"A white guy in homespun, with tricorn hat and shootin' iron is making people nervous." Poor U MASS. First, they find themselves in Massachusetts, kind of a Berkeley, only bigger. Second, they changed their school mascot from REDMEN to MINUTEMEN because, well it seemed safe and sensitive. There aren't many rabble rousing minutemen around. But wait! "Well, the Minuteman is a male. There is the gender issue, and the ethnicity. Some have brought up the appropriateness of firearms." [I'm not making this up]Yup, it appears poor UMASS may have to change mascots again. They're considering "Gray Wolves." Bad choice. Wolves eat meat, so how long before PETA people start running around Amherst all naked and scaring crap out of people? No, I suggest "VEGGIE BURGERS." It just seems right. |
