Cougar Mascot Rejected By School - Offensive To Women?

[rickCoffee]

I'm a guy who went to the College of Charleston, and my sister went to USC.

That makes me a cougar, and my sister a cock.

[Zaxomio]

Why cant you mention anything with anyones background without it being racism its fucking annoying

[NOVAGIRL666]

this country is inhabits with pieces of pussified shits...

[mcnesta80]

A mate of mine got called a DILF by a friend of his daughter....he told everyone who'd listen multiple times.

[mtstwin1]

Imagine that. Women bitching about something stupid .. shocker

[NaziGOPBallmer]

WTF?! Cougars is a derogatory term for old women stalking on young guys? That's news to me.

[9992103]

My High School mascot was the Cougar. Still is.

[MyTemporaryAccount88]

The problem with the BS-outrages is it takes away from truly offensive shizz.

I say from now on, they gotta name those offended, & then we can blacklist those offended & ignore them for all eternity.

Maybe that way, we'd stop talking about attentionwhores, & start talking about people who actually got it rough.

[chamblizi]

i dont like that guy wheres cenk!

[whydizz]

Utah school??? BYU's mascot is cougars

[eqsmooth]

The cougars I know are proud and happy to be cougars and to be referred to as cougars. Hot chicks in their 40's who fuck 20 somethings are absolutely thrilled to attract young dudes and then when they crash and burn they turn into Demi Moore. That is one scary looking bitch.

[OddMike]

Jayar is a dilf.

[cerulee]

It's not like they wanted the picture on their school banner to be of a 40 something year old woman wearing her daughter's clothes. They wanted the cougar, you know, the CAT? the WILD ANIMAL? I'd like to see an actual cougar being offended by this. But, as we all know, animals are animals and people are stupid.

[SaudiPseudonym]

DILF!

[MTWEmperor]

They just didn't want the Cougar as their mascot that's the real reason. :D

[Ioganstone]

politically correct gone mad

[JagjeetMann]

cougar cunts mmmmmmmm...

[BrazilskiFarmer]

Beavers mascot is way more offensive

[Nemesis000000]

Chargers is offensive because it evokes bullfighting which is unethical

[Smileygirl2782]

wow. my school mascot is a cougar. my school must be perverted. -_-

[iplaydrumsnguitar]

Just like the BYU Cougars?

[pitbullowner4]

people need to get a hobby! I mean are they kidding??? Thats like saying You can't use the sloth, because its offensive to lazy people! well okay glossing over the fact that the sloth would be a crappy mascott but you get my meaning!

[edwardtildeath]

what about the show cougar town?

[weedipikia]

These days we have GILFs. Now that's progress. I can't wait til we have GGILFs and then GGGILFs. The singularity is near!

[DroppinTheBeats]

its funny because my childhood hockey team was the Cougars XD

[suziecreamchease]

millitant islamic liberation front..

you know that

[goat3378]

@suziecreamchease WTF are you talking about?

[suziecreamchease]

@goat3378

M. I. L. F.

sorry as soon as i post, i realised i should have used capitals.

[murderinkable]

i'm offensive and i find this older women

[OcularPolitics]

LOL Ben... your brother didn't come up with that line.

[doublecrosserfm]

wtf is a dilf?

[andywattbulb]

@doublecrosserfm

dad I like to fuck

[karablak1]

Censorship is offensive.

[UrbanZ0mbie]

I thought women who were called cougars liked being called cougars. I thought it meant like old sexy MILFs who seduced young guys.

[jwdesign336]

Interesting. Liberals don't mind offending Christians every time they get the chance. 

[lonewolf202]

@jwdesign336 it goes all ways all the time and can you really say that because you implying that all liberals are like that?

[jwdesign336]

every school I went too had its mascot changed. In elementary It was "the rebels - a cival war veteran holds a rebel flag" - in middle school it was the Seminoles - apparently offensive to native American's ? and In High school It was "The Cougars"

[londean]

The football team should show up at the next game in "Milf" uniforms. Fuck the administration.

[cherucheruchan1992]

When I was a middle schooler we had a similar vote to pick a mascot, It was between Wolf or Phoenix. Wolf won, but the principal ignored the out come and chose Phoenix.

Adults in education rarely show any respect to students.

I hated our mascot :/

[Dantinus]

Change it to Jaguar then. 

[timoback3000]

This is just the beginning 2012 prepare for the ride

[XxModernDayRaiderxX]

i am a baterie and i find chargers offensive

[XxModernDayRaiderxX]

im not suprised at any ridiculous news i hear from america anymore america is just one big joke

[breakdanceexpress]

BYU Cougers anyone? Herp a derp.

