OK....here we go again, Louisiana Military Heraldry 101:

the Bengal Tiger in Louisiana Military Heraldry goes back to 1838 with the establishment of the Washington Artillery of New Orleans...

on top of that, they are insulting the Flying Tigers who defended people of another race (Chinese) and the memories of soldiers killed at Anzio and in Iraq and Afghanistan...

The Washington Artillery served in the following engagements.

Engagements Mexican–American War
US Civil War{CSA}
Spanish–American War
Mexican Expedition
World War II
Operation Iraqi Freedom

Looks like the federal government doesn't have any issues with them.

Does their logo look familiar?

Well, first off, they did not research what they are petitioning because they are completely wrong in their facts. Our mascot predates the Civil War

LSU's mascot came from the 141st Field Artillery Regiment, Washington Artillery. Yes they served with the CSA when Louisiana seceded from the Union. More importantly this unit was part of the US Army long before and long after the civil war.

I wish these people woul at least get the facts straight.

They aren't interested in facts. All they want is bragging rights. Oh look I cried loud enough and got LSU to change their mascot.

This may not go as they'd like- but don't think for a minute people like this are going away. It only took a handful of them to get their way in New Orleans- and now they want more.

Your name reminds me of the animal "lion".

Company C of the Alabama 49th regiment was nicknamed "Jackson Lions"

Therefore your username is racist. I demand Chicken ban your IP, even if you change your name.

It's actually named after Snoop Lion, so you're assumption that I'm racist has triggered me and I demand you be banned instead.

Let them lash out, just like they did about the Redskins. Native Americans stood up in one voice and declared they don't give a shite. Hell...Seminole Indians applauded and embraced their people represented by Florida State. This will die and be forgotten soon enough.
