I liked a post on another thread "The PC dam is starting to crack". Now it just needs to break.

Is "mascot" the correct word here? I don't think a "team name" is equivalent to a "mascot".
In any event, I wish to make my own contribution to this insanity. The Kansas City Chiefs, should they be inclined to get away from a politically incorrect team name, should rename the team "The Kansas City Faggots" in honor and recogition of a great comedy film.

My understanding from another flag was that it applied to symbols etc. At least they were saying they would have to "cover them up". I don't think that meant a "mascot".

I always thought that the mascots schools used were good things.
For example, I don't think you would have too many schools called the Nerds, the Geeks, the Terrorists.
I went to Texas A&M and we are the Aggies. So is it bad to use Aggies. Is it deragotory to call an agriculatural person an aggie.
I think the American Indians should be proud to have so many schools using them as mascots. It means the schools think they were brave and strong.

I wonder if they will go against the San Diego State AZTECS!

Every school that has such a mascot should pull out of the NCAA!
