mascot stereotypes

“As a distinguished member of the National Bear Society living in the Colorado mountains, and having just awakened from my winter hibernation in time to join this discussion, I would like to voice my disapproval of harmful mascot stereotypes.

Having been elected by a congregation of my fellow Rocky Mountain black bears, and having been ratified by the United Polar Bear Federation, I am fully qualified to speak for my brother and sister bears when I say we demand the Chicago Bears drop their slanderous moniker, and issue a public apology to bears of all nations for their insensitivity.

And I can warn other prejudicial sport franchises that more is to come. Badgers, wombats, tigers, sharks, mighty ducks, cubs, giants and Trojans are uniting to end this oppression and racial intolerance.

We will not rest until all sports franchises fall to our will.”
