Happiness is five different crayons.
The next time they do that outdoor game in Chicago, I'm definitely gonna go. It's on my bucket list because that just looks fantastic and outdoor hockey game in the winter this is the stuff that makes life worth living!!!!!
Because it sure is shiite ain't watching the Bears. Hahahahahahaha
Packers 38, 49ers 10.
We were way overdue to put it to the Niners for a change. I think the last time we beat them by a lopsided score was the 1996 playoffs 35-14 in the mud.
Be all that as it may, I doubt the fandom want the name changed.
It was not that he was making it up. It was folklore which you know develops at some point in history and eventually becomes legend and then urban myth. You probably know that so much of George Custer that became part of our culture simply was more myth than it was fact. Ice hockey was regarded as a Canadian game and not given as much attention in the States for eons although it was played here. There were only 6 NHL teams until 1967 when expansion began. So no one whether in media or in pop culture really cared how the logo originated simply because there were so many of them both in college, high school, and pro sports. To most sports fans it was just another " Indian. " But it happened to be the best one. Fans called them the " Hawks. " And to many people who did not SEE actual hockey it was though to be a BIRD. As much dismay as it can cause it does no good to reprimand generations of fans for that. But it is good to re-educate them. We all can appreciate that.
Didn't the original franchise owner name the team after his WWI unit called " Blackhawks "which itself was named after Black Hawk?
I'll look into it bro, but you're acting like the second sentence of my statement wasnt "I could be wrong"so I'll look into it.
A combination of nagging injuries, along with rookies, and guys who are just trying to find their roles in the new defense, I can understand where it's still a work in progress. They could use some upgrade help there, but I think we need to evaluate the depth on our front seven on defense, and offensive line for where to spend draft picks. I think that's probably what the front office is already looking at, along with getting their guys who they're concerned about losing, under contract for the future.
The culture for winning just isn't there. Like you said, new ownership is needed. It's a lot like the Washington Commanders. Under new ownership, they're turning into a winner. It's one of those unseen things that is there, and has to be addressed. The days of George Halas, and yes, even Vince Lombardi are in the rear view mirror. In today's game, the players would revolt against them as coaches, and as front office managers.
Just outside of Oregon, IL, by the Rock River, is a memorial statue of Chief Blackhawk. I used to see it quite often, living in the area, and studied the history of him and the Sauk tribe. The Sauk people were killed by the US military, and the few that escaped found refuge in Wisconsin with the Ho Chunk tribe. Eventually, Blackhawk surrendered to the American government, to insure that the handful of his followers could survive.
Good stuff and thanks for the history lesson. It is amazing the **** people make up.You are mistaken on many levels. People are free to have their opinions on this, for sure. However, I am not willing to let misinformation like this course through the internet, especially not courtesy of a Bears fan on our board.
There is no "Blackhawk" tribe. Black Hawk was a man -- a Sac (Sauk) war leader who was captured, tortured, and paraded around the country by the US Army. As Wikipedia puts it (with five linked citations), "The National Congress of American Indians, the American Indian Center of Chicago, The Chi-Nations Youth Council, and over 1,500 Native organizations and advocates from over 150 federally recognized tribes across the country, including members of the Sac and Fox Nation, support changing the team name and logo." It is only the team ownership that declines to change the name.
Take that as you will, and do or don't let it influence your opinion, but don't just make **** up.
I think the only "Dik" here is youself...
The Cubs were me StepGrandmother Dodie’s favorite team. When I was a teenager in the 80’s me and my StepBro would go to her house regular as she lived 2 blocks away. She always had the Cubs on her console tv. She also always stocked donuts and Cookies on the kitchen table so maybe the sugar high and Harry Caray was like some combustion high. Lol
Interesting. I also saw someone reference 1960.1961. Or maybe it was ‘59-60
Naming a team Blackhawks and naming them Redskins are two different things. I do not think the intention of the initial franchise owner was to mock anyone but to pay tribute. I grew up with a small Motorola TV that was filled every night with Cowboys and Indians on 3 networks in the 50s and 60s. So does anyone think we should destroy all the old black and white reruns? It is nonsensical.
Funny Caleb’s reference basically pointed to the fact that the Tribe was totally ok as long as they got more $$. I guess even integrity can be bought. It’s all about the coins.
In 1960 we ran over the 9ers 41-14 in the first of 2 games.
Thank you for good info like a gentleman sir.
