PC Insanity Hits a New Low: Utah School District Nixes Cougar Mascot As Too Offensive To Women…
No, not from The Onion.
DRAPER, Utah (CBS Las Vegas) — One Utah school district believes a cougar mascot would be insensitive to women.
The Canyons School District overrode the students top choice of a cougar mascot for their high school that is to be completed in 2013.
Would-be Corner Canyon High School students chose the Cougars as their mascot — a name principal Mary Bailey said carries an ugly connotation that is disrespectful to women.
In popular culture, the cougar is a sexually aggressive middle-aged woman who attracts younger men.
The school board, which consists of six men and one woman, thought the Charger would be more appropriate, which was on the ballot but failed to appeal to students as the cougar had.
Cougars — the large mountain cats — are popular in Utah. Brigham Young University, considered conservative, uses the cougar for its mascot.

The name “cougar” is only “disrespectful” of women if those with dirty minds obsess about it. The school board must be made up of perverts.
That claim is so disgusting because to me cougars are disgusting! An insult to everything. Even more disgusting then old man young gal. So creepy. Modern people are INSANE!!!!!!!
What I meant to say, lol people are insulting a wonderful animal by calling creepy women cougar.
More anti Palin action by soros.
wonder what their cheerleaders wear, or are they boys?
Poor pussy-cat.
..will be replaced by the Corner Canyon Feminazis.
For now on those creepy older broads who want young flesh should call themselves, wookies. More fitting.
Honey, all I have is a couple of racist cards.. do you have a sexist card?
I guess MiLF Cats are out of the question then too huh ?
The Chief
So they let the students vote, and when they didn’t like the outcome, they changed the rules.
I have a premonition about November…
Cheesy cripes!
Are we beyond help?
This is why we need to bring back tar and feather.
principal Mary Bailey is a BOUFHER.
Big Ole Ugly Fuckin Heifer.
I wonder how many cougars are going to work at that school?
I’m sure that mascot would’ve embarassed everyone whenever it backed up to a fan and rubbed on them. Will PC police nationwide campaign to change the names of teams with the name Cougars and banish their mascots the same way they did any team with an Indian reference in it?
I propose that all school boards and administrators have to take a “sanity” test annually.
It’s official. I think this country is on the final swirl down the crapper.
I find “Chargers” disrespectful to people who have maxed out their credit cards.
When the regime makes us a primitive 3rd world nation, and cougars, grizzlies, and wolves make a big comeback, we’ll see how those women really feel.
So,can we get rid of the name “Democrat”,”Liberal”, and the obstinate,sub-par intelligent Donkey? I find those very offensive!
chargers. … lol
Chargers…word.:-)
New mascot, the Harpy.
Corner Canyon Metrosexuals.
Someone needs to explain to dipshit Bailey that actual felines, called Cougars existed long before any nonsensical play on the word by popular culture. Or does she think that fans will equate the aggression on the field with that of middle aged sexually rapacious women, as opposed to a magnificient, strong, incredibly smart and agile animal.
Where do these people come from? Where ever it may be, let’s plug the hole and spare the world a shit load of stupidity.
My daughter said “What about the beavers? ” I thought that was right on.
@Nanna:
lololol
Could just call the mascot a pussycat.
*shakes head*
The mascot will be replaced by diversity being- a mentally challenged Down syndrome, islamic bisexual transgendered creature that is both male and female, black and white and brown and red and yellow, and wearing a burkha. It will roll out onto the field in a wheelchair with a seeing eye dog, and a sign language interpreter, It will sit silently with head bowed in shame through the national anthem, and pledge of allegiance. Following that it will invite the OWS vermin down on the field, condemn the Zionist entity, and deliver a cheer excoriating normal folk for being members of the hated, and evil 1% of normal Americans.
JWM
Would Elmo or a Telle tubbie be OK? May be that purple Telle Tubbie that is supposedly Gay might work.

Don’t laugh, Beaver College in PA actually changed its name to Arcadia a few years back because of such jokes (and internet censors were blocking it).
That sex obsessed woman, mistress Mary, and the rest of her assistants, are so sex obsessed, they don’t mind being offensive to mountain lions, damn, that’s downright wrong! Mountain lions ought to occupy the high school, and protest the degradation of cougars to mere sex obssessed, sex kittens, harumph!
Disrespectful is as disrespectful does, I always say!
Women who brag about being a an old woman and sexual predator are as disgusting as a male sexual predator of any age. This is the image I want to portray to my grandchildren…riiiight. Same with Betty White and her “jokes” about being, essentially, a 90 year old slut “only kind of tricks we can turn anymore”.
Take back your dignity, Ms White and find a new gang of friends to hang out with rather than the vulgar Dim Libs such as Tina, Alec, and the other so called “hot” aging Dims. You were funnier when you played the innocent and dumb Rose. Come to think of it The Golden Girls were pretty leftist so maybe that’s the real you. Embarrassing.

The Lodi, CA Flames are changing their name beacus “Flamers” got their panties in a wad!!
because
I guess at age 43, this town is not a good place to begin a business. I can not do business in a community that can’t even defend their own mascot’s name. May this nice town rest in peace; which is what it seems to want. It’s not like the mascot is an old whore… Define yourself or lose your identity! Let the silent majority lead. Ask someone who played for this town’s team how they feel. Replace the bitch in the community with someone else.
Maybe if the Cougar mascot wore lipstick and had limp wrists and it would be more suitable.
As a Giant, I am extremely upset that so many college, and high school teams have been so insensitive to my family.
I am especially annoyed with the cities of San Francisco, and New York for their blatant disrespect towards us.
More crazy political correctness run amuck!……. So what else is new?
I suggest they consider using the Greendale Human Being, an asexual, featureless figure in a white body suit, as shown on NBC’s sitcom, “Community”.
I agree. They should change it to something non-offensive like the Corner Canyon High School All Anal MILF Orgy.
How stupid. Slang comes and goes; a few years ago a “cougar” wasn’t anything but a big cat, or a car.
Oh, brother.
Can’t you Americans just collectively tell these PC lunatics to STFU?
Honestly. It’s like the US and Britain are in a one-up war to be the most outrageously PC.
Our high school teams are THE LIONS and our Jr collage and THE EAGLES both pretaory animals and so far no namby,pamby wussietard has ever whined about the name and we have one high school in our county called THE CIUGARS which is just another name for the MOUNTIAN LION

“I find “Chargers” disrespectful to people who have maxed out their credit cards.”
+1
LOL…
Sheri and JWM…Hilarious!
Sounds like the School board is a bunch of pervos who watch “desperate housewives” too much. Maybe they could call the team the Scoamfs. That doesn’t mean anything, does it?
Just don’t call them the Patriots, or half the audience would ” get the vapors”!

Teacake, judging from this remark and others you’ve made in the past, I sense you have a real hate on for women.
Then in Australia we had the Chancellor of the University of the Northern Territory, I forget if they changed his title or just the nemonic a short while after it opened.
And the BALTIMORE OREOLES shows the MALE BIRD and all teams with the name CARDINALS or REDBIRDS show the MALE of the sepcies
Too bad a Cradlerobber isn’t an animal.
@ ImNoDhimmi
I think Teacake IS a woman. Regardless, the comment in no way indicates any masogynistic tendency.
Yet another example of why voting in our local school board elections is desperately important.
Now I’m going to take a closer look at the Minnesota Vikings and their potentially offensive purple helmets.
Charger—–An animal used in a sexual act with a woman in Mexico is not offensive??!
The STANDFORDS are the CARDINALS but their mascots this dorky looking tree
