Palin was the team captain of her high school basketball team that won the State Championship. Their team mascot then and still.....WASILLA WARRIOR!
Wow...that's close to the line regarding "no politics" - but you did mention Warriors, so I'll leave it. I'll even keep it on the Al.
Though if it strays into a political discussion, it'll disappear faster than you can say [insert irrelevant former presidential candidate here].
Not meant to be political I just think it's great someone in America still has the guts to keep the nickname WARRIORS!!

Golden State nee Philadelphia has had it for a LOOOOOOOONG time.
Heck, Warriors isn't that bad when you compare it to the Redskins. C'mon.
Well, they were going to change the nickname to a color, but somehow the Wasilla White just didn't go over. ;D
Our son's Whitewater team played Wisconsin Lutheran College last week.
Their nickname. Warriors of course.
Maybe "western schools", as in west of 27th St, don't have the same Native American issues

Did/do they have a Native American mascot? Also, I doubt they have postseason aspirations. I think Warriors is way cooler than Golden Eagles, but I also think playing in the tournament every year is way cooler than rooting for the Wisconsin Lutheran Warriors as they watch the tournament on tv every year.
I was paging through ESPN the mag while getting my oil changed...there's a photo of someone's arm (using that term loosely) with a Marquette Warriors tattoo.....

Speaking of the whole Warrior issue, did anyone see the past ESPN the Magazine photo spread of fan tattoos? There is, I am sure much to the chagrin of the administration, a picture with a Willie Wampum tattoo. The tattoo looks really well done too, btw. I tried to find the picture somewhere online, but I was unable to do so. ESPN the Mag is pretty much garbage, but I get it free as an "insider" or whatever.
I guess this isn't politics, so I will keep my mouth shut on the issue... however
how the hell does this stay in "Hangin at the Al"?? and crap about our former players gets booted?
Come on admins, gimme a break ;D

Oh boy.
This thread's going to be locked.
Great video though! :)
That's not politics. That's humor.

She was also a journalism major, and there are still some of us who didn't want to give up the College of Journalism to become part of the School of Communications :-)

This can easily get out of hand...
Wow....if that's the " funniest video"......
" GET A LIFE " !!!!
Ah, I see. So, Saturday Night Live .. when they do all those parodies of the Clintons .. Obama .. Bush, Cheney, ad infinitum .. that's really politics and not humor? "Really."
This is not humor but it is well worth the watch! This man is definately a WARRIOR!

Clearly, that's an example of political speech.
Ah, fantastic. I can see where this is going.
I posted my example of political humor, which trends one way, Chicos posted his that trends the opposite.
We have balance, and a lock.
