[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1371649, member: 588522"] I know its a heavily unpopular opinion, and if you asked me even a year ago I would've been at the opposite end of the spectrum, but I do think its time we move on. Now we are "retiring" drum beats because they sound too native american? To me, these are moves by individuals that are trying to cut the legs out of all native american traces for the sole reason of stopping any pro chief movements. I think theres a growing group of people who understand the chief will never return, including the imagery and logos, to official status. I dont think we need a mascot or name change, but I do think we need to not lose sight of what all the chief supporters think the chief represented--honoring native americans. If that's truly what he did represent, then we need stop eliminating things just because they have traces of native american culture in them. I personally feel like removing their culture from the university in total is definitely the wrong move. [/QUOTE]
