Who thought of this name?

mackinoncougars · 2012-10-29T14:01:41+00:00

I'm guessing a community of cotton farmers did.

red-it · 2012-10-29T14:33:06+00:00

You have cotton, it needed picking. Of course if you have meat processing plants, and it needs packing, you end up with the Green Bay Packers.

Nothing wrong with the name.

I have no cotton pickin' idea.

Dominoes282 · 2012-10-29T13:54:58+00:00

It's because they're all negros.

Bridgemaster11 · 2012-10-29T14:01:31+00:00

For anyone who wants to know more about the school

drburropile · 2012-10-29T14:03:28+00:00

Maybe cause it was a hard job that people took pride in.

Mr_Insulin · 2012-10-29T15:14:10+00:00

Oh.. Robstown ._.

Who thought of the Delta State Fighting Okra?

forever_a_nerd · 2012-10-29T15:32:46+00:00

Is that in Robstown, TX?

hundmani · 2012-10-29T14:00:34+00:00

A genius.

Robstown, TX?

DalekCaek · 2012-10-29T13:26:34+00:00

Repost or not, the school's team may have been named decades ago, and you know how stubborn people can be about changing those things.

In addition, there really is no sense in changing it if no one is offended.

Oh hell...how has the NAACP not torn this school administration to ribbons?

Nuclear_Bob · 2012-10-29T13:42:14+00:00

It's an all black school

gkiltz · 2012-10-29T13:43:10+00:00

The same schmuck who came up with "Gamecocks" and "Chanticleers"

enragethehive · 2012-10-29T15:18:45+00:00

Pretty sure Oakland Raider, Gene Upshaw, went to school there.

BonnieRocker79 · 2012-10-29T15:49:59+00:00

There is nothing racist about that name what so ever. It is kind of funny that it's a basketball team though

ja_bour · 2012-10-29T16:28:16+00:00

Who thought of posting this in r/wtf??

Straight_To_Ace · 2012-10-29T17:31:37+00:00

You should ask the other 50 people who have posted this. They should know...

Pseudonova · 2012-10-29T17:59:29+00:00

Maybe Kendall knows.

lolitahlia · 2012-10-29T18:08:09+00:00

if you're going to pick a controversial name at least make it intimidating.

aurorasfr · 2012-10-29T18:11:40+00:00

No, it's cool. They're taking it back.

1337p3n15 · 2012-10-29T19:30:56+00:00

why is this in r/wtf?

KrokodileJaws · 2012-10-29T20:06:43+00:00

Oh wow, I didn't even know this existed. My friends were joking about making a logo for a web design class for "The Harlem Cotton Pickers". I guess they don't need to.

Circlejerk_Conductor · 2012-10-29T20:21:39+00:00

I went to this school. It was mostly mexicans to be honest. "The Landscapers" or "The homies" would have been a better name tbh. Not very many negroids either.

This...is just...wrong.

sum1calledalex · 2012-10-30T03:29:14+00:00

I read this one in Ollie Williams' voice. "WHO WANTS THIS DOG?"

osm0sis · 2012-10-30T05:02:49+00:00

At least it doesn't single out a race. I mean we wouldn't get angry if they called themselves the "coal miners".

From that perspective, it still seems less racist than the Washington Redskins or Cleveland Indians

ofd1197 · 2012-10-30T07:03:06+00:00

Massa done thinked it up.

I'm guessing white folk.

Ontopourmama · 2012-10-29T19:30:55+00:00

My mother used to pick cotton when she was a child. What's the problem?

CHAAAZZZZ · 2012-10-29T18:58:15+00:00
