Quinn to Declare war on Blackhawk Name

[ironeagle]

I am hearing from several unnamed sources that I know in the Chicago area that Quinn if he wins Reelection is going to Declare War on the Chicago Blackhawks  as being RACIST against American Indians.  Why because it is working for his Chicago Machine Buddy Obama with the Washington Redskins.  I highly Doubt the Blackhawk Faithful are going to stand for this as much as the people around DC will.

I can see the racial implications of the Redskin name, but weren't the Blackhawks the name of an actual indian tribe?

Black Hawk was a warrior chief of the Sauk tribe. The team is named after a man, so you wouldn't think anyone would have a problem with that except the PC police.

Remember they also forced the Fighting Illini to get rid of their Mascot the Chief a few years ago. They could so do the same to the Hawks in a second.

You're right...the "we're human beings, not mascots" argument.

Well Quinn is an idiot.
The government needs to stay out of these issues, especially in Illinois where we have much bigger and more important issues to deal with.

Then again, occupying that knucklehead Quinn with something petty like a hockey teams nickname means that he will maybe stay out of the important issues. The guy lacks any sense at all.

For anyone who keeps up on the news, it is easy to notice that Quinns press secretary is a busy busy person these days and will use any opportunity to get Quinns name in the news.

maybe a little mouth to mouth resuscitation would have gotten him a bigger article on front page.

Perhaps Quinn should stick to government issues and leave sports to its own devices.

Isn't it strange that when it is time to reign in spending, they always cut the things that will hurt the citizens the most. Keep the pork cooking, but lets cut teachers and police and whatever other social services that can be felt the quickest.

But it sure didn't stop Madigan from spending $34 million or more on a "new school" because the enrollment was pushing the limits of the current school. Instead of adding on, just build a new school. Sure! We got bags and bags of money just laying around. I remember when going to school and the enrollment was such that we needed expansion, the school put up some mobile home classrooms till the situation either passed or was alleviated naturally. I know $343 million seems like a drop in the bucket, but when you keep putting more and more drops in the bucket, it will eventually fill.

Illinois answer is not more and higher taxes.....it is lower taxes to attract industry back and stop spending what you don't have. there is technology out there that can be utilized to make the roads last longer so we don't need to spend so much repairing them so often. but what purpose would that serve other than to not need to fill pot holes so much. and how many people (state workers) does it take to fill a pot hole?....about 3 trucks, 6 people with one shoveling the hot mix in the hole.

Quinn should declare war on the pension mess in this state.

Iron, are these unnamed sources people in Chicago with opportunity for information? Or just Blackhawk fans that are speculating?


Nice topic on the move to ban references to American Indians as mascots.

It seems that with the state of reservations and the difficulties they face, that maybe their approach should be to embrace all these teams, and use them to their advantage.

Unnamed sources deep in the Chicago Machine that are Huge Blackhawk Fans and people that want to keep the Name as it is.
