    Extractions: Professional athletes usually need to keep themselves in great shape - unless they're one of those fatso relief pitchers or a sumo wrestler - that's what they get paid the big bucks for. The same is true for professional mascots - except they don't get paid as much. Still, their job is a real workout . It's not that easy wearing a 20 pound bird or cat costume when it's boiling hot outside, especially if they're dancing around or getting beat up by a player from the visiting team. Teams have had mascots almost as long as sports have been around. Years and years ago, some teams even used to have real animals , like lions or bears , as their mascots. That ended because too many fans were getting eaten - and it's a lot cheaper to feed a guy in a bear suit than an actual bear. Now, most teams in sports have a mascot of some kind. This list of big, goofy looking characters includes the Famous Chicken who you see at San Diego Padres games

    Extractions: An article excerpt explains the basic problem: Will Another School Year Bring Insult or Honor?: The Usage of Indian Mascots in School-Related Events By Dr. Cornel Pewewardy (Comanche/Kiowa) The portrayal of Indian mascots in sports takes many forms. Teachers should research the matter and discover that Native Americans would never have associated the sacred practices of becoming a warrior with the hoopla of a high school pep rally, half-time entertainment, being a sidekick to cheerleaders, or royalty in homecoming pageants. Most of these types of activities carry racial overtones of playing Indian in school events. Some teams use generic Indian names, such as Indians, Braves, or Chiefs , while others adopt specific tribal names like Seminoles , Cherokees, or Comanches. Indian mascots exhibit either idealized or comical facial features and "native" dress, ranging from body-length feathered (usually turkey) headdresses to more subtle fake buckskin attire or skimpy loincloths. Some teams and supporters display counterfeit Indian paraphernalia, including foam tomahawks, feathers, face paints, and symbolic drums and pipes. They also use mock-Indian behaviors, such as the tomahawk chop, dances, chants, drumbeating, war-whooping, and symbolic scalping. These negative images, symbols, and behaviors play a crucial role in distorting and warping Native American childrens' cultural perceptions of themselves as well as non-Indian childrens' attitudes toward Native Americans. Most of these proverbial stereotypes are manufactured racist images that prevent millions of students from understanding the past and current authentic human experience of Native Americans.

We work with concerned citizens, sports fans, civic groups and communities to increase awareness of the sports industry's relationship to society, influence a broad range of issues in sports at all levels and encourage the cooperative capacities that make the "sports powers-that-be" capable of helping, not just dominating, our society and culture. News Resources We often think of sports as outside the realm of everyday citizen concern. But the many benefits to society that sports can provide are sometimes undermined by a different set of values, often based on the quest for higher and higher profits at the expense of fans, taxpayers, communities, culture and social justice.

     Extractions: Since November 1993 KVSC's Sports Department has adopted the policy of not broadcasting Native American team mascot names in stories and within KVSC play by play coverage. This policy is in place to recognize and respect Native Americans, First Nation's, and Indigenous People's perspectives on team mascot names. The Minnesota Historical Society has traced the name "Sioux" to French fur traders shortening the name "Nadouesioux" which means snake-like enemy. The true name of the tribe called Sioux is Dakota. The word "Dakota" means friend or ally. The Minnesota State Education Board has mandated all high school teams with an Indian nickname change their mascots. The Washington Redskins are being sued in federal court by American Indians. The case is being heard on trademark protection on grounds the Redskins trademark on the moniker violate the law as being "disparaging" and "scandalous". As you read the sports from the Associated Press wire, be cognizant of the following team names. Simply replace the team name with the state or city the team is assigned to. This requires pre-reading state and national sports: -North Dakota Fighting Sioux
