20lendries says that schools pick mascots that people will look to, but what he doesn't realize is that according to the article Honor or Insult? "More than 2,000 high schools and colleges have stopped using Native American mascots and symbols." That's why I disagree with what 20lendries said because many schools are realizing that people aren't liking their mascots because they are offensive and or racist, so they are switching their mascots to something else.

I believe that you should ban controversial mascots because there has been problems in pro sports about mascots. There has been an argument for a while about changing the NFL team name, the Redskin. According to to Wikipedia, "Redskin is a slang term for Native Americans defined in dictionaries as offensive and or insulting."
