Grounds Map Mascots A Couple of Sports Mascots... Uga, the Bulldog Mascot at the University of Georgia, Athens, GA , has been around for 50 years. The complete line of dead Ugas are entombed in the walls of Sanford Stadium, near the main gate. There is a small bronze statue, and a memorial plaque for each heroic football mascot. Uga IV lounges in his air conditioned doghouse near the cheerleader's platform; he replaced the aging Uga V at a 1999 game against South Carolina. Beta and Seal the Dogs , Charlottesville, VA The University of Virginia Cemetery is the final resting place for two of its older dog mascots. Next to the beloved mongrel mascot from the '30s, Beta, is buried Seal. Seal was another mixed breed, who once peed on a Penn cheerleader's megaphone during a football game in 1949. They still talk about it. Peruna the Horse , Dallas, TX Peruna was a shetland colt, and the beloved mascot of Southern Methodist University. His eternal resting place is in the shadows of Ownby Stadium, where the SMU Mustangs played their home games in the dark days before the Cotton Bowl. The grave is marked by a marble/cement Mustang with a bowed head, resting on its hind quarters and knees as if asleep. Several other Perunas are rumored to also be buried in the same area.

Segments include: Phil Jackson, the Bulls and the Lakota Sioux Phil Jackson, the former Bulls' and current Lakers' coach, uses teachings of the Lakota Sioux in his coaching. The Lakota concept of teamwork was deeply rooted in their view of the universe a warrior didn't try to stand out from his fellow band members, he strove to act bravely and honorably to help the group in whatever way it could accomplish its mission. The Bulls' team room at the Berto Center was decorated with Native American items, including a wooden arrow with a tobacco pouch tied to it the Lakota Sioux symbol of prayer and a bear claw necklace that conveys power and wisdom on its owner. Jackson had the room decorated, he says, to reinforce in the players' minds that their journey together each season was a sacred quest.

5. Boycott Native American Mascots Editorial against racist sports mascots. http://hoffmanshome.com/native/mascot.html

Before you check out my site, check out this one! The Washington Redskins also come to mind. They have been my favorite team since I was a youngster. But "Redskins"? How is that OK? Was that ever more than a racist term used by whites that wanted Natives sent to reservations? Did natives ever think of themselves a Red? Not likely. The team name must be changed, just as sure as any other ignorant racist slang. Why is it that the average person I ask does not see "Redskins" as racist? Maybe because we've gotten used to it after hearing it so much. But do you really think that Native Americans have gotten used to it? Most likely, you have never even given it a thought. Unfortunately, Native Americans lack the resources of other minority groups to combat this ignorance. The reason they do is also completely misunderstood. But that is a topic that is even more difficult to tackle. Especially when people aren't even open minded enough to consider the mascot issue. The most complete site on the topic!

Home Contents Photos Reviews ... FAQ Team Names and Mascots We simply chose an Indian as the emblem. We could have just as easily chosen any uncivilized animal. Eighth-grade student writing about his school's mascot, 1997 The problem An article excerpt explains the basic problem: Will Another School Year Bring Insult or Honor?: The Usage of Indian Mascots in School-Related Events By Dr. Cornel Pewewardy (Comanche/Kiowa) The portrayal of Indian mascots in sports takes many forms. Teachers should research the matter and discover that Native Americans would never have associated the sacred practices of becoming a warrior with the hoopla of a high school pep rally, half-time entertainment, being a sidekick to cheerleaders, or royalty in homecoming pageants. Most of these types of activities carry racial overtones of playing Indian in school events. Some teams use generic Indian names, such as Indians, Braves, or Chiefs , while others adopt specific tribal names like Seminoles, Cherokees, or Comanches. Indian mascots exhibit either idealized or comical facial features and "native" dress, ranging from body-length feathered (usually turkey) headdresses to more subtle fake buckskin attire or skimpy loincloths. Some teams and supporters display counterfeit Indian paraphernalia, including foam tomahawks, feathers, face paints, and symbolic drums and pipes. They also use mock-Indian behaviors, such as the tomahawk chop, dances, chants, drumbeating, war-whooping, and symbolic scalping. These negative images, symbols, and behaviors play a crucial role in distorting and warping Native American childrens' cultural perceptions of themselves as well as non-Indian childrens' attitudes toward Native Americans. Most of these proverbial stereotypes are manufactured racist images that prevent millions of students from understanding the past and current authentic human experience of Native Americans.

