The word and mascot “Gamecocks” is offending and not gender neutral.....it should be changed now

This offends me and it should you too....how about new mascot- “Figting Fairies”
“Pink & Blue Unicorns” ....

I agree. How about “Fighting Chickens” ?


Mar 15, 2021, 10:54 AM

But, is the word “fighting” too bellicose ?

I have offered for years the gender neutral and appropriate term: Lamecocks.---Considering the way their football team is recruiting, it will hopefully be a very appropriate term for years.

Being serious... I actually do think this will be canceled at some point. LOL***

I thought their on-field performance was what was triggering and offending everyone. Man, the meth makes folks paranoid...

I think "coot" would be less offensive.

I believe "Gamecock" was in honor of Confederate General Wade Hampton (nicknamed Gamecock) who was also one of the largest slave owners in the Southeast. He also was instrumental in trying to re-establish white supremacy in a group similar to the KKK after the war.

If anything, the "cancel culture" should be going for a mascot name change just like they are going after Ben Tillman.

Thomas Sumter was the Gamecock. Please keep Wade Hampton out of this!!

If we get Tucker Carlson on this, he is a culture warrior....

Don’t go after the Gamecock mascot! Personally I like

That our rival is a chicken.

Nah, if they changed that, they would have to do away with

that horrible screeching chicken recording that they play about a hundred times a game. They do love them some vocally challenged bird at The Roach.
