“White Devils” has a nice ring to it.

Refuse to comply. Continue to call the team the Redskins. What can the PC gestapo do to you?

“...The vote to change the mascot, which has been in place since the 1920s, was unanimous...”

About 90 years of history did not have a single defender?

Oklahoma City High, meet your new mascot, officially sanctioned and guaranteed not to be offensive, except for the intolerant among us...

If a few American Indians get their indignation up over Red Skins and “our guilty, morally superior betters” cave on this, just wait until the muslims get rolling. There is nothing that muslims are not offended by.

Devils?

Well, denial of its existence is one of cuts main goals

But I would not even allow my kids to attend a school whose mascot is a devil much less root for the team

Un believable

No longer The Rebels as in Johnny Reb at Denver's South High School. Its the Gargoyles now. Pretty silly and sad at the same time.

the old Southwest High School in Fort Worth were the Rebels.

mascot was a Confederate cavalry officer.

large black student body — name and mascot have to go, racist.

Now the school is (or was the Cavaliers)and mascot was dressed as a 17th century English cavalry officer.

I never could figure out why they did that. It cost a lot of money essential for a minor semantic change.

Call me naive.

I never realized that people were so angry and suspicious of everyone else. I am starting to become angry and suspicious of them. So much for racial harmony.
