Illinois lawmakers have introduced a bill to ban Native American mascots

Sports mascots that invoke Native American imagery and traditions have long been considered offensive by tribal nations. Two Illinois lawmakers want to ban them.

Two representatives in the state House have introduced a bill that would prohibit schools from using Native American logos, mascots or other imagery unless they:

Receive written permission from a tribe within 500 miles of the school, which would have to be renewed every five years

Conduct a schoolwide program on Native American culture at least twice a year

Would this just apply to schools or would the Chicago Blackhawks be subject to this too?

1. Can we ban the damn chant while we're at it?

The worst thing about the last Super Bowl wasn’t even that my 49ers lost, it was that they lost to a team whose fans do that racist tomahawk chant. Every time I hear it I want to turn off my TV.
