PC Mascots
Another example of wasted time and energy on unimportant issues...
This whole thing is ridiculous, especially considering the fact that FSU hired actual Seminole Indians to design their logo and costume their mascot (who is an actual person-- not a caricature).
Certainly, no one wants to offend anyone, but where do you draw the line? Do we get rid of the "Fightin' Irish"? That's certainly based on a stereotype of Irish immigrants. And what about the "Demon Deacons"? I've never understood that one anyway.
Regarding ASU's mascot Yosef, he actually was changed years ago to appear more "PC". His bottle of moonshine was eliminated.
