Shut the fuck up, Cherry. You represent a dark age.
Don't have to worry about that too much with the Blackhawks, as their name is based on an army unit and not actual slang or anything derogatory, unlike the Redskins.
Anyone who's upset about the Blackhawks is just getting way too loaded on social justice soda.
Also welcome to the hockey family.
Good to know, like I said I'm still in the process of learning about the team
Cherry is scum and an embarrassment to this country
Hey gang, so last week I made a post about getting into hockey after seeing a couple of Flyers games in-person while visiting a friend in Philly, but lamented not having a team to root for being in Wisconsin. After watching some games with various teams since then, I think I'm cool with picking the Blackhawks as my team, since they're just a stone's throw away from me in Chicago (I decided my rule of not being able to root for an Illinois sports team was kind of dumb). They seem like a really talented team that are exciting to watch. So now I'm in the process of educating myself about them as a team while at the same time learning the ins and outs of the sport in general.
I caught the tail-end of the game last night against St. Louis and found myself getting really excited with they scored that goal in overtime. Which I guess is a good sign as far as fandom goes XD
Also, arguments about cultural appropriation aside, their goalie masks are badass as shit:
Yeah I'm native american and the blackhawks name doesn't bother me one bit.
Redskins and Indians though.... blechhhhh

Cherry was a pro-Iraq war guy if I recall. Not surprising, and the dude never gave a fuck about keeping his dumb ideas to himself. The deep south isn't just a place in America.
What about the Seminoles? It is a tribe so I don't think that would be offensive.
I don't follow US college sports that closely so I had to look that one up. I'm not really sure
I'm about 1/4 mi'kmaq, if that is what you are wondering
I just didn't think people used the term Native American much anymore, especially in Canada, but I'm sure I'm wrongI don't follow US college sports that closely so I had to look that one up. I'm not really sure

Hakstol becoming mad line-juggler. Schenn back on top line, Cousins goes from healthy scratch to 3C. Read goes from 1st line to 4th line.

Getting out of the DC bubble actually made me *more* inclined to think of many Trump voters as motivated by racism and sexism, not less.

On the west coast, liberal kooks as we are, I hear indigenous, first nations, etc. Of course some people still say Indian but they're usually much older and often corrected
Florida State has an actual deal with the tribe to use both the name and the iconography for athletics.
Welcome to Hawks-age. Feel free to post questions you might have in here or PM them to me if you feel they're really stupid.Hey gang, so last week I made a post about getting into hockey after seeing a couple of Flyers games in-person while visiting a friend in Philly, but lamented not having a team to root for being in Wisconsin.

Eat a fucking dick, you dinosaur.don cherry garbage
This. Democrats need to fucking learn to vote. Kills them every time in midterms and now we're stuck with cheeto for 4 years because of it.Somebody ought to tell Grapes that fewer people voted for Donald Trump than voted for Mitt Romney. The whole "silent majority" not wanting to admit they were for Trump didn't actually exist. Blue voters just didn't come out in big enough numbers.
Remember, this is what Rogers is paying him to do. Spit uninformed, xenophobic commentary on Saturday nights.

"Native American" is far and away the go-to term in the US
Nothing he said in those serious of tweets is uniformed or xenophobic. He's just gloating that the guy he liked won. He's also right about how he won, the polls never counted all those people that preferred not to say they were voting for Trump. Unless "left wing weirdo" is xenophobic, there's nothing really that bad about those tweets.
Cherry's not wrong about "undecided" voters supporting Trump. GAF isn't representative of the entire voting block, but when threads like "do you actually know anyone voting for Trump" exist in a two-party country, you have to think that they're remaining silent.
I'm disappointed that a country that elected and then re-elected its first black president wouldn't elect their first female president. But the world has changed a lot since then. I definitely think domestic terrorism, Syrian refugees, and Brexit had an effect.
Then I thought about Canada's federal election last year. Yes, we elected a Liberal majority with a more progressive prime minister. You could even draw a parallel with the US election (a prevailing theme was experience vs. change). But the Liberals only got 39% of the popular vote, compared to 32% for the Conservatives; not a huge margin. And remember the Conservatives were dogged with controversy: Mike Duffy and Senate expenses, Robocalls, the niqab, a "Barbaric Practices" tip line, etc. All that and they still got 32% of the vote.
So Canada did better, but not by much.
Yeah he's gloating that the guy he likes who happens to be a xenophobic fuckhole and supports his bullshit and anyone who doesn't agree with him is a 'leftie'.
Arguably we have two parties splitting the liberal vote though.

I wish we had two parties splitting the conservative vote.
