As part of the name change, the school also will retire the mascot known as Cappy the Crusader, who depicts a warrior who fought in the Crusades, the series of religious wars between Christians and Muslims in medieval Europe. “We believe that the University nickname and mascot should be a unifying symbol that enhances school spirit and pride for all who are affiliated with Capital,” the letter read. “In recent years, our nickname has been challenged by students and faculty for its connection to the historic Crusades.

Wildcats- offensive to owners of domesticated cats. Sooners- offends people who are habitually late. Trojans- offends those who use Gold Circle. Chargers- offensive to those struggling with credit card debt. Huskies- obviously offends people battling obesity. Runnin’ Rebels- offensive to rebels who are paraplegic.