[griffin456456456]

lol my school mascot is a cougar

[MrCrazyCanuk]

I'm willing to bet that you're wrong about no women being offended Ben. There was probably a single older woman who was offended, and of course the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Who cares if the majority vote was for the Cougars, one complaint overrides democracy in cases like this.

[creatureshop]

Oh. Fucking. Brother.

The students should turn around and propose "Milf" for their mascot.

[Numbuh7]

"Jayar's a DILF!" - Ben Mankiewicz

[fauxman]

cougars are older women attracted to younger guys... aren't all women attracted to younger guys? I'm pretty sure every woman is a cougar...

[aznboi1027]

Let's censor life, life is offensive.

[interstellarwonder]

@aznboi1027 your offensive

[aznboi1027]

@interstellarwonder So is your face. =)

[TheLivirus]

@aznboi1027 Yeah, how are the dead gon' feel? I mean they're defenceless, don't even get a chance to respond. It's like spitting on their tombs for christ sake.

Don't get me wrong here, it's OK to be alive... just not in public.

[darkmantlestudios]

Cougar is also an animal, fuck sakes

[ProLikeJesus3]

what about the cock mascot, nobody cares if that is offensive to men

[piskooooo]

LOLWUT

[GoneApostate]

define irony: another Utah cougar team? BYU.

[ichibakudan]

The word cougar to describe the animal existed LONG before the slang definition existed. Who do these shriveled up, leopard print wearing, menthol cigarette smoking, saggy tit bitches think they are? IN A-FUCKING-DITION, aren't cougars (i'm talking about the slang version) supposed to be proud to be cougars? The fuck is wrong with people man? shit.

[Thebeatles6270]

you know whats ironic? my school is the Chattahoochee Cougars. No one has EVER complained about us. EVER. fuck them

[KingArthur13th]

I think the Cougar already feels offended to be associated with a middle-aged women in heat.

[L4tenius]

@KingArthur13th Hahahahh. Precisely.

[BottleConcreteBlond]

I find the reasoning hard to believe--first because the BYU cougars are so close by and also because Mormons don't care about political correctness. I think the school board didn't want the mascot to be the Cougars so they made up a stupid reason.

[chatham2006]

chatham university, pittsburgh...all women undergrad school...mascot= cougars

[pooyan6969]

I love me a COUGAR

[diannafreespirit]

What a load of crap! People are really just idiots!

[killerwalkacke]

I want to offend, but no one is offended anymore :(

[niriop]

Male feminist here: this is bullshit! There must be more to this than meets the eye...

[Raditz86]

My highschool mascot was a Black Panther. It's totally offesive to black people hur hur.

[Excelion333]

Nothing wrong with cougars, animal or human female, people just way to p.c these days.

[WildBuck007]

Define irony. They say it is offensive and thus ban it. Yet it is a normal word with a normal meaning. But THEY change the meaning to the slang of a female sexual prowler. Go figure.

[amad0c]

cmon this was hilarious "did they have a different masscott? what were they called before? the MILFs?" :D

[orchoose]

Ben is like me he focus on random issues ni story that other ppl didn even noticed:D

[JTrizzleFizzle]

Solution: Pumas, Mountain Lions, etc. Freaking find another big cat to name your team after, if the older women who like young dicks are too offended.

[TheWhiteOp]

i give up on the world......

[BarackMcBush]

Ah ,Finally something has come back and "bit the liberals P.C'ers in the Ass" ,You all created this and now we all suffer! ..If I was the principal I'd call the team "The Fighting Bastards!" #HA!

[starshooter10]

NOW we are too PC?

I think your 5-10 years behind!

also bring back Cenk!

[47f0]

They went with chargers? I'm pretty sure that's offensive to women with credit cards.

[Red91Blood]

wheres Cenk, without him its shit!

[nutsbutdum]

There goes the Flaming Beaver mascot,...(Yep, you heard it! A joke about a vagina ON FIRAAA!)

[BarackMcBush]

@nutsbutdum The Flaming Beavers? Their nemesis would be The Gamecocks ( A Real South Carolina team BTW) ,who pound on them for a full 60 minutes! #HA!

[phoboskitty]

most older women who go after younger men have no problem being called a cougar i would think... so what if they were called tigers? would they ban the use of the term tiger? what about house cats?

[00maharum00ma]

Actually there's a High School in Pennsylvania whose ultimate frisbee team is called the MILFs.

