The Hawaii Bowl Scrap

We've heard all the indignation and the whining about this past Christmas' football game between Hawaii and Houston, which ended in a big fight! All the letters to the newspapers all said that this fight, as well as Hawaii's mascot (Vili the Warrior) gave Hawaii a bad rep!

I say lighten up!

Fights at sports games happen worldwide! If someone refuses to visit Hawaii over this football fight, they might as well not visit anywhere!

And about Vili, I say we keep him as a mascot! Sure he might go too far, but the positives outweigh the negatives! He gives Hawaii a hardcore rep, which is what any college football team needs! Plus, he reps Polynesian culture to the max! Remember, he reps University of HAWAII, not University of Mainland!

The snobs whine that he makes Hawaii look unsophisticated! ! If those snobs dont like Polynesian culture, they can leave and dont come back! Just reminds me of this one guy who complained about Hawaii street names being in Hawaiian! Eh, this is Hawaii dammit, of course the street names will be in Hawaiian! You want European street names, go move to Europe!

I say we keep Vili and his drummer boys!
