    oh, excuse me. did i just say member? hope i didn't offend...

    That is insane! The school council should be locked in a pin with a real courage, that should give them some perspective.

    Wow. They thought it would be inappropriate to have a large type of cat as a mascot? Or were they actually going to have an "older woman" that chased the young men around as their mascot? :laugh:

    Could have a pagent for players moms every year to determine the new "cougar".......

    I abhor the very term "politically correct." Says who?!?! Maybe "Socially Preferred" or something, but "correct" is B.S.

    I actually have a problem with the word "cougar" it screams predatory and very stereo typical of older women. I have never seen younger men as prey personally. I really don't get it. Perhaps I am just a bit naive because all the 40 something women I know are all married. But the school board/administrators are a bunch of idiots, we have a local school with the team names as cougars and the thought of an older woman after young men NEVER crossed my mind. That's just yet another example of politically correct gone bad.

    How about...MILF? LOL

    <font face="sarcasm">I heard the cougars (the cats) are protesting because they are unfairly represented by old women.</font>

    although if you did see young men as prey, they would be helpless against your charms! you look fabulous! :flowerforyou:

    When I was doing my air warfare qualification for the Navy I was told that technically we could no longer refer to it as the 'cockpit'. (Forget what they want you to call that area of the plane now, though).

    I vote for this idea. No shortage of cougar moms.

    here is a perfect link for "great" mascot names.

    I like the "Rhode Island School of Design Nads" the best.
