Gary M Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'm surprised by how much this angered me. This is all part of the dumbing down of America, slang becomes the normal and words have lost their true meaning. :wallbash: All hail political correctness. :worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBud Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) I feel honored that my high school still retains its completely politically incorrect nickname. Edited January 19, 2012 by BuffaloBud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My high school is still the Trojans. I think they KEEP it for the jokes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heels20X6 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Could you imagine trying to propose the name "Gamecocks" today? I'm still surprised that South Carolina is still allowed to call themselves that in this PC age. Heck, they sell hats and T's that say: "Go Cocks!" on them. Oh the humanity!

DC Tom Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 They changed the name to "The Fighting Mexicans" "Cougars" is unacceptable. But "Mexicans" is okay????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) "Cougars" is unacceptable. But "The Fighting Mexicans" is okay????????? They took the Notre Dame logo and just put a sombrero on it. Pretty lazy work if you ask me, but at least it doesn't offend anyone.

rockpile Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Rochester, NY has the East High Orientals, which some feel is racist. At one point in the the past there was a West High too and their mascot was the Occidentals. I guess no one uses oriental and occidental anymore.
