[QUOTE="AutoPoster 3000, post: 1930845, member: 17214"] Every time I read one of these posts that says “If the symbol of the university cannot be a caricature of a Native American, then the only alternative I’d accept is a World War I soldier” I think of this Onion article. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theonion.com/late-blooming-dad-just-now-getting-into-civil-war-histo-1819579124[/URL] Look, I’m a middle-aged dad with lower back problems who collects mechanical wristwatches, so I get the “doughboys are cool” sentiment, but people like us aren’t going to be making these decisions. There’s a better chance of convincing the administration and the student government to adopt a bitchin’ 69’ Camaro as our new mascot than there is a guy in a helmet carrying a rifle. [/QUOTE]
