It took longer than I thought it would, but PETA has finally asked the NCAA to include "Gamecocks" among the banned nicknames. Their feeling is that cockfighting is illegal and that schools should not be able to use that nickname any more than they would "drunk drivers" or "road ragers."
They did say they had no problems with "Lions," Tigers" or "Bears" (oh, my) or any other animal nicknames currently in use.
