Is This Phoenix Coyote’s Sign Offensive?
Personally I don’t think it’s offensive at all. It just seems like if your nickname is the Blackhawks other teams are going to say they want to scalp you. So if you have a problem with the sign the bigger problem is the team name. I have a problem with neither. But I’m not Native American so what do I know.
UPDATE – I guess borderline offensive signs is this lady’s thing?



i don’t think the name blackhawks is offensive to native americans.. i’m pretty sure the redskins and the indians are because those are pretty much slurs.
and that sign is sick
Any chance a person from Arizona gets to show off racism there gonna show off racism, it the Arizona way.
The Native Americans kind of got the shit end of the stick.
1. It makes no sense because Indians were the ones doing the scalping.
2. “Indian” isn’t a slur. It might not be PC, but it’s not a slur.
3. Bostonwhereretardsflourish is himself severely retarded.
Is that Gov. Jan Brewer holding that sign?
@Harry Johnson A+ comment
I’m more offended by the fact that the sign is wrong. Scalping means cutting the top of the head/hair off, not the whole head. the coyote should be holding the hair that’s on the ground, and the head (minus the hair) should be on the ground. if you’re gonna make an offensive sign, at least make it correct
@Harry Johnson – Dead on. Also, I may be mistaken but, isn’t this a picture of a beheading, not a scalping?
JoLo…except there is already just a scalp on the ground…the Coyote is about to get the other one
you can’t behead the Blackhawks logo…since it’s well…just a head
Good call using Wile E Coyote to represent your team. The guy flat out knew how to win.
@Harry Johnson- Indians were not the only ones doing the scalping; there are MANY examples of colonials doing it as well. It might help to read a book once in a while you ignorant shit.
GREAT call cargettheblahblah that dude couldn’t catch a cold.
So one team has a coyote and the other american indian repping their hockey team. Both very well know for many centuries of their amazing ice skating skills.
@fatbagpipesmoker: And who is constantly stereotyped as scalping people? Indians, that’s who. Yeah others did it, but people think of Indians when they think of scalping. You sound like you were a sociology or “cultural studies” major. You probably bitch people out for saying “black” instead of “African American.”
@fatbagpiper Ya but show me where there is evidence of coyotes scalping Indians. This lady is way off.
@ harry johnson
there’s no tribe called Indians who were known for scalping, slur or not Indians isn’t PC because they’re called Indians (referring to natives of India) by mistake, so how can “Indians” be known for scalping and blackhawks not? unless there were people with red dots on their foreheads running around scalping people that idk about
I think I learned that in 1st grade btw
@jolo1, did it ever occur to you that Wile E. is about to scalp the Blackhaws logo. To say he beheaded a bodyless logo is mind bottling.
it should be good old fashioned scalping.
Idiots run rampant in Arizona.
@Joetorious:
1. Columbus thought he landed in the East Indies, not India.
2. “Indian” refers (albeit incorrectly) to all tribes of the Americas. There’s still tribalism in the Middle East, but they’re referred to collectively as “Arabs.”
3. Indians are stereotyped as scalping people, and I never said that Blackhawks didn’t do that. Work on your reading comprehension, brah. No one likes a pseudo-intellectual.
Two more reasons why Arizona has to be one of the most fucked-up states in this country
these comments are dumber than the sign and funny as a mother fucker to read.
Ball so hard motherfuckas want to scalp us
She’s a puck slut
By far the funniest debate ever.
@Harry Johnson, nope, I am a History MA. No shit people associate Indians with scalping, just stating that people dont realise that white colonists did it as well.
And I dont give a shit what you call black folk
