more exciting than the presidential election??

I heard on the news this evening that a local, venerable old high school will be giving up its politically incorrect mascot.  I'm not sure how many years they've been the Redskins but it seems the time has come for a change.  Of course maybe they could just change the picture from a native American warrior to a potato, then they wouldn't need to change the name, but the fighting red skin potatoes is probably not the image they're after.  The students have been given a list of eight possible new names to vote on: Mustangs (car or horse?), Night Hawks, Falcons, Legends, Raptors, Rockets, Thunder and Nations. If I had a vote I would probably choose Falcons.  North Side Falcons has a nice ring to it. Definitely not Nations or Raptors.  But that's just my non-involved opinion.  What I'm wondering now is how soon Woodlan High School, my high school, will be compelled to change it's mascot.  We've been the Warriors at least since 1959 and the symbol - the head of a native American warrior wearing a full feather headdress - is quite similar to North Side's except for the color.  Personally I never thought that referring to someone as a warrior was demeaning or insulting but I guess I'll just have to see how this all plays out.
