Good grief. Just because a mascot has a "southern gentleman" look
doesn't mean thats it's promoting plantation owning or slavary as you
implied. There's nothing wrong with having some southern heritage. Most people from the north just don't understand and always link any type of southern heritage to that type of BS...........

Jeez....When did plantation become a buzz word for slavery?...Calm down dude, I don't think Summers was implying anything like that.
