Yes, we must put an end to the Sparky skits:
"Walk like an angel" - offends atheists and defies the Church and State separation clause because we are a Public University
"The Saturday Night Fever Skit" - Sparky with the big inner-tube on his head representing a 70's Afro Hairdo is offensive to African Americans and reflects on the Blaxploitation stereotypes
"The Multiple Sparkys" - 5 or 6 various sized Sparkys come out (Mrs. Sparky and their kids) is offensive and hurts the feelings of couples who cannot conceive children. They come to a basketball game and then are confronted with a shortcoming in their lives that cause them pain. Also any parent that has lost a child would be hurt to see the Sparky family unit. Also single mothers would be slammed for their choice to go it alone by having Sparkys nuclear family rubbed in their faces.
"Sparky spies on the Enemy Huddle with a periscope" - puts in an unfavorable light persons of Eastern block heritage who are thought to be spies.
Hell, "your nationally ranked" (what place did they get) Dancing Flames is an insult to overweight women have their faces rubbed in that they are not lithe and slim.
Why have any entertainment at the games at all ? There is something to offend everyone !
DISCLAIMER - Please take with extreme sarcasm, just presented to show the utter ridiculousness of the original argument.

Hey, I get it...everyone here doesn't give a crap. You feel differently. No big deal. Unlike some of you I don't feel a need to call names for something I disagree on. I spoke to some friends, and they agreed with me...so we're just different people...again, no big deal.
We have like 30 real fans posting on this board...I don't think we need to be calling each other names because we disagree. I found it odd, you didn't. I think you're wrong, you think I'm wrong. No one is.
