    My son (a fellow grad) was in my office and we laughed out when we read this. He pointed out that the score remains a record.

    Whitman College No Longer the Missionaries

    Missionary mascot rejected as 'noninclusive,' 'imperialistic,' and 'not very intimidating'.

    "The college's sports teams will now be known as the Blues, the school said Thursday."

    "The other finalists were the Appaloosas, the Blue Ravens and the Sockeyes, which is a kind of fish."


    Maranatha Baptist, no longer Crusaders, are now the 'Sabercats'.

    Well now that we have rid the world of that mascott all is right in the world and everyone can now go about their business. For crying out loud people need to get a life and find something real to worry about.

    Why aren't the Arizona State "Sun Devils" considered offensive? Are those the 'right' kind of devils, or what?
