[QUOTE="IndyIllini2, post: 1934864, member: 513032"] I have yet to hear a good argument for having a mascot. The Chief was a symbol that was respected. When I was a child, we were taught to stand, clap along and sing along. If we didn't, we faced the consequences. That is the real issue IMO. Entitled parents teach entitled children that they can do whatever they want. What would be the point of putting an Illinois shirt on some random creature? How is that fun? Mascots are childish and pointless. Chief was a symbol to be respected and cannot even be compared to a mascot. [/QUOTE]
