has scrapped its nickname, "Crusaders," and the accompanying mascot.

Actually, the term "Crusader" became Odius to Moslems because of the putting to the Sword EVERY man, woman and child in Jerusalem. Even for the Medieval World, it was considered "The WAR CRIME of the AGE".

Saladin, a KURD, spent his entire life in a struggle to right that wrong, profiting nothing from his successful EJECTION of those 'Crusaders' from Jerusalem.
