Offensive Mascots

Coming on the heels of a protest held outside Lambeau Field this past Sunday over the Redskins' continued use of an outdated and offensive term as a team name, I decided to break down some other offensive mascots out there. (Apparently, Peanut thinks poverty, alcoholism and drug abuse, and gang and domestic violence are more pressing concerns for Native Americans...psshaw we're talking real issues here Peanut! Fucking mascots are keeping people down man!)


What is this shit? As a semi-Irish-American I am totally offended by this. It portrays all Irish people as leprechauns, and I can tell you without a doubt that leprechauns make up less than 15% of the Irish community. And why the fuck does he have his dukes up? Oh, i guess Notre Dame wants us to believe that all Irish people are violent, when in fact we are only violent when we're drunk, which is barely half the time. Not even an allusion to alcoholism? Jimmy McSpudeater, or whatever the mascot is called, could at least be holding a half-broken Jameson bottle trying to stab someone. Come on ND get your facts straight. (and the school is Notre Dame, shouldn't they be like the Little French Pussy-ass Bitches, or something more in common with the name of the school)


Is that a queer African-American guy, with some sort of skin disorder on his face? Clearly, the answer is yes. That's just despicable.


Great job Oregon St. Women have come a long way in this country, battling for suffrage rights, reproductive rights, and to eliminate the proverbial glass ceiling. And in one fell swoop Oregon St. undoes all that by portraying female genitalia as a crosseyed furry woodchomper. Misogyny has no place in the world of sports. It's called Title IX dickheads.

C'mon Steelers. America's steelworkers are hardworking honest folk, and you gotta make them out to be gay tank-top wearing types. This is offensive to steel workers and gay people alike, but you know what steel workers, you keep reaching for that rainbow!


You couldn't have just been the Deacons, Wake Forest, could you? No, you had to go and be the Demon Deacons, and make Christian clergy out to be evil. You might as well have kicked Jesus in the gonads. Why didn't you just call the team the Christ Punchers or the Virgin Mary Defilers.

This is "Eutectic" the mascot of the St. Louis College of Pharmacy. I just find it morally questionable to glorify Meth addiction so blatantly.


Are all Alabama residents obese? Yes. But that doesn't mean the Crimson Tide has to make them out to be elephants. And what does Crimson Tide mean? Is it that the movements of all those gelatinous bodies in the stadium remind one of the rolling of ocean waves. I assume so. And besides elephants are very intelligent creatures, with notoriously good memories, and live on average about 70 years (none of which characteristics can be applied to Alabamians). So really, this is just offensive to the elephants.
