Phoenix, Arizona

Here’s a small sticker with a big political message, presumably relaying a dislike for the way North America’s indigenous peoples are portrayed in professional sports team names and branding. Found this on my recent visit to Phoenix.

This chicken is cheering for everyone, it seems.
Back in the fall, dressed up for former Stampeders QB Henry Burris …
Hard days for Hank
… and today, playing the role of Flames net minder Miikka Kiprusoff.
Kipper's chicken
The ultimate bandwagon jumper. In a good way.

Apparently, we live and breathe men’s hockey. These guys are two of thousands of very happy Calgarians who spilled out onto 17 Ave. S.W. Sunday afternoon after Team Canada defeated Team USA in overtime, winning the game 3-2 and scoring this country’s 14th gold medal of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Woo hoo!

And here’s a happy gal stuck in traffic. She doesn’t seem to mind.

We're No. 1
