I think originally it was a reference to an Indian name. At one point they were the Blackhawks which was shortened to Hawks. _
The indians are already phasing out their famous chief wahoo logo for a very run-of-the-mill, boring, yet politically correct block letter "C"
Just found this. http://www.texomashomepage.com/stor...-indians-logo-ne/23311/RgZJkbsFnUu-4h6Q5htAXA _
Bunch of punks cracking jokes about Native Americans, its pathetic and cowardly. If you think its funny then go to a reservation in South Dakota and go up to them and start calling them "redskins" and see how it goes.
Interesting take on the Chicago Blackhawks name. http://blackhawkup.com/2014/06/19/will-chicago-blackhawks-change-name/ _
So many Indian names throughout the US military. Blackhawk, Apache, Tomahawk, Chinook, Comanche, quite a long list. http://stewmagnuson.blogspot.com/2010/09/army-tradition-of-naming-aircraft-after.html _
What? the Vikings does offend the Scandonavians. I know there are Scandonavian people out there that want it changed, if it does indeed offend them, then yes the "Vikings" should change their name.
U.S. government allows that to happen but they have no problem unnecessarily overstepping their boundaries to make a bureaucratic mess with the Redskins name, that they will probably change back once it gets appealed anyway
I know you are just looking for more attention but I will just reiterate what has previously been said, no Scandinavians are offended by the term Viking in fact it is a point of pride. You also need to learn how to spell.
Who would win in a fight, a Redskin or a Zeta? And would the outcome be different if it was down at the border as opposed to a reservation in South Dakota?
Well I read a report that says differently but all im saying is that if the Scandinavians do find it offensive, then it needs to be changed. If they dont, then keep it.
I have no clue, these internet tough guys should go visit both and then come back and tell us who would win in a fight....if they survive.
So if some Irish people are offended by the term Fighting Irish then Notre Dame should change that name too, right? Celtic is offensive to some Irishman. Hurricanes have "destroyed lives and entire families", how about being a little sensitive there? Blue Devils? Yeah, fuck the Catholic Church. _
You didn't read any report, I would challenge you to provide a link but most here already know you are full of shit.
Why dont you go up to a group of Scandinavians and start calling them Vikings. Tell me how it goes. Vikings were people who raped and pillaged people, im sure they love being associated with those losers. (And yes I did read an article that they were upset, I NEVER realized it was an issue until I read that article)
