  • Rua, did you hear chief say anything to the crowd? He has never been on the sidelines leading cheers. He is not a mascot, but a symbol and a source of honor to many alumnus's of the university of Illinois. However, I could see how you could find this racist, but as a long time chief supporter, I hope you can see it's not just a dude running out in these dresses.

  • One thing is that it is nice to see a positive association with First Nations which is cheered by the crowds. Yet, it is still racist. How would you feel if in China for example, they had a mascot called "The American" where someone was running around with a turkey leg in one hand and a hand gun in the other, wearing an American Military styled uniform shouting profanities to the crowd for a cheer. Wouldn't you consider that offensive and request that they get a new mascot and let the old one go

  • The Chief rocks!!!! Now the natives are going to say that the Indians of Cleveland are racists, likewise. 

  • im native american, if someone dont understand how this is ofensive you can talk with me

  • great video and hail to the Chief.

  • THose professors and officials that brought down the Chief - why did they have to meet in a secret, undisclosed location on the southern tip of campus?

    Peruanista - Are you of the Peoria indians?

  • do you know anything about the issue than what you just saw in the video? If not, don't pretend like you do.

  • Hey Peruanista - If you don't like it, Don't watch

  • LONG LIVE CHEIF ILLINIWEK !!!!

  • R.I.P Chief!!! the best part other than watching the game is now gone. Its a stupid argument
