| Message | The Hydra represents our peoples resiliance, no matter how many leaders (heads) our enemies get rid of, more will take their place and fight on. Football meanwhile could be used to refer to either the american or everyone else versions, and so is neutral. |

| Message | The hydra isn't even a real animal. A case could be made for the hydra as a national symbol, but not the animal. The OLP has no problem with the national sport of basketball. |

| Message | How is it racially motivated? The Black Jaguar is an idea I got from Mayan and Aztec culture. The jaguar is a connection to the sprit world, a protector of the royal household, and just a royal/warrior symbol. I added black in there because it was more of a camoflage thing...its harder to see a black jaguar in the jungle than a regular jaguar...it its a dominant gene mutation. The Black jaguar was a lot better than the pelican we had before and is a hydra a mythological creature or something you just made up? |
