Extractions: In Whose Honor? by Jay Rosenstein The Cleveland Indians. Washington Redskins. Atlanta Braves. What's wrong with American Indian sports mascots? This moving, award-winning film is the first of its kind to address that subject. In Whose Honor? takes a critical look at the long-running practice of "honoring" American Indians as mascots and nicknames in sports. It follows the story of Native American mother Charlene Teters, and her transformation into the leader some are calling the "Rosa Parks of American Indians" as she struggles to protect her cultural symbols and identity. In Whose Honor? looks at the issues of racism, stereotypes, minority representation and the powerful effects of mass-media imagery, and the extent to which one university will go to defend and justify its mascot.

Extractions: The Native American Journalists Association is calling upon the nation's news organizations to stop using sports mascots and nicknames that depict Native Americans. NAJA deems such names and imagery to be racist and offensive to Native Americans. NAJA challenges the news industry to discontinue the use of racist Native mascots, names and imagery by the year 2004. NAJA asks that news organizations adopt a zero tolerance policy like the Minneapolis Star Tribune and The Oregonian. In a speech delivered last year at a conference on racism and sports in Minneapolis, Tim McGuire, Editor of the Minneapolis Star Tribune said his decision to stop using mascots was based on a "humane gesture to my fellow man". "Other very good, decent editors have not seen it that way," McGuire said. "They believe that as long as the team is called the Redskins, we ought to recognize that name no matter how offensive it is. It is as if they don't make hundreds of subjective decisions each week, such as choosing not to use the F word, or not calling people certain names that other people might call them or not printing the names of rape victims. They don't hesitate to make those calls at all and I see little difference between those decisions and the decision not to use offensive nicknames." Last year the Kansas City Star stopped printing the Cleveland Indians' baseball mascot, Chief Wahoo. Mark Zieman, Kansas City Star Vice President and Editor, said the paper's reasoning was fairly simple. "Chief Wahoo is a ridiculous, offensive, racist caricature. We would be ashamed to run it as an editorial cartoon or comic strip, so why should we repeatedly publish it in the sports pages of our newspaper?"

Extractions: This one was taken at Dukes Stadium in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Phanatic, like some other mascots, will occasionally tour with the team or do promotional gigs at other stadiums. Being a lifelong Phillies fan (or "phan," if you will), I couldn't pass up the chance to get a picture with our furry green friend. The Famous Chicken , February 1998. Better known as the San Diego Chicken. Strictly speaking, the Chicken isn't the Padres' mascot anymore; he freelances. I got this shot at a Chesapeake Icebreakers game. He was the first mascot I ever heard SAY anything (it was just "uh, sure" when I asked for a photo, but still). The small red-headed child isn't mine, thank you very much. Sport , June 1998.
