The End of Racist Team Mascots

Posted by Picasa

The NCAA has banned the use of race-based or racist mascots, which is a shame, because I was a big fan of the Fightin' Whities.

"Everythangs gonna be all white!"

Humor doesn't get any better than that.

I've suggested for years that US teams should learn from the Eastern Europeans and try naming their teams the "Heyducks." Unless they were playing some vile sport, I wouldn't be offended in the least. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiduc

In a related note as an identical twin, I have wondered about the Minnesota Twins.

Are they honoring us or is their mascot intended to be derogatory?

That would depend on how well they are performing on the field.
