Panel raps offensive sports mascots By Ebony M. Moore Sara Fajardo /@UNITY.org photo Indian Country Today Columnist Suzan Shown Harjo takes questions during the panel “Mascots: Sports and Stereotypes” on Thursday. Harjo is part of a fight to rid team mascots based on negative Native Americans stereotypes. Verbal sparks flew at a panel discussion about offensive sports mascots hosted by the Native American Journalists Association on Thursday. During introductions at the “Mascots: Sports and Stereotypes” workshop, NAJA board member Dan Agent expressed disappointment at the low turnout and remarked that maybe the topic was “not as hot as we would have liked for it to be.” But his concerns were gradually put to rest. The discussion heated up when the issue of whether it was appropriate for media outlets to use such names was raised. Chadwick “Contassel” Smith, the principal chief of Cherokee Nation, said that he views the media as an adversary and does not often enough aid in the battle for a Native American democracy. “Unless this media issue is upfront with their transgressions, they’re a part of the problem too,” Smith said.

The case is now pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals. www.museum.upenn.edu/new/events/calendar.php

March/April] stirred up great memories. Sam designed several brochures for HUP when I directed its public-relations department in the mid-1960s. He also taught my graphic-design class at the Annenberg School. I remember one class assignment: to depict wind. Using ripped and cut colored papers, Sam could make a flat surface vibrate. Always open to creative possibilities, he encouraged us to trust our own hunches and take chances. Baltimore It is shocking that Penn students may request any gender roommates for on-campus housing. Even more astounding is the reasoning for it: to make students feel at home [ March/April]. First, do the trustees and administration really believe that this policy will not Gender-neutral housing will create more problems than it solves. Most parents would not want their son rooming with his girlfriend. Plain City, OH Appalled by Alma Mater We are appalled that Dr. Gutmann and the Penn administration are allowing mixed-gender on-campus housing. We have four children, the oldest in ninth grade. We will discourage them from attending our alma mater as long as you are not providing a safe environment that upholds key moral traditions of all civilizations. Conshohocken, PA

The issue of names with regard to team mascots resurfaced recently when the Star Tribune announced it might abandon its policy of not using American Indian nicknames in its sports pages. Instead of banning their use, the newspaper would use guidelines about what names would be used.

However, for an increasingly important member of any professional baseball club especially at the minor league level there is no off-season. Phillie Phanatic "The difference between the major and minor leagues is that, in the majors, the clubs have stars they can use to promote their ball club," said Dave Oster, general manager of the Lake Elsinore Storm, a minor league affiliate of the San Diego Padres. "In San Diego they have a (Phil) Nevin or a (Ryan) Klesko. In the minor leagues, for the most part, people don't know who the players are." Enter, the mascot.

Putting the moccasin on the other foot: A media history of the "Fighting Whities." ABSTRACT The use of American Indian mascots or symbols for professional and collegiate sports teams has stirred considerable controversy in recent years because Native Americans in North America maintain that such symbols and mascots are stereotypical and dehumanizing. In 2002, an intramural basketball team in Colorado decided to change its name to the "Fighting Whites" as a parody of the name "Fighting Reds," used by a nearby high school. This article analyzes the rhetorical nature of the "Fighting Whites" (or, as they also were known, "Fighting Whities") short but meteoric journey in both print and electronic media. Introduction Native American sports mascots became an active political issue during the late 1960s, with the founding of the American Indian Movement (AIM) in Minneapolis . Because of AIM, some of the first Indian stereotypes fell in the Midwest . At the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), for example, a chapter of AIM spearheaded a change of mascot from "Indians" to "Mavericks," a beef animal with an attitude, in 1971. The change was popular on campus in part because the visual depiction of "Owumpie," the "Omaha Indian," was tacky - tacky enough to make the Cleveland Indians' Chief Wahoo look like a real gentleman. The student body of UNO eventually voted to give "Owumpie" the boot. Stanford University changed its Indian mascot to a cardinal at about the same time. During the late 1960s, the National Congress of American Indians launched a campaign to bring an end to the use of Indian sports mascots and other media stereotypes. [ 2 ]

The mascot I'm most familiar with is the Phillie Phanatic, and he just loves to repeatedly provoke the opposing team and get people all riled up. That's part of his act, but I've seen it backfire on him once or twice; he's been on the receiving end of punching, kicking, and general ass-kicking by people that he's worked up into a frenzy. He makes good money , though, and a ton more from endorsements, from what I understand.

Mini-Essay on Steve Case and AOL I ntroduction: (back to top) In popular culture, it seems that America has a fascination with Native American imagery. Many drive cars that are Cherokee, Navajo, or Winnebago models and go to schools with mascots like the Warriors, Braves, Indians and Fighting Reds. On the weekends, they pull for professional sports teams such as the Atlanta Braves, Washington Redskins, and the Cleveland Indians. For more than 30 years, the debate has been raging over the use of Native American imagery, in the form of names and mascots, by high schools, college and professional teams. The case for keeping sports mascots and logos the way they are seems to have its entrenched supporters, but the opponents of using Indian images and names to represent sports teams are growing behind a large grassroots effort of civil rights organizations, multicultural groups, Native American activist organizations and tribal leaders. These activist organizations continually work to banish clownish figures like the Cleveland Indian's Chief Wahoo and racially insensitive names like the Washington Redskins. These activists argue that these images and names are demeaning and dehumanizing. Does it matter that these symbols are caricatures of human beings or of a race of people? Does this imagery promote racism?
