That's not even debatable, so I won't bother with a rebuttal. Just know you are wrong.<br /><br />Now you are free to like him all you want, obviously, but don't think for one second that your adoration makes him any less deplorable. Liking him merely calls into question your own judgment and taste.<br /><br />Oh, and please do not delude yourself into thinking you have anything to teach McBone about the great Larry Doby.<br /><br />nwbBillBow Bagginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123342571761657374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228286372547466261.post-72803692572122342302011-09-05T20:31:34.327-05:002011-09-05T20:31:34.327-05:00Look, the team was named after the Braves, and als...Look, the team was named after the Braves, and also after a native american that had played for the Spiders. As far as chief wahoo goes, it's a caricature. You should google caricature and maybe you'll understand then that that's all it is. Yes, it does come from a time when creative peoples made friendly funny images without thinking what someone 50 years later would think of them. You're the same kind of person that would ban some of the greatest cartoons ever made simply because they were an homage to african-american culture of the 1930's and 1940's. While I will admit Chief Wahoo is hardly that, it is however a beloved symbol of this team, and has been for many many years. I personally believe that it is just a cartoon, just a caricature, and as such is not to be taken seriously. Certainly is not meant to be taken OFFENSIVE. Plus, this symbol came into prominence around the same time that the Cleveland Indians were leaping and bounding over the rest of Major League Baseball when it came to civil rights, by being the 1st team in the American League to hire a black player, that went by the name of Larry Doby. Who should be just as famous as Jackie Robinson, since he was brough up from the negro leagues mere months after Robinson.Low-Deyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209835189395565138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228286372547466261.post-39219339167377260772010-04-01T00:25:07.852-05:002010-04-01T00:25:07.852-05:00Better an obscene amount of merchandise than obsce...Better an obscene amount of merchandise than obscene merchandise.
