New school can’t be Cougars, may offend

Students at a new Utah high school are facing disappointment after their choice for a new school mascot was rejected for one of the strangest reasons possible: Board members deemed it might be seen as offensive to middle-aged women.


 

That's just funny. Now "cougar" as a school mascot is politically incorrect. Anybody ever thought that maybe the term "cougar" (in reference to awoman) is offensive to people in school with a cougar mascot?
SO, they decided to call the team the Chargers. Well, that might offend people with credit cards.

And the student body voted on the mascot, which I'm assuming was made available by the school board that turned it down after the vote.

Sheesh.

It's Utah. That's the place where the term "Cougar" is offensive, but the idea that evolution is a myth isn't.

And of course, just to show the hypocrisy of it all, the largest school in the state, BYU, are called the cougars!!!! How 'bout joining the 'Cougar Club'??
