I disagree with this, and believe that it is not offensive at all. People want to agree and disagree, but mascots represent braveness, respect, and everything like so. But changing this can make others mad or sad because of one person that wants to make one change. This would be bad because of this and much more reasons. That's why I think that mascots are okay.

I agree that people have much appreciation for their favorite teams, and that's something else I was going to mention, is why would you change something that one person doesn't like and make millions of other unhappy with it? Nice job on stating good reasons, and I agree to all of this. Also, you made a point about having to ruin your respect for your team and everything, just because a person isn't happy, which means you would have to make up new things, and it would never be the same again for your team.

I believe that mascots are fine and should stay. There are various amounts of people who believe the same things. From a view of other people, they should mind their own mascot. "Life in our schools and communities would go so much more smoothly if we all followed one golden rule: never mess with another man's mascot. -Devin Gordon, who wrote Mind Your Own Mascot". Also, people spend time thinking what they'd want their mascot to be because they want it to be special to them. Going along with this, it is respectful for whatever kind of mascot they have, and it wouldn't be racists because it isn't about disrespect or race. It is a good thing and gives them pride and they feel happy about who they are. In addition, school mascots should stay because instead of making comments, you can write a letter to have them fix it, if it's making you feel that wrong about mascots. Overall, I feel that mascots should stay because it's a part of their school culture.
