I suspect that the image they are using for their "mascot" is a copywrited image and that they could get their asses sued off for using it.

[ThreePantherEightyDuce]

It's the wrong sport, but I was thinking Whitey Ford would look nice on a logo along this lines.

It was just Manifest Destiny this would make the national press. ;-)

Correction: No land was stolen, the american Indians were a conquered people. They lost their land fair and square.

[PLOM...NOT!]

Actually if you look at the picture of the mascot, it sort of looks like Ronald Reagan.

[Psalm 73]

I have no problem with a "Fightin' Whities" logo, why should they have a hard time with "Braves" or "Redskins"?
It's the horrible, demeaning use of animals' names that I think is hurtfull - like Dolphins and Rams! (Go Patriots - repeat)

Unless, of course, you attend the Univeristy of California, Santa Cruz. You would be a Banana Slug. No kidding!

[Attillathehon]

You don't see teams named after the rabbits, mice, rats, squirrels, French, peaceniks, and the like. It's a sign of toughness.

Guess you never heard of the New York University Violets.

[Dukie]

ROTFLMAO Bump for you, GEC !

[John Jorsett]

How about the 'Surrendering Frenchies'?

[Bobby777]

I'm a "white" male with Cherokee Indian roots ... if their goal was to offend it definitely backfired ... this is hilarious ... oh well, I guess it's easier to blame a group than get a job ... more leftist silliness from socialist campus freaks taught by professors who never worked in society anyway ...

[Psalm 73]

"No land was stolen, the american Indians were a conquered people. They lost their land fair and square."

And they were not even the original inhabitants of North America - they conquered the real natives and stole it from them!
How ironic.

Tom Knott had a humorous article about his in today's The Washington Times (March 13, 2002, sports page)

[Caipirabob]

that's exactly what i was thinking... what's with the "Thang" thing?

It's a snipe at our beloved "Southern Drawl". The kind you hear in "Shake N Bake" commercials ("..and Ah hayelped...")

Tune into the Country Music Channel and you'll hear kind of what it sounds like. Better yet, catch a re-run of HEE-HAW!

[ThreePantherEightyDuce]

It reminds me of portraits of the "head" of the "Church of the SubGenius," 'Bob.'

[What Is Ain't]

The hotmail reference is an email address not a web site.

I did the same thing until I thought: D-uh.

[Leto]

I WANT one of those 'Wagonburners' Sweaters (Hockey Jersey for all those south of the Mason Dixon line). WOnder if they have caps too?

[kaboom]

I prefer the Oregon State Beavers.

[Fred Mertz]

I smell green here...

I sure wish I could buy two Fightin' Whities t-shirts; one for me (the red man) and one for my white man boss.

No land was stolen

Little Big Horn?

[John Jorsett]

Interesting. Infowars has registered the fightingwhities.com domain. I wonder if the Fightin' Whities will sue them for it?