[TheMidwestAtheist]

@TheYoungTurks FYI, the University of North Dakota had to get rid of "The Fighting Sioux" for political correctness. ...Not that the Lakota had any issue with it (and I think some tribes fought to keep the name).

[MizAlexandria]

Thats like not calling dogs "dogs" because some men find it offensive... ridiculous.

[endergt]

My high school was the Cougars... don't see them changing it any time soon. Stupid school board.

[BrucePBigelow]

How is cougar offensive? Everyone loves cougars. I love cougars.

[HammerSC2]

"You don't have a right not to be offended" Nice grammar bro!

[NewYorkCityUSA7]

I have to admit that the Redskins still offends me. I really have no idea why they don't change that old timey racist name.

[Thejadjadjad]

BEN go fuck yourself you son of a cougar you piss me off

[OtakuRebel]

Time to make a shit load of new slang terms so no one can use ANY animal for a mascot...

[MrNatepwnage]

Videos like these feed, conservative pundants.

[Mattteus]

Chargers? That's offensive to people with credit cards!!

[bseeker69]

Y'all gotta remember, this is Utah they are talking about.

[GnosticAtheist]

"Pedophile women who likes little boys" is not taken.

[kingkrawler]

WA has the Cougars already! Get your own mascot!!! lol

[TalesFromTheCrypt80]

oregon has the 'beavers', ha! just saying...

[Animeplayer]

Really? The argument is so flimsy and shows how the world has gone PC a bit too much.

[Diatonic5th]

I'm sure cougars aren't thrilled about their association with middle aged humans either... poor cats!

[djwaglmuffin]

Puma. Problem solved.

[crackerkiller89]

We have nearly hit bottom on the slippery slope that is feminism. Please, make it go faster so we can get rid of feminism altogether.

[CommandoDude]

I root for the Fight'n whites team.

[TruthatCearcie]

My high school mascot is a Cougar, lol!

[Canada9990]

our school mascot was a really shitty looking bear, so we called him Willy the Welfare Bear

:D

[edtronic]

Banana hour 

[entertheblackmaria]

Um...Brigham Young University's mascot is the cougar. Being "PC" is the last thing in mind in Utah.

[jackvincent90]

Giant douche vs Turd sandwich

[illmaticAK47]

@jackvincent90

We've been given the right to choose between a douuuche and a tuuurd! LOL

[jesushatesyoutoo]

BYU a Mormon university in Provo Utah, less than 40 miles away from Draper, their mascot is the Cougar. This is just stupid.

[chrlpolk]

What does this say about the women in that town?

8-D

I know where I'm going on my next vacay!

[ILockItDown]

my highschool, the top public school in ontario was the cougars yeeeeeeeeee

[SnagTalk]

Welcome to Utah. Sorry your here.

[SIC66SIC66]

I suggest we start using Romey for cock-rings and Newt for Vaginal secretion, maybe they will ban them too?

[IBelieveInDreamin]

Ben is a dilf!! LOL

[harr77]

No they can't be this pc is so blame the insanity of Mormonism.

[imacanoli897]

So filfy.

[pantheon777]

I think they just didn't want to be made a joke of, and lied to cover up their embarrassment of even caring. Well, I guess they succeeded...

[BushidoBrownSama]

Is cougar even offensive for women who are into younger dudes?

[ridewave444]

One of the strangest stories yet. Are there some really insecure, dried up, female middle aged, sexless, losers on this school board? This proves once again how many damn IDIOTS we have on some of these school boards. Freakin Weird.

[spaik007]

dude.. dumb.. just dumb, like does anyone need to explain why it is stupid?

[lloyd614]

1st Amendment is slow disappearing...

[MONGOLMARIGUANO]

wheres senck???

[XxSweetDelicious]

@MONGOLMARIGUANO *Cenk, not senck. He's probably busy with his show on Current, so he'll need someone to fill in for him every now and then.

[MONGOLMARIGUANO]

@XxSweetDelicious thks

[MaJoRMJR]

Steve Hughes (Australian comedian) sums it up perfectly, you have a right to be offended but "nothing happens, be offend, deal with it" look it up it's on YouTube

[Clanki]

Ben.... you should get the Oscar's for pointing out that irony "red skin" is fine while "cougar" is not.

Racism okay, sexism not.

[ChristopherJManess]

Cougars are still animals, like pussies are cats! It's still politically correct to use these words in their original meanings! Until Webster or some official English professor makes a law banning the use of such words, hahaha! This is poppycock! And for those who don't know, that is an offensive word, but not like you think! Get educated about the language, people!

