WOW...university administrators ban the band's traditional War Chant at Illinois games!

[Innermind]

This politically correct bullcrap is really getting out of hand.




The War Chant has always been played by the band at Illinois football games in order to fire up the Illini fans and players whenever the opponent's offense is faced with a 3rd down.

Now, it will never be heard again at Illini sporting events....because Illinois school administrators don't want to offend Native Americans. Are you fooking kidding me?

Illini end 'war chant' song at sporting events


WTF is happening to this country?


Again.... no more of this on the opponents 3rd down at Illinois football games:

We lost the Chief many years ago. Let's go, Illinois Flatlanders.

Yes, I have duo fandom. Spent near 40 years in Wisconsin and took a job down here. 25 minutes to Memorial Stadium and I take advantage of it.

Illinois should change their name. I nominate them to be the "Flailing Libtards" which is
A Much more accurate name than Fighting Illini.

Dumb, at least that war chant has some rhythm......the one they should really ban is fsu's(braves) monosyllabic cadence.

 

[outofyourmind]

It's a great chant.
Why would Native Americans be offended by that.

 

[UNA Lion]

Unfortunate.

Thankfully, nothing politically incorrect about Lions ... well, yet anyway - we do keep two live Lion mascots on campus, so expect PETA to pay a visit any day now.

Band should go out on to the field and just stand there

That would be funny

I don't know.... maybe 500 years of racism, stealing land and genocide?.... I bet they would let us keep the chant if we gave them their land back.

That song was a TV Show lead in for kids........

Pow-Wow the Indian Boy
Loved all the animals in the woods.

Every day Pow-Wow was on Captain Kangaroo...great cartoon.

As I posted yesterday all this PC bullshit needs to end. Bunch of fucking bedwetters, that never got their mothers love or their daddy's acceptance. It is only offensive if you let it offend you. Grow the fuck up and quit being such a pussy

I'm pretty sure it's only white liberals giving it any thought at all.

If the Indians object to anything I'd imagine it would be the Sooners. If your solution is another casino could you at least enforce fair blackjack rules?

Did you even read the article?

Nope lol

I think it's time to get a bunch of pron stars to protest the dotting of the eyes at OSU, it's sexist...unless it's cowboy bob and his sidekick kkk

 

[KingKoolKat75]

Nope lol

I would hardly call central rural Illinois liberal and Native Americans have protested Illinois University even when I lived in Champaign back in the 90's.
