Many, many years ago I was flipping channels and saw the Chief perform his dance. I was awe struck. It was a thing of beauty. Culture in a sports stadium. Who'da thunk?
I just learned that the Chief no longer dances and I am saddened by that. In their quest for political correctness soon, those that seek to raise consciousness for the Red Man will simply relegate him to a minor footnote in the White Man's history books. What a shame.
How can you say the chief was an idiotic racist symbol when it used by the university to try and honor and respect the native american culture. Somehow your comment just doesn't make sense. And to all those who support the chief. Yes. We Must Never Give Up. LONG LIVE THE CHIEF
thanks chiefillinois! couldnt have put it better myself! i sure miss seeing the illinois games since i'm not there anymore but i still pull for the fighting illini!
The Chief man be gone for now, but he will always live in the hearts of Illini fans. We must never give up on him and do everything we can to bring him back.
Soonerborn, have you seen a FSU football game? Are you equally offended? How politically correct does a nation have to be? It is an Illini thing. The Chief will always live in our hearts.
my god no wonder you guys can't win about anything you to worried about bring back native americans

Get over the Chief! The Chief was a idiotic racist symbol, not unlike the U of I student body.
