UNDBIZ Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 We've all been wondering when the fight against school mascots would move into the animal realm (well not really but it's been joked about). It has now begun. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/highschool-prep-rally/school-t-cougars-because-middle-aged-women-might-161402778.html Quote: New school can’t be Cougars because middle-aged women might be offended.

The Sicatoka Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Well I'm offended that they spend so much time worrying about who might be offended. What are they going to do resolve that for me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewey Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Well, then they should at least use the exact phraseology of what's offensive: Middle-aged, frustrated, self-absorbed, nacissistic sluts. The one version of the word "cougar" is just a nice reference to that. If they're going to be offended anyway, one may as well use the terms that are much more applicable to the situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDBIZ Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 I think obese women might be offended by the "Bison" moniker ... +1 NDSU better put together a committee to study the effects of its moniker on certain under-represented groups. Very important to stay ahead of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottM Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Clever!! Did you have help with this? I was part of a study group formed by the NC$$ to ensure that no group of thin-skinned, bed-wetting individuals would be excluded from its crusade to cleanse "insensitivity" from the land. So, naturally in the spirit of comradeship and good faith, I decided to help our mentally deficient friends from 'su see the error of their hateful ways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
