NOT COOL, DUDES.

Well, there are some super racist versions, but it's a lot older than that and its origins were mostly just in nonsense words. There's a great Alec Guinness movie called Kind Hearts and Coronets where a character just casually drops the racist version of it, and it's crazy. That's obviously hardly the only time that happened in a movie, but I remember doing a double take when I saw it on TCM a few years ago.

The main reason I want it to happen is because Darvish is a really good pitcher and because the baseball team I like could use a guy like that.

Man, Towers' death is so sad; it's pretty rare for thyroid cancer to end up being fatal.

The real outrage this offseason is the Brewers' diabolical plan to trap good players in their web of mediocrity.

Jesus, they better not funk this up just because they won't give him a 5th year.

Why would gloating be an option? History. Native Americans have been depicted or seen as the menacing Other or enemy basically since we got here, so the idea that using them as mascots was somehow a compliment is just so....white. It's, like, "well, we basically annihilated these indigenous peoples, but naming our sports teams after them is a nice olive branch. We're cool, right?" It doesn't require someone actively sitting there thinking, "THIS'll show 'em" for it to be the kind of fucked up, rubbing people's face in it-thing that seems ingrained in white America when it comes to minorities. Bottom line, this is based out of the idea of Native Americans being seen as a terrifying, dangerous enemy. It's not a compliment or sign of respect.

I don't even understand the infatuation with Native American sports team names to begin with. Gloating? Supposedly respecting a worthy enemy? It's so weird.

That dudes face... he knows it ain't even his time... just a straight up dafuq face. That whole thing...it's like insanity distilled into picture form.

[expletive], white dudes are a special clueless kind of bold:

I agree; this offseason HAS been as boring as a Foo Fighters album.

I'm assuming that a farewell tour gives them the opportunity to double dip; sell a ton of the old merchandise before it goes away, and then sell the new stuff like crazy when it comes out, too. But hey, at least this embarrassment is finally getting the boot. Indians, you gotta put off your WS hopes for one more year.

I wonder what Cubs slow cook in the clubhouse.
