Minimal. Only fools take him seriously. The guy is a blowhard with a soapbox. Nothing more.
Stop panicking
Im not panicking, why do you keep pretending like I am?
I’m saying this is an issue that the franchise needs to do a better job with and not just expect it to blow over.
When you have people in your own city spouting off and not even coming close to telling the story of the logo, and not making any differentiation between it and the Indians and Redskins, that’s not good.
The Hawks have a different story to tell, they’re not telling it. Instead, they’re letting people like Bernstein and Telander run away with the narrative. You’re also seeing it in the Sports Net article I shared, the Hawks logo lumped in with the Indians logo without any explanation of a difference.
The train is beginning to move down the tracks is all I’m saying. Danny’s comments today won’t reverse that train. The franchise needs to be more aggressive and open in sharing its story, and that’s not just a page on the website or a few social media posts.
