My problem with this decision is "where does it end"?
Hostile and abusive
I got on a web site that listed colleges and their nick names, I would like to add the following to the banned list.
Aggies (Farmers might be offended)
Archers (portrays guys with bows and arrows in a neg light)
Beavers (for obvious reasons)
Belles (Southern women)
Black Knights (African Americans for lack of a better term)
anything with Devil in it (Christians)
Boilermakers (Factory workers offended by "big dope" mascot)
Bombers (Too violent)
Buccaneers (portrays Pirates in a neg light)
Celtics (offends the celts)
Cornhuskers (offends corn farmers)
Comboys (belittles what a real cowboy is like)
Demon Decons (Portrays church leadership as evil)
Gamecocks (Sexually suggestive)
Giants (Slang for big people)
Hurricanes (Might haunt Florida residents resently hit by storms) Add Cyclones to this one.
Hilltoppers (Could offend those that dwell in hills)
Hokies
Irish
Loggers
Lumberjacks
Mountainers.
Is there even any mascot or name that wouldn't offend someone?
