Where they Service Commercial figures to allow them to be potential students. So some of the first mascots were designed to be like cheerleaders to lead cheers and help students engage and to make things understandable. So those mascots that were there in the early 20th century. And then how they could get that to donate. And to take on modern ways of advertising they create mascots and University Brands to make that transition so they can buy this all the time every day on campus. One of the things is that they started for professional sports as the batboy in the back girl but early 20th century American Culture begins to use race as a way to advertise and one had racist character of an Asian American and even though they dont have it anymore and how clarence devol was the africanamerican mascot goes to egypt and performs as a traveling Baseball Team but to talk about the fact as part of that performance you can find a chain around his neck and go to the train station in egypt because thats what people expected of africanamericans that they were part of the enslavement representation. What allows them to choose is they were disappearing that indians were eradicated from the continental United States so there is a rubric to honor the past what they thought was the best characteristics of an indian prison may be a fantasy of what a white indian was they thought they were honorable and in nature. It was all different tribes and communities. And to take on native basketry. And that had a historical falsehood about the stop they would take away land from india and all across the United States. They are stereotypes of a stereotype and created to be generic. Thats what makes it so problematic. And then those most of them cant tell you anything so to educate and celebrate what is it me not to achieve those goals and the communities they come from . Mascots today there is a difference between contemporary on contemporaneous peoples and this is not representing them in a way thats positive and so thats a conflict between what history is or should look like and they dont put that together they think thats totally fine to have a white man performing at university and what plays out doesnt have anything to do with that. Why we erase them from what is going on. Part of the ncaa here in indianapolis a few years ago created rules whether you can have mascots or not so basically there was an exception if the tribe comes forward and says it supports it you can keep it. The only problem is just because one tribe says its okay that doesnt mean another community thinks it is okay. Theyre not talking about do away with mascots to get away of indians but positive use to be tribally and historically accurate packrat a professional level the rule is whatever the boss says if you think of a shift among nfl owners in particular they are concerned like the Washington Team brand hurting the franchise if we see change at the nfl level it will be from the owner not from activist pressuring the Cleveland Team to do away with their mascot it will be the owners themselves who stepped forward to say we will not allow this with our brand because it hurts the brand overall. How we talk about each other so what seem minor to you and who they are as a person
