  1. If it’s no big deal then why is the Obama administration, namely the US Trademark and Patent Office going after the Washington Redskins?

  2. The ‘New England Anti-Mascot Coalition’? Really? The Cape Cod Times had a similar story today about the Barnstable Red Raiders.

    My own high school was South High in Worcester and our mascot was the Southern Colonel – a sort of Yosemite Sam rip-off shooting six-guns and dressed like Col. Sanders. I wonder what the Anti-Mascot Coalition would have made of that.
