HONORABLE MENTION: BOSTON RED SOX

Honor Indians Institute would like to honor the Boston Red Sox for defeating the Cleveland Indians, 4 games to 3 in the American League Championship Series. As a general rule, I could care less who wins the World Series. The only exception is that it NOT be either the Cleveland Indians or the Atlanta Braves! Their tomahawk chopping, face painting, fake feather wearing, drum beating, Chief Wahoo loving fans don’t deserve the glory of a professional championship. It would only encourage their racist mascot loving addiction.

This year I was rooting for the New York Yankees only because of their pitcher, Joba Chamberlain. He is a tribal member and he is from Nebraska. My next favorite team this year is the Boston Red Sox, and only because of Jacoby Elsberry, another tribal member who plays for them. Both have been an inspiration to tribal members throughout the country. We honor their teams, especially the Boston Red Sox, for Jacoby Elsberry and beating the Cleveland Indians!

Since the Cleveland Indians have some available time, now maybe they can meet with the Penobscot tribal leaders about their racist mascot, Chief Wahoo.
