To this, I say…BORED.
Ok, so critics of the decades-old Cleveland Indians symbol have found new ammunition now that the Washington Redskins are being rather publicly flogged and forced to change their wildly racist name. Heck, even President Obama felt the need to lend his opinion here. And you know what? The President is not wrong: the term “redskin” is racist and needs changing,,,maybe to something like the Warriors or even (gasp) the Braves. Their symbol meanwhile hasn’t been talked about, mainly because it looks exactly like a brave or warrior.
So, now that a blatantly offensive racial slur will be leaving the NFL, critics in MLB are taking aim at Chief Wahoo, a symbol that is now only sparingly used by the Indians and MLB, with the large block “C” being opted for most of the time.
While it has been said many times, allow me to reiterate: the Wahoo symbol was created by a cartoonist and meant to be cute and comical. Simply put: there was never any racist intent.
The Redskins, meanwhile, have employed their name with perpetual historical nastiness. There is no way to characterize the term “redskin” in any way other than being offensive and disparaging.
Not only are the arguments comparing Chief Wahoo in relation to the NFL franchise name debate flawed by simplistic logic, it is also a mute point, as the Indians have already defacto changed their symbol (or at very worst, are using two)…and at the end of the day two things are true whether opponents of Wahoo want them to be or not: 1) even if changed, Tribe fans will continue wearing the symbol and it will become a collectible to be worn maybe even more often (a truth Redskin advocates should also acknowledge and be prepared for) and 2) the Indians have no control, as in zero, zip, nada, as to which symbol MLB uses in its broadcasts.
So Chief Wahoo critics, give it a rest. I’m happy you found a hobby, but really. Please pick a new one, because I’M BORED!
A super cool package arrived from our sponsor Drive A Tank yesterday! This cool little tank will be traveling across France and Belgium with us on the route the 67th Armored Regiment took in 1944-1945.

Meet the bird that captured the heart of this Canadian soldier… and maybe some of his things.
The four photographs below show a jackdaw who was found sometime during the Battle of the Somme. It became the mascot of this Canadian Army Service Corp despite the fact that he was a bit of thief and “continually stealing” from them. The pictures below were taken in March, 1917.
Photographs:1,2,3,4 from the Canadian Library and Archives.

Character From: Reality Break Precure
Name:Dolos
Age: 1000 years old (Fairy form, on par to a 10 year old) 25 year old (Human and Curse form)Gender: Male
Theme Color: Black (Main) White (Sub)
Alter Egos:
- Dillon Geist (human form)
- Curse Chaos
Personality:
Dolos is a trickster. The thing he loves most in life is having fun. He hates order because it’s so boring. He doesn’t care about anyone, but himself. He doesn’t care who he uses or hurts. He’s selfish liar who will do anything to benefit him. At times lazy, especially if they are things that don’t interest him. Dolos wants nothing more than to see the world turn upside down. He’s a bad influence to anyone who would listen to him. He’s a fun loving unreliable fairy. Dolos is rude snarky manipulator. He’s a total brat
Bio:
About 500 years ago Dolos got out of the Karma Realm and caused a total mess of things. His older sister Themis created a group of warriors calling themselves Cures that helped defeat him. He was locked away back home in order not to cause anymore damage. However when things lean towards his favor the chains that bound him would get weaker. Until one day, he was able to break free enough to return to the human world. It took all his energy and power to escape.
The next thing he knew he was waking up to a girl holding him. But, not any girl. Dolos could see the desire in her soul, the dark energy that fueled him the last time around. He was given the idea to turn this girl into his own warrior. He took the energy and turned it into her transformation item. While he could have just fed on the energy to grow stronger. He took his sister’s example, with a team he could make far more of this energy to feed on
Attacks:
- Chaotic Energy Release - He is able to manipulate dark energy in a person’s soul turning them into a Disster OR Curse Magical Girl
- Chaotic Energy Eater - Not a attack per say eating the same energy he can use to transform humans he can also make himself stronger
- Chaotic Disguise - He is able to turn into a human once he has gotten enough dark energy for himself
- Chaotic Change - This power is only able to be used in Curse Chaos form, he can do massive changes to the world once he unlocks his Curse form
Relationships
- Themis - He hates her with a burning passion. For locking him up, for never letting him have any fun. She’s Order he’s Chaos. He’s the most boring person in existence. Dolos has also been very hurt by her because he feels like she would rather him not exist
- Charlotte - First victim, very useful “pet / servant ” He likes how she’s rich and carries him around. He definitely doesn’t care for her at all and wouldn’t care if she got hurt or anything like that.
Fact
- Can only access his Human form once he’s broke the legs and neck beads (by getting enough energy
- Can only access his Curse form once all beads are broken
- The first fairy form was before he escaped the first time
