So the mascot for the team they were playing were the Indians right? I remember the cheerleaders who do signs like that for football games with some saying based on the mascot of the other team.. "Hunt the bears", "scalp the Indians". What's wrong with this?

Can you imagine "The Holocaust" or "Wipe Out" part 2 banners by athletic opponents?


No. But what if a school is in a town named Carthage, and an opposing school makes a banner about wiping them out and salting the earth in their town. Is that OK? If so, what makes it OK? The fact that it was a really, really long time ago? The fact that it wasn't something the U.S. did?

I can agree that the banner was in poor taste, but it really doesn't elicit much more than a "meh" reaction from me. I certainly don't think it deserves any sort of official punishment.

We played Catholic High in high school and our cheerleaders banner was
A care bear bending over with a rainbow coming out of its arse.
And in big rainbow letters it said
"Straighten the Gay Bears"

I remember when they picked up the banner we could hear the Crowds shock from behind the banner lol.

This is simply not ok. It's equivalent to referencing slavery since both occurred during the same time period of our history. I'm not an SJW but I do have boundaries and this one crosses them. Many of these people died and they all suffered, it isn't a joke


I'm sorry...but I didn't know that you were there to deal with all the suffering. Just like I didn't know I was there to dole out the suffering.

Lighten up, Francis.

Damn good history teachers at that school.
Unfortunately the administration will now go all thought police to appease pc'ers.


I knew what the ToT was when I was in third grade.

You're an idiot but go on and defend the ToT some more.

One of our closest rivals in high school was the Indians and I'm pretty sure that exact break through poster was used.

There was never really an uproar with that, yhe problem came during basketball season while playing McCreary and the run through said Beat Mc-Queer-y Central with a picture of a Raider in a pink skirt.
