"Dashing Dan" Returns

Whether the Chief is masked or unmasked, strolling or dashing, I'm certain he's offensive to native Americans.
That apart, seeing some logo identity for the LIRR would be nice once again. It might have been Jim Schultz who came up with "The Route of the Dashing Commuter" slogan and logo, but it caught on and it represented the LIRR's primary function. It would be nice to see the state of New York show the kind of heritage pride seen on the old New Haven.

Native Americans didn't give a hoot about the Washington Redskins name change and, frankly, could probably give a damn about the Weekend Chief. This "perceived" offensive is a Media created LEFT farce, as I see it. Why does this nonsense creep in here??

Because society changes, Steve. There's nothing as certain as change, and you'd better learn to accept it and not hold back the ocean waters, because they will sweep the beach clean. One doesn't have to be "a Liberal", like there was something wrong with progression, to see other views. I, for one, am sick of hearing people call themselves "Conservatives" and and believing you need to be armed to the teeth to stop other people from wanting change.

That's why this is in here.

Well said. I would ask how folks would react if teams adopted other "colorful" racial names. Having grown up in Brooklyn I have a decent list of those colorful names... use your imagination.

In the spirit of change have a Nice Winter Solstice and to all a good night!

Change is good. Thank you, Steve.
