LAUREL'S OFFICE-THEMED PARTY AT ZETA TAU ZETA TOMORROW NIGHT

― max, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:33 (seventeen years ago) link

i just want to say FUCK POLITICAL CORRECTNESS! That aside, I seriously think that getting rid of Chief Illiniwek was a blow to the name of college sports. There are a lot of teams that are named after tribes and shit, do they have their mascot taken? No. The thing that pisses me off the most about this is that the stipulations to wear the costume are ridiculous. They HAVE to be a certain amount of Native American, they HAVE to have some sort of background in it. Not only that, but the dance is a real dance. Who in the hell do these people think they are? I say we get a petition to bring Chied Illiniwek back.
----------
I would like to personally thank Dan and the former Chiefs for their years of service in carrying on our proud tradition here at the University of Illinois. You all carried yourselves with dignity and class every time you set foot on the playing surface and I & my family appreciate it a great deal.
I would also like to remind the members of this group, that the Chief is retired but not gone or banned…With help and support I believe we can bring him back at a later time!
Judging by the numbers last night & today I would say, "the needs of the 'many' should be able to triumph over the complaints of a 'few'."
----------
Has anyone ever heard a comeback from anyone on why fighting irish is accepted and the Chief is so "racist" and "closeminded"? I don't understand why one is okay and is a sense of pride for a group of people, but another group of people, who people have tried hard not to offend, takes it all as an insult. It's a tribute to the state's past. I just don't understand it.
-----------
The guy who wrote that article in the post dispatch is a moron...he says that we have been ignoring this for years but he obviously did not do his homework because we had the blessing of the last cheif of the ancestors of the illini tribe. It wasn't until recently when the last cheif died and a new cheif was elected that the tribe changed thier mind....
-----------
the fact that this happened makes me hate minorities

Here's the Trib lady's email and the email for the editor:
----@tribune.com,

Since when did the Chief do a tomahawk chop? I think it's time to flood her inbox asking for a correction.

OMG that poor kid keeps hitting "cheif" the wrong way around and then switches up at the last minute to fuck up "thier" -- institution of higher learning in having bigger problems than keeping mascot SHOCKER.

Umm I have to admit, I will wind up with a bunch of sympathy for the first non-white person who gets all clever and tries to throw a "Douchebag White People" party.

― nabisco, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:38 (seventeen years ago) link

"Douchebag White People" party = every Greek party at my campus

LAUREL'S OFFICE-THEMED PARTY AT ZETA TAU ZETA TOMORROW NIGHT

Good. The great majority of them will have to dress like pregnant Park Slope soccer moms and pretend not to "get" sarcasm.

― Laurel, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:40 (seventeen years ago) link

hah here's a good one from the 'left'

I have a lot of opinions about this issue that probably aren't "politically correct" to post on this wall, but my question is this: Aren't there more important things going on in the world today that need to be dealt with than bitching about college mascots and symbols? For instance, why don't these people who must bitch about something put up a good fight to stop terrorism or child abuse or something of that nature. As a U of I alum, I can say their efforts would be much more appreciated in other areas than desecrating OUR CHIEF!!!!

― deej, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:40 (seventeen years ago) link

oh never mind i misread and thought she said something about iraq in there. still obnoxious

― deej, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Umm clearly it would have to be non-white people dressing up as management, pedophiles, or serial killers and being all like "hahaha look at me I'm wearing Abercrombie and eating mayonnaise and being racist and sucking everyone's dick."

― nabisco, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:41 (seventeen years ago) link

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha i would go to that party, and be racist and suck everyone's dick

― max, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:43 (seventeen years ago) link

they are appealing to this overwhelming minority

Um.

Heh.

terrorism or child abuse or something of that nature

What, Alex? If we can drive on parkways and park in driveways, surely we can have overwhelming minorities.

― Laurel, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:46 (seventeen years ago) link

what else is of the same nature as "terrorism" and "child abuse"?

― max, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:48 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah I stopped reading when I got to that phrase

― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh man, we could play games like "Articulate, or Clutch Your Purse?" and "Why Do All These Chinamen Keep Saying They're From Korea?"

― nabisco, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I think those are the games my grandparents play when they have people over.

― max, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh but the best game would be to sing along to songs with the n-word and then look around sheepishly/listen to the awkward silence.

Number of "Indian" sports team tokens in ILLINOIS Braves - 25, Chiefs - 5, Indians - 103, Redskins - 5, Scouts - 1, Warrior - 42 Total - 180

― deej, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:54 (seventeen years ago) link

5 public schools use 'redskins'!!!

― deej, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe their mascots are potatoes?

― nabisco, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:59 (seventeen years ago) link

a potato skin would be a fun mascot

<i>why tacos, tequila, and pinatas might be reasonable elements of a Mexican theme party </i>

i seriously think these features should be part of every party, ever.

"Okay, it's time for the valentine's pinata!"

― kingfish, Friday, 23 February 2007 23:33 (seventeen years ago) link

WHY U BRAKE HEART

― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 23 February 2007 23:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh my god, the valentine's pinata would be a great thing to sell to bitter single people who hate valentine's day.

― accentmonkey, Saturday, 24 February 2007 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha: a friend of mine once creeped out her party by pulling out a heart-shaped pinata an ex-boyfriend had sent her and beating the living crap out of it. But then there was candy, so it was all good again.

― nabisco, Saturday, 24 February 2007 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

the v-day party i went to this year had a heart piñata!

― s1ocki, Sunday, 25 February 2007 00:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Dude, Idaho high schools have hella potato mascots.

Where the hell-heck is Ethan on such a thread?

― Abbott, Sunday, 25 February 2007 07:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Their mascots look like the animated insecty potatoes in that one Devo video.

delta zeta evicts the fat chicks

― max, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

i mean, nothing idiotic that college kids do now really shocks me (since im in college), but i can't believe that there are adults who think they can just get rid of the ugly/fat/nerdy girls and no one will, like, notice??

― max, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:35 (seventeen years ago) link

oh wait they're ex-sorority sisters

― max, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

It's nice to see that half the people they decided to keep quit anyway!

What they don't realize is that the one fraternity of goofy electrical-engineering guys and the one sorority of pudgy smart girls = the best possible P.R. for the greek system, in the eyes of everyone else.

― nabisco, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I've got a proudly feminist/activist friend who's a Zeta, I'm curious to hear what she thinks of this.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:47 (seventeen years ago) link

What the fuck is wrong with them, the NYT photo of the evicted women makes them all look HAWT!! There are some serious racks in evidence.

"all" is a bit of an exaggeration.

at my university the delta zeta's had the same image problem. if they kicked out all the fatties here, the sorority wouldn't have any members left.

I LOVE going to a school where ~5% of the student body participates in Greek life. :D

― jessie monster, Sunday, 25 February 2007 22:08 (seventeen years ago) link

my school has probably 10% greek life shit, and its predictably irritating. the white fraternities are full of d.b.s and the three non-rugby sororities are just as irritating. i love to death the rugby sorority, though.

― max, Sunday, 25 February 2007 22:31 (seventeen years ago) link

co-worker girls i was hanging out with last night were comparing their frat party experiences and speculating on who they think "roofied" them -_-;;

did mickey just post pictures of "fatties" on a thread where we're pissed off about people being assholes about image?

― mh, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:00 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, go back to crying

― modestmickey, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Do the USC football players who set up an "Arian" Facebook group count?
