In our first year as a new team, we will have two mascots, King Clark and Queen Shea. In our first four years as an organization, we will release a new mascot every year. This will hopefully create excitement amongst the fans, to see who the new mascot will
Is using Native Americans as mascots for sports teams offensive? It does not matter if it is a high school or a college, sometimes even the NFL. Examples of sports teams that use Native Americans images are Washington Redskins, Florida State Seminoles, and a high school Cherokee Braves. It is not offending and there should not be any problem because it is not making fun of anybody. Using Native American images and names in professional, collegiate, and high schools sport teams does not reinforce and perpetuate stereotypes because it symbolizes their culture, shows that they are ready to play, and appreciates their coexistence.
Big Jay should be nominated into the Mascot Hall of Fame because mascots in the hall of fame have a design that is fun, unique, and memorable. Big Jay has an exclusive design. He has bright and fun colors including crimson and blue. It is also very unique. The Jayhawk’s name is a mixture of both the blue jay, known for it’s way of stealing from other nests, and the sparrow hawk which is a stealthy hunter.
Athena is a major character throughout the book of The Odyssey and is known as the goddess of wisdom and battle. Throughout the course of the book, it is evident that Athena has a weak spot for the main character, Odysseus. Odysseus is trying to return home after the Trojan War, as the other Greek hero’s have already done, however he faces multiple challenges a long the way. Fortunately, for Odysseus, Athena was there to guide him through a few of these troubling situations.

As a general rule, Mascots are usually designed to be funny and jolly. Swinging Friar is loved by the city of San Diego and by the baseball world. “The Swinging Friar of the San Diego Padres is one of the more recognizable and unmistakable mascots in baseball. San Diegans love the big guy, who is always out and about representing the Padres not only at the ballpark, but in the community too” (Paranal). This is why Swinging Friar has a unique and jolly design that appeals to
In my opinion, it is wrong for a team mascot to be racist in any way. Let’s abolish Native American mascots. The first reason that is that a Native American team name/mascot is racist. Adidas reports that they will give free design reserves to schools that want to let go of their Native
Well Who's Aphrodite? Well Aphrodite is a greek goddess of love,beauty,pleasure,and procreation. She is identified with the planet Venus and her roman equivalent is the goddess Venus. There are many stories about her origins.
Symbols can be found everywhere. Whether something grand as a flag to represent a country, or something little and less thought of as a suitcase represents a trip. Our mascot, the jaguar, is a great example of such. Our mascot represents power and authority. Jaguars are powerful animals and I find them to be the best animal to represent our school.
Aphrodite was Adonis' lover and a substitute mother to him. Cinyras, the King of Cyprus, had an extremely beautiful daughter named Myrrha. After Myrrha's mother committed hubris to Aphrodite, by saying her daughter is more beautiful than the goddess; Myrrha was punished with a never-ending lust for her father. Cinyras was disgusted by this, but Myrrha disguises herself as a harlet, and furtively sleeps with her father during the night.
The History.com Staff acknowldeges how Aphrodite was worshipped for love and beauty, so you can imagine all the overboldness that this goddess radiated. Aphrodite was not very well liked among the other gods due to her slight overconfidence (History.com Staff paragraph 9). The article “Aphrodite” mentions Aphrodite’s great beauty and how her husband Hephaestus is not the type of guy you'd think that she would marry. This gorgeous goddess was not well respected on Mount Olympus. She often got in fights with the favorite daughter of Zeus, Athena (“Aphrodite” 2).
Over the past few years, the controversy over sports names or mascots has increasingly become an uproar. The main sports teams being targeted due to controversial mascots are programs having names that deal with Native Americans. Well known programs, such as, the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, and the Washington Redskins are just a few of the many teams being targeted due to controversial team names and/or mascots. Currently, the Redskins are receiving the most heat from racial groups. However, professional sport teams are not the only teams receiving negative remarks; there are well known colleges that are also receiving huge blows for racial symbols.

Once upon a time there was a young girl named Iris. Iris was born in a small village just outside the city of Athens; however, Iris was no ordinary young girl. She was known in all the villages, far and wide, for her indescribable beauty. Men would beg for her hand in marriage and present her with lavish gifts as beautiful as the maiden herself. Unfortunately for all the handsome young men that tried to win Iris’s heart, she was not interested in marriage; all that Iris cared about was nature.
I want to organize my paper by discussing the statue of Aphrodite, how the sculptor had to create certain body parts of Aphrodite. This will help the readers know why they chose to do it that way. I will also research the basic information of Aphrodite. Like, who is her parents, where she was born, etc. I will explain images that will give you a better understanding of my research and how people are today showing how
