Sabot was a brief-lived underground newspaper published in Seattle, Washington by the Seattle Liberation Front from September 11, 1970 to January 13, 1971. Sixteen weekly issues were published in all. The paper was started as a replacement for the Seattle Helix which had published its last issue in June 1970. As with its predecessor, Sabot was from the beginning torn by political dissension within the radical political collective, centering on an internal struggle with feminists over issues of male chauvinism and editorial control and direction. After a few months the divided staff was no longer able to get an issue out and the newspaper quit publishing.
Contributors during its brief run included local underground cartoonist Shary Flenniken and radical feminist Susan Stern, who later published a candid and revealing memoir of her experiences, With the Weathermen, prior to her death in 1976. Several former Sabot staff members later formed the Weatherman-influenced " George Jackson Brigade" collective in the greater Seattle area which ended in a bank robbery and shoot-out in Tukwila, Washington that killed former staffer Bruce Seidel and resulted in the capture of remaining members of the collective.
A sabot is a clog from France or surrounding countries such as Belgium. Sabots are whole feet clogs.
Sabots were in the 16th to 19th centuries, associated with the lower classes. During this period, the years of the Industrial Revolution, the word sabotage gained currency. Allegedly derived from sabot, sabotage described the actions of disgruntled workers who willfully damaged workplace machinery by throwing their sabots into the works. However, according to some accounts, sabot-clad workers were simply considered less productive than others who had switched to leather shoes, roughly equating the term "sabotage" with "inefficiency".
