The sports teams at my daughters HS school were called the Bulls, based on the symbol for the Town. They didn't know what to call the Girls Sports Teams. Bullettes? Bang, Bang? Dumb. Cows????? You want INSULTING? They eventually settled for Lady Bulls. A bit silly, but ok. Cougars is not insulting. At least it is an animal and can apply to BOTH GENDERS. A Bull cannot be female.
