, better luck next year to all

Hm ok
