Tell me, you would fear a giant parrot in a yellow cardigan sweater??
It didn't do my fragile ego any good to sit across from a crowd yelling, POLY WANT A CRACKER???
I would have chosen a more masculine, warrior like
mascot to represent our high school and our sports teams......
I just thought of the Fighting Wussies too late.
;)
And how sexist of you to want a "masculine" mascot! What about the girls' (er, womyn's) teams? ;)
A few years ago some area groups protested against our
Indianapolis Indians Baseball team's (American League) logo.
It was awful. A caricature of an American Indian with a blood
red face , big nose & skinny body, welding a tomahawk. After
some discussion & shared views it was changed to an American
Indian like art symbol like this
http://shop.store.yahoo.com/hotcorneronline/inbas.html
Everybody agrees it's a much better logo & not at all offensive
to any group of people.
Well....catland only had 1 "S"....give me a break! lol
what?Quote:

Just wait until all your address labels have to be changed to Nativeamericanapolis, Nativeamericana.

I can't help it. I'm rofl.
My high school was the "Black Knights" I was so glad I went to one of the small schools outside Findlay, instead of Findlay High School...did not want to be a Trojan!
Thank you, 2Kitties, for being a grown up and showing restraint. Big hug to you!
I don't mind debates, folks, but BE POLITE! No slinging insults back and forth, or questioning anyone's sanity - after all, many non-pet-lovers would think we're ALL crazy.
My high school team was the Fighting Farmers. Now, that was embarrassing.
Edit to add this:
Soledad, you would make your point better and people would take you and your opinion a lot more seriously if you cut the sarcasm, the name calling and the insinuations. Oh, your attitude that you are better than all of us is getting a little old.
My high school mascot are the "Hunters". It's a guy, aiming a gun at something. That's realllllly appropriate for school, eh? :rolleyes:
My school's mascot is the "Sponger"....We were listed on the top ten stupidest highschool mascots on David Letterman.
My high school's mascot was the Spartan and IPFW (college) was the Mastodons because they've found 3 mastodon skeletons on the campus.
Now, if my parents had moved to Wisconsin when I was in high school, I would have attended a school whose population was 150 K-12 and whose nickname was the Fighting Evergreens and the mascot was a pine tree....top that one!!
Sponger? As in an absorbent material used to wash cars and wipe counters???Quote:

" Mr. Sponger" (like Prom King) wears a sponge on his head. EAT THAT.
Edit:
LMAO.... BEAT THAT, too.
Sponger as in the people who dive for sponges.:pQuote:

You mean to tell me that Sponger beats an Evergreen tree??? :p ;)
Actually, I heard a while back that they were considering using him as out mascot.Quote:

As a person with a bit of Native American blood coursing through my veins, I would like to rename all these lame team mascots on your beahlf and change them all to something noble and proud from my heritage. :)
Dare I ask what you'd rename them as? :p
I'l be the first to admit it.:eek:Quote:

I'm crazy..
another BTW..the Cal State Northridge team is named the
"matadors" which literally means 'killers' and the guy that 'dispatches' the bull in a bull fight-in spanish.
Now, is that offensive to all killers or just killers who are Latino?
Monty Montezuma was not an option in San Diego but Being a killer in Los Angeles is?????
let me scratch my head for a moment....
Nope. I'd get scalped if I did! :pQuote:

Wow, that was b a d. :p
Well, you'd have to be careful and considerate of history. Say, for example, the Micmacs (where my bit of Native American heritage comes from) played against the Nipmucs (the tribe that inhabited my hometwon before white folks settled it (the third time) I'm pretty sure the Nipmucs would "slaughter 'em" every time. They wiped out the first two attempts by immigrant white folk to settle my town ...
and, by the way, our high school teams were "Pirates" - but with our orange blazers and black pants, we called ourselves the marching pumpkins!
Hey, I know! Lets rename all teams with the names of diseases or bacteria - far more deadly than Pirates, "Indians" or Vikings, and more successful over the long run!
"Gooooo Small Pox! Yeah!"
LOLQuote:

Hmmmm, sharing a mircroscope with 64,999 other fans would take some getting used to.Quote:

So true Logan. It's called talking out of both sides of one's mouth. Oh and let's not forget, this is the person who taught her dog all of his tricks in the first day she got him. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:Quote:

Whoa guys :eek: I know Kate did not mean for this thread to go in this direction. I'm afraid to even say my opinion on this topic now :o
Anyway, my high school mascot was a Highlander. I thought he was pretty cool, but other schools had fun teasing us about our mascot being a guy in a "skirt" :rolleyes: (kilt).
lol,
being a deist and a recovering catholic.....
this bugged me...
Moi???
offended???

My horror aside-- don't you think Jesus deserves a QuarterBack Number, as opposed to a kicker???
Quarterbacks are real men......Kickers are wussies.
and if that wasn't enough to shake my being to the core...

Come on...........
Hey Jesus, you better change your robe before your mom sees you playing in your school clothes.:o
My favorite is 'layup Jesus'.....
White men can jump.
LMAO. Those are hilarious! :o :D
Oh Richard. :D
Those are HILARIOUS! I like the football one. :p
There was a big debate recently here about renaming a high school mascot...they were the "Red Devils." People thought that was portraying a bad image to the children. :rolleyes: If I remember right, the mascot name has been around since the school was built...they were named after some company (cement maybe?) that donated supplies to build it. I'm not sure if they ended up changing it or not.
I was a Viking in high school...now I'm a Wolverine. I want to be the mascot at the school my mom works at, they're the Huskies! :D
A college here has an Indian mascot, the University of Utah Utes. I haven't heard of any controversy over it, but I did notice that their actual mascot (guy dressed up) is now a hawk.
Jesus' favorite teams are the Cardinals and the Saints...
Just so you know.
He doesn't like the Raiders tho.....:(
Red Devils!!!!
Aren't you posting that a little to close to Football Jesus???:eek:
When I was in junior high, I was a Panther.
My son is in junior high now, and he is a Cougar.
The high schoolers here are Tigers.
I guess we're just a feline kind of town ... rather strange since nary a panther, cougar or tiger has ever inhabited this area. LOL
In college I was a Boilermaker.
Don't know why I'm posting this, it doesn't answer the original question, and no one cares. LOL Must mean it is time to go to bed! :p
I think the worst are the poor souls who attend the University of South Carolina.
Gamecocks.
All innocent enough since it refers to a rooster.
But the school chants Go Cocks during games.
To avoid the risk of being dirty and offensive, I conclude my arguments on this school. :D
