Some people would like Chief Wahoo to by-by, <br />So politically sensitive are these people they are not looking around themselves, <br />The team is winning and is proud of their mascot. <br />It is not though their playing with a mascot signified by elves. <br /> <br />A few years back the Seminoles, the Florida Mascot, came under attack by NCAA, <br />The Seminole name that is synonymous with the state, <br />But the PCers said that would be able to play, <br />Under their current name, <br />The Seminole Tribe said that they were offended, <br />The tribe encouraged to college to keep the Seminole name, <br />A warrior who has no shame, a proud indigenous Native American, <br />Who quests for victory not defeat, his territory defended. <br /> <br />To bad the Eastern Michigan University Hurons <br />changed their names to the Eagles, <br />I didn’t hear a Huron complain, <br />This is rather insane. <br /> <br />Why don’t edit John Wayne movies that put squaw in the vernacular, <br />I believe that Native Americans would that offensive in particular. <br /> <br />(PS Chief Wahoo had to go home, <br /> The Red Stockings beat the tribe is Boston, <br /> The Japanese pitchers took out the tribe, <br /> Like Zeroes took out ships at the harbor, <br /> 11 to 2 the final score in the 7th game, <br /> Better luck next year, and please don’t change your name. <br /> (amended 10-22-07)) <br /> <br />(10-17-07)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chief-wahoo-no-go/
