And now:[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 08:58:34 EST Subject: Double Standard Hau Kola, Once again the Sports and Media people have created a double standard, with their announcement that by drawing a thumb or hand across the throat indicates a symbol of violence and a stiff fine and automatic yardage penalty will be invoked on the player or team that has made this gesture of cutting the throat. Where the double standard comes into play is it is OK to do the Tomahawk Chop as a group of fans and this form of violence is acceptable? When Native Americans ask that this practice of portraying the Indian Image as one of violence it is ignored but when another group (which will go unnamed) says OH dragging a hand across the throat isn't acceptable they are heard. Please pass this along on your mailing list, maybe someone in the Sports and Media will connect their eyes to their brains and say Yes we are creating a double standard and remove the Chop?
