First off, those roosters are far from starved.
Fair enough; you're right I wouldn't really know. I apologize for dramatizing my post with adjectives. The chickens forced to fight to the death are not starved, but well fed and put out to stud on a daily basis.

I don't give a frick what your "definition" that you found says.
Why did you put the word "definition" in quotes? It's a definition from freedicitionary.com. Just because you disagree with the definition doesn't require you put it in scare quotes, as though it doesn't really exist.
But on to the actual subject of your post, the chickens might be (and, admittedly, are) gorgeous animals with a wonderful array of sub-breeds, but the mascot is not a specific sub-breed, but a "Gamecock" wearing spurs. While totally cool that it alludes to a figure from the revolutionary war, the point still stands that the symbol can be and is taken as a reference to cock fighting. Why is this so damn hard to accept?
Once again, it doesn't bother me. Keep on keeping on, Cocks. But can we at least call it what it is?

I guess people feel strongly about their unique state football team and the historical significance of its mascot.
To understand all this, you must understand the South Carolinian(difficult but doable). We are a fiery bunch man, started the Civil War for goodness sake. Much like a gamecock, if you will. I think it fits extremely well, whereas, bulldogs... idk maybe you can tell me why it fits besides the Yale history previously mentioned.

I Lol'd irl.
I just am basically against anything that resembles political correctness. The entire premise of the term political correctness is at the root of what is wrong with this country today. People give more fricks about words than they do about actual actions and it's beyond stupid. Professional athletes are charged and convicted of heinous crimes and keep on keeping on yet Paula Dean drops the dreaded N word and the fricking Al Sharptons of the world make it their mission to ruin their lives.
That is the ind of shite that drives political correctness and I am against anything that resembles it.

Georgia, named after King George, English Bulldog, stout, known for their ferocity in dire situations.
frick if I know, but who do we really have to compete with? MSU? Fresno State? At least we're easily the most recognizable Bulldogs out there

I think I'm gonna call up PETA and complain about your mascot. It is very disturbing to me that you would use that mascot to promote the illegal activity of fighting animals.

Man, I am far from politically correct Like I said, I really don't care at all. I'm sure it bothers someone out there but that's their cross to bear if they so choose.

Ole Miss should change their name from Rebels because I am offended. Maybe they should go with the Black Bears or something.

Are you fricking serious????????
You can't just go around calling bears black!!!
And the "Ole" in "Ole Miss" harkens back to a day when Southern colloquialisms were used alongside racial oppression, so henceforth let them be called the Mississippi Bears. But wait! A "bear" is a slang term for a burly gay man and we can't single out a whole group of people! So, they're just Mississippi. But, then again, Mississippi has brought nothing but sadness and disappointment to this great nation, so let's just not call them anything and pretend they don't exist.
frickin' Tunsil.
