Well, I suppose they could change the flag to the ever popular crescent and star and call themselves the jihadi beheaders. That shouldn't offend anyone should it? Still pondering the mascot part. Maybe a butchered goat? Probably better a sheep. Ridiculouser and ridiculouser.

Europe is about to learn the true meaning of "welcoming and inclusive."

A fitting replacement nickname would be Susquehanna University Gutless Cowards.

Make the new mascot a couple of cute little kittens. The team name should suggest itself from there.

No, the Jihadis. Jihadi warriors good, Crusader warriors bad.

That’d be all well and good but since “native Americans” are allowed to ‘use’ eagle feathers, I believe that would also be a “racist” name. Breaking news. Absurdity reaches record levels. Film at 11.

LOL! I knew somebody would go there. Pretty quick. But you might get the feminazis up in arms.

Crusaders to a squirrel? A weasel or chicken seems more appropriate.

Susquehanna U drops Crusaders nickname to ensure school is "welcoming and inclusive" Are they really having problems getting the Sons of Mo to register?

Ooops. I said “up in arms.”. That would infer some sort of violence so we’ll just say ‘upset’ and leave it at that.

The feminazis would say it is just an expression (that lets them show off their pit hair).

They could change it to “Dhimwits” because they are merely pawns in the world wide Caliphate as it moves forward.