By Jim Sanders Bee Capitol Bureau Upset that a nearby high school would not change its "Fightin' Reds" mascot, an intramural basketball team at the University of Northern Colorado sarcastically named itself "Fightin' Whities" this month and adopted the slogan, "Every thang's gonna be all white." At San Diego State University, the spear-throwing, bare-chested Monty Montezuma mascot was replaced in January by a dignified "ambassador" who will sit regally at Aztec football games rather than carry a flaming spear along the sidelines to excite a cheering frenzy. Decades after the Stanford Indians changed their name to "Cardinal," five years after Galt High School replaced a controversial "Willie the Warrior" logo and three years after Crayola changed its "Indian red" crayon to chestnut, many American Indian activists say much remains to be done to correct what they consider ridicule in names and public depictions.

10. Indian Sports Mascot Boycott Page advanced past the days of blatant racism, do we still have sports mascots, such as the Cleveland Indian's "Chief Wahoo"? http://www.hoffmanshome.com/native/mascot.html

11. Sports Mascots | Professional Sport Team Mascot | NBA | NFL | College Football | Professional sports mascots Professional athletes usually need to keep themselvesin great shape unless you're one of those fatso pitchers or a sumo wrestler http://www.kidzworld.com/site/p578.htm

The Pros Xtreme Sports Sports Extra Off The Wall ... Gear Up The Famous Chicken Professional Sports Mascots Professional athletes usually need to keep themselves in great shape - unless you're one of those fatso pitchers or a sumo wrestler - that's what they get paid the big bucks for. The same is true for professional mascots - except they don't get paid as much. Still, their job is a real workout. It's not that easy wearing a 20 pound bird or cat costume when it's boiling hot outside, especially if you're dancing around or getting beat up by a player from the visiting team. Teams have had mascots almost as long as sports have been around. Years and years ago, some teams even used to have real animals, like lions or bears, as their mascots. That ended because too many fans were getting eaten - and it's a lot cheaper to feed a guy in a bear suit than an actual bear. Now, most teams in sports have a mascot of some kind. This list of big, goofy looking characters includes the Famous Chicken who you see at San Diego Padres games, the Gorilla from the Phoenix Suns and Hugo the Hornet. So you wanna be a sports mascot? Well, to be the guy who dresses up as Big Red of the Cardinals or Stormy the Ice Hog you have to be fit, athletic and entertaining. Many sports mascots have had previous training as gymnasts or acrobats. That's how the Phoenix Gorilla and Hugo the Hornet pull off those slam dunks you see during the half-time show. So, if you think you have the moves and the mouth to entertain the crowds, why not think about a career as a mascot.

http://www.aics.org/mascot/article1.html Sports Mascots Dishonor Native Americans "The pressure to stop the use of sports mascots that demean Native Americans continues to grow. The National Coalition on Racism in Sports and the Media is gathering at Urbana, Ill., this weekend to campaign for the elimination of Indian mascots and other stereotypes of Native American people. Urbana is home to the main campus of the University of Illinois, which has one of the most egregious sports mascots, Chief Illiniwek. Illiniwek doesn't hold a monopoly on Native American mascots, though. For example, there's Chief Wahoo of the Cleveland Indians, who runs about drunkenly at baseball games. Other offensive images include the Washington Redskins' logo and the ''tomahawk chop'' of the Atlanta Braves. Illiniwek claims to honor the Illini People of the Algonquin confederacy. However, the University of Illinois Web site states that the clothing worn by the mascot is actually Oglala Lakota Sioux traditional garb, made in 1930 by an''older Sioux woman ... and two younger women'' on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Lakota elders reserve the ''war bonnet'' worn by the mascot for only the most honored and spiritual of Sioux leaders and consider it inappropriate for sports events.

The mascot I'm most familiar with is the Phillie Phanatic, and he just loves to repeatedly provoke the opposing team and get people all riled up. That's part of his act, but I've seen it backfire on him once or twice; he's been on the receiving end of punching, kicking, and general ass-kicking by people that he's worked up into a frenzy. He makes good money , though, and a ton more from endorsements, from what I understand.
