Bill Bans Native-American Mascots At Mass. Public Schools

[GML]

At the rate we are going, I’m surprised the New England Patriots haven’t been renamed to something more “friendly”. Maybe the red coats, since communism is coming?

I always thought it was funny that the Patriots' original jerseys were red. Guess they didn't really think that one through

 

[Shire Guy]

I'm Hungarian. You know what really offends me?

Uggh. I got nothing. My peeps just go with the flow. But......

How about reparations? Ya that's right you know why?

Damn it. I still got nothing.

I’m an Irish-Hungarian mix, my people always said it was bad combo - the Irish have a quick temper and the Hungarian quietly hold a grudge forever.

 

[fshalor]

So the state flag and the f***ing state name are now off menu? Wow. Nice?

 

[imgone]

Is that not a great way to honor the Native Americans?? I mean WTF! Stop trying to ban everything in this stupid state!

I have a couple of friends that are Native American and they think it is beautiful. Funny you mention the Patriots, but the minute men they have at Gillette are no longer allowed to fire their muskets when the Patriots score.

Land of Lakes products.....
They played to the woke mob, having a female Indian on the label might offend native Americans.
So what do they do with the label?
They removed the Indian and kept the land.
Gee, wasn't that done before?
Brilliant
In the name of "wokeness" and sensitivity, this is what MA would be doing to native Americans, denigrating whatever pride and honor they receive by having teams and schools named after them and their culture.

Saugus just built a brand new high school that has a three story tall Indian Chief on the side of the building.View attachment 817335

Yup.

I remember that came up at the time they built the place. "What if we have to change the name? Won't that cost millions?"

"Nonsense!" came the response. "Nobody would ever force us to change the name."

...uh-huh. Sure.

 

[Mellero47]

Could somebody please ask the Native tribes affected how  they feel about the mascots? Are they complaining? Are they fine with it?

 

[usp45ct]

So rather than do real work, we will pass laws with no victims. so Awesome Maura.

 

[Dennis in MA]

If they try to to take the name Sachems away from Middleboro High, they are liable to become the Colt 45's or something similar, with all of the gun shops and guns owned in the town.
I'm surprised that Lakeville became the Lakers with its rich Native American Indian heritage.

They could make it ALMOST Native American and go with the Lakeville Ass Wompers.

named after the lake of course.

 

[Dennis in MA]

Maybe that's next . Rename all the native places because it's not right.

I will go with what I wanted my street name to be for the last 20 years and my wife veto'd it at the very last second (bluebird lane??? I'm gonna live on a Bluebird Lane???)

It isn't Native, but sounds it. . . .

Gatadama.

It's actually Italian.

"Hey'a yooooo. Getadama Lake!"

I was gonna live on Getadama Way. . I was sad. My kids were sad. Wife was relieved.

Saugus ran the name & logo by native American groups for permission. No problem they said.

Indeed. But it won't be the tribes they have to reckon with, if this law passes.

Remember: this is a nanny state. They'll ban something for your own good, whether you like it or not.

 

[drgrant]

Yup.

...uh-huh. Sure.

Someone probably thought "well mass has an indian on the state flag so this should be ok"

I'm sure there are legislators working fastidiously to get that changed to a dildo or something. Probably adorned with flames or something that ascribes a level of dryness.

 

[IPSC_DRL]

Is it still ok to tell polish jokes????

I always enjoy a good one. Just tell it slowly

 

[Picton]

Is it still ok to tell polish jokes????

Here's one:

I went out to the bar and left my wife at home, polishing a breastplate. Because she said she wanted a night in, shining armor.

Wait till people find out the name Massachusetts was an Indian tribe. Oh the horror

They are erasing Native Americans from society. That is very white of them.

 

[71montess]

I’m half Polish and half Scottish, IDGAF if you call a football team the Polacks. These Injuns need to get a life, and their hand wringing liberal friends need to grow a set of balls .

Don't worry; they got a Native American heritage month.

 

[BigTimber]

Stupid Indians don’t know what’s good for them. Fags and liberal white karens will teach them what’s best.(Poll how Indians felt when this nonsense first got going)
