5. But "Redskins" and "Crusaders" are fine?

Q: And how does "cougar" differ from "sugar daddy"?

A: One's a large cat and the other is a candy on a stick.

Unless the school logo is Mrs. Robinson in a teddy or they advertise their school as "MILF High School", I really don't see the problem.

Oh, and how about "The Trojans"? That could be offensive to anti-birth control sorts.

Lest this degrade into a discussion about (as they are so eloquently referred to) the "b", "c", and "n" words, why can't people just accept that words have multiple meanings, even if they are slang alternatives? George Carlin addressed this long ago - some words have double meanings, others do not, and for the sake of keeping with the eloquent references, he was talking about the "t" word.

On Edit: That isn't the word "tits".
