Rick Vaughn also nailed Corey haim during the filming of Lucas, so his opinion doesn’t mean much. But, as a guy who didn’t nail the haimster, I think it’s dumb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Removing them from the public eye/image renders them to the "out of sight - out of mind" realm. Every team/organization that removes any reference to Native American's, puts them closer and closer to irrelevance. It minimalizes their significance. I think keeping them in the forefront should be encouraged. But I'm not a racist liberal, so... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

listen2me 23 1,541 Posted July 23, 2021 I know a Native who became a Redskins fan way back as a kid because he thought it was cool. In fact he would have on his old school redskins hat with the badass Native American warrior logo much of the times I ran into him. But then again he isnt from this weak generation who cry about everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted July 23, 2021 Youtube comments are ripping this move. Most videos about this getting downvoted like mad. Best comment I saw was that it sounds like an adult diaper company. To me its like guardians of the factory of sadness. the only video I saw getting upvoted about this was a black man ripping cancel culture over this, which sounds about right. As blacks become right-wing, you get black pundits attacking these sorts of things. Also, the wordmark for Guardians is in cursive, but cursive hasn't been taught in schools in a long time. Nice way to reach out to kids! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted July 23, 2021 BTW, here in LA, latinos wear chief wahoo caps all the time. They love him. They think he is awesome. You can buy bootleg chief wahoo caps in stores.
