Heck, the teams themselves send mixed messages. The Indians' Chief Wahoo is, at best, a poor excuse for a mascot. The Atlanta Braves-who have distanced themselves from controversial closer John Rocker-have been forced to tone down their infamous "Tomahawk Chop" in recent years. There is a difference between hockey's Chicago Blackhawks-whose logo and "Indian" identity are comparably subtle-and the clownish appearance of Chief Wahoo. Of course, how much the difference matters is debatable...
...Kiss cassettes," Martin says, and with glam-rock blasting from the tape deck and Gene Simmons staring from the bedroom wall, the rock star bug bit hard. Martin soon started music lessons. He's still not sure why he picked French horn, hardly an obvious choice for an aspiring rocker "I guess it looked cool," he says.

...truth be told, his album isn't all that. Wyclef, OutKast, Dead Prez and even Dr.Dre made better, richer, edgier albums last year. And why are people giving Eminem credit for simply raising issues? If we gave awards to people simply for displaying the "courage" to be bigoted, John Rocker would be a Nobel laureate and Jimmy the Greek would be a Pulitzer prize winner. On the other hand, the furor about Eminem's lyrics is a bit overblown. The most nominated movie at the Oscars is the ultra-violent "Gladiator." The number one movie at the box office...