[YawnGod]

God Fucking Bless America.

[Sheeeeeenful]

i'm into cougars... in fact when i was a kid, i wanted to be an archaeologist...

[aaronpolitical]

Wait slow down. Jayar has a kid/kids?

[R0bG1]

I love cougars, they are usually smart, classy and sexy!

[patrickrossi75]

How about Beaver? Good mascot?

[Cyanidesin]

DILF? This is not a new term. I;ve seen many a DILF that I have eyed with fascination and...

[AsifIcarebear3]

I thought a cougar (woman) had been rejected as the person who's inside the mascot.

[Szekler11]

cougar relationships never work out in the long run...

[MadameMao1]

@Szekler11 Demi Moore knows

[Lukege15]

Insulting Native Americans = Fair enough.

Naming a team after a mountain-dwelling, carnivore (which, in some circles, is a colloquial term for complimenting women) = OUTRAGE!

[mangaas]

... and then chargers everywhere get offended.

[ZiggiAbschus]

MILF - Moro Islamic Liberation Front

[xxxxxrandom]

I thought cougar was an apreciative term.

[MissKatetastic]

Why Chargers? Why not keep the cougar costume but call it something else like a wild cat or something? Who really gives a shit, but wait, isn't their beloved Brigham Young University called the Cougars? I guess it doesn't count when you're talking about college. Weird, double standards I guess?

[RegioLunar]

Uhhh da hooty felines!

I´m wondering why "oportunity for everyone" isn´t offensive for those without informal networks...

[Eraserheaddf]

Chargers is offensive to credit card users.

[AntiHamster500]

Can't go wrong with "beaver".

[RichAnderson114]

As someone of Scandinavian decent I personally am offended by the Vikings mascot. It paints a very inaccurate picture of vikings as only being marauders, and not also the explorers, settlers and tradesmen that they also were... That's without even going into how they didn't actually wear horns on their helmet.... I actually couldn't care less. I'm just wondering how many people think it sounds legit when a minority complains about something this stupid but silly when a white guy does.

[RagingDelibird]

they should have picked a team name with no other meaning that could offened, like Santorum...

[LilacStar82]

Looks like they need to get rid the the bear mascot, before they start to offend morbidly obese homosexual men.

[aaronpolitical]

@LilacStar82 My college mascot is a beaver...

[DickCheneyXX]

@LilacStar82 Pedobear would like to take offence to what you just typed...

[TheRepublicOfUngeria]

Holy shit, these schools are fucking original!

[TheRepublicOfUngeria]

People!!! It's time to chose between a douche and a turd!

[lfranklin27]

@TheRepublicOfUngeria south park... nice!

[looneytoon76]

I'd loved to see what the cougar mascot would look like

[iLikeCookingWithAri]

What is wrong with the US

[ErlofCambridge]

So what about the Beavers!

[HWGuyEG]

The kids got a lesson in democracy, you can only vote for things approved of by a small group.

[arborinfelix]

The new mascot sounds like an USB device to me...

[TheBellTollsForMe]

Haha, I love how they did this but BYU is the Cougars... You know, the University here that bans beards

[WillToNihilsm]

I live in Utah, and there is a University there Called BYU. It is a morman university, their mascot is a cougar. There is an intense rivalry, including a "Holy war" where the "Cougars" in all of Utah are represented as mormans. Tensions are high, especially in highschools. This is the real reason for the change.

[starscreamdkmo]

So Palin isnt a momma grizzy, just a experienced cougar

[judasishmael]

I'm a good moral mom who loves her husband and has no interest in anyone else let alone young immature males, but, at the end of the day, I would still not be offended at all to be called a milf. Go Milfs!!!

[plusmin09]

If BYU can handle Cougars being their mascot, in the county with the second highest rate of plastic surgery btw, anyone should be able to tolerate it.

[startreking2007]

So Ford paid to have a school mascot named after a damn car.

[MJandtheWitches]

Well ofcourse there gona reject her, women should be in the kitchen or in bed like how god intended,but then again god fucked us over :(

[xxGhostXIIIxx]

red cocks XD

[tyrannosaurusinf14]

sounds like someone on that school board lost her man to a cougar

[Ragitsu]

Welcome to the Twilight Zone.

[JBoogieRadio]

fuckin sssssssstupid

[BarackMcBush]

Best college team I ever took the field with are called the Cougars.

[timmg3]

there are thousands of high schools/ colleges that have that nickname wow
