Wait till people find out the name Massachusetts was an Indian tribe. Oh the horror

 

[not new guy]

Because these schools selected these mascots... to make fun of them? To take advantage of them somehow?

Ya....they have been after the Tewksbury Redmen for awhile now.

Let's all open our own private schools. My school mascot is going to be a Honky Cracker. But that's most likely fine with these leftist lemmings.

 

[eboos]

Some school better change their mascot to the Woodcocks.

 

[not new guy]

I keep waiting for HC to change from the “Crusaders.”

 

[Dennis in MA]

After years of contentious debate over Native American mascots in school districts, some indigenous activists say it’s time to take the decision out of local hands.

I'm wondering how many of these activists are actually indigenous. I'm betting very few, if any.

Still waiting for the Celtics to pronounce it correctly THEN to remove it as a mascot. I feel oppressed.

 

[VTski4x4]

Alright, new mascot is the "Cotton Pickers". Don't get mad, the .gov forced our hand. *shrug*

They’re already trying to change the state flag.

I think it was 2020 or 2021 when Wakefield had a town wide vote to keep their warriors mascot after their school committee decided to change it. The town residents voted to keep it. Not sure if that was a binding or non-binding question in their ballot. Looks like the state libs got pissed at towns doing this and have decided to override their votes.

 

[Da_lucche]

So are they gonna ban Elizabeth warren then?

 

[Gidge]

Athol High Red Raiders are now "The Bears" -- how gay !

When our local high school was built, they were looking for suggestions for names. My suggestion: the Wiggers.

 

[LuvDog]

One of these schools should change their mascot/name to The Trumps

 

[Blackmore]

Soon they will ban the word "Indian" all together.

So much for having to ask "dot or feather?"

 

[cams]

Isn’t it curious how all these pasty white liberal Nazi faggots want anything of color removed from foods, ads, teams, mascots, schools, etc. but still cry daily about inclusion, equity and diversity.

It’s almost like they’re white supremacists or something.

I grew up in Hanover. Our team was the Indians. It's now the Hanover Hawks.

I lived in Grafton almost twenty years. They were the Indians, too. Now they're the Grafton Gators

political correctness sucks

Why?

“Unfortunately, today, the remaining schools with native mascots are stubbornly attached to controlling our native identities, which they’re using against our permission,” said Rhonda Anderson, a Iñupiaq – Athabascan Native American and western Massachusetts representative on the state Commission on Indian Affairs.

Did anyone ask for permission for the state name.

 

[TLB]

Part me says good. Let's change the names and the state name too. Maybe Massivecommieshithole?

Then, we can just say there were no people here before Columbus. No way were there natives here! Certainly, we would have named some school mascots after them to honor them if there were, amirite?

Lots of state names originate from Indian words or tribes. Example:

Wisconsin​

From the word “Wishkonsing” meaning “place of the beaver.”

Maybe people should start using Wisconsin as a girl's name?

That's some important laws that the mass politicians are working on.

 

[radioman]

Billerica was also the Indians!

Who the hell do you think you are to say the unwashed masses can override our benevolent rulers wishes. You should be reported!

Stop voting for democrats

ULowell Alum here. WTF is a "river hawk"? Thanks for nothing ULowell. Wife bought me a ULowell Chiefs sweatshirt for Christmas last year.

Political correctness is just tyranny with a smile.

[GL2020]

So let’s see
Massachusetts comes from an Algonquin word that means roughly “large hill place”
Need to fix that

What about King Philip? Their school name? Mascot is the warriors. Can’t have that.
Oh and they’re part of the Hockomock league
Hmmmmmmm.

North Attleboro was the Rocketeers…anyone check with the Germans on that?

 

[LakeTrout]

Democrats: Let’s do more things that make zero difference in anyone’s lives to hide the fact that everything else we’ve done has made their lives worse.
