The Mascot question, again

PrintThunder has been gone a couple years now and I honestly don't claim to specifically miss him/it that much. I do, however, miss our having a mascot (and I more specifically miss that crazy inflatable/deflatable version of Thunder which would often appear during the latter half of games, dancing as if on the pipe, belligerently seeking out opposing fans to bonk.)
Especially if the Warriors are having a special, playoff-potential season, it seems pathetic (and apathetic on management's part) that we remain without a mascot. What are peeps ideas for a new mascot and how can we, as a fanbase, encourage new management to address this lack?
(PS - I assume that part of the reason why a new mascot has not yet been unveiled was the pending sale of the team which was probably deemed likely for the past few years now. Why not wait and let the new ownership have another way to brand the franchise their own way? Whatever the reason, there is no longer an excuse for long once the new ownership is official. Let's start the discussion now!)

Thanks Missing Barry. I added the option, which is a reasonable response. Just wondering why? I know it’s kinda more for the kids, and they’re frequently lame, but they can also be fun and effective for focusing fan support, acting like a head cheerleader at games. I definitely agree with Doc Kajita that any new mascot should be part of an integrated revamp of the game side entertainment, entirely. Simply flashing that It’s a Great Time Out (or whatever the latest gem may be) doesn’t make it so.
I guess I’m just a purist. I like good looking dancing girls, of course, but other than that, I’m not a big fan of trying to do much to supplement the basketball – I’m there to watch the basketball, not to get a full WWE-style entertainment experience.

No mascot.
At least from those options. If a good idea was presented, maybe I could be coerced to change my mind. A mascot isn’t a requirement to be a good franchise.
I just went and looked at team’s that don’t really have an obvious mascot, and a lot of them have animals. The spurs have a coyote, the nets have wolves, and the cavaliers have a dog. If we’re going to get anything, it’ll probably be something more like that. Hopefully people are more creative than I am.
The Lakers have a bigger chance of missing the playoffs than the Warriors have of making them.
the Cavs have a dog?
I thought Cavaliers were mounted cavalry or knights in England….
now THAT would be an awesome mascot

Think you confused "Cavalier" with "Cavalry"
But yeah, you got the basics. The Cavaliers were basically soldiers in the English Civil war.

Well, the bridge is a San Francisco thing, I guess… so maybe a transvestite would be a good mascot. RuPaul might be good. He/She would be a very enthusiastic and energetic mascot, I’m sure! Kiddies LOVE RuPaul, too.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is Monta Ellis when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Ok wow
That is just incredibly ignorant and stupid. RuPaul from San Diego, CA and then later Atlanta, GA apparently (thx wikipedia) should be our mascot because people associate SF with transvestite/gay/lesbian stuff? Do you realize how offensive that is?

LOL I know it is a funny image especially if they were all in like Amish style plantation clothing with the women wearing bonnets and everything. Much better than a cheap RuPaul/LGBT reference and a reference that kids are big fans (WTF?!) so I guess it is not like it that much but they are both very disrespectful IMO. Really in either case what business of it is yours if RuPaul wants to dress up like a woman or whatever it is that he/she does or if a bunch of Mormons want to live in a commune and have 50 wives. I really don’t care either way (even though I admit that the San Francisco one would be more accurate than the Mormon one probably).
And just to add another layer of stupidity to it, he prefaced it with saying the bridge connecting Oakland to SF was a San Francisco thing.

I don’t think he said a darn thing about caring if RuPaul wants to dress up like a woman. Also, I would be extremely concerned if a bunch of Mormons want to live in a commune with 50 wives because often when that happens we are talking about taking wives at a very very very young age beyond their will.

And I know about the commune thing with young kids but since the Mormon church doesn’t even condone polygamy any more I was just trying to point out that the reference would just be stupid or very low brow at best. Not to belittle actual people suffering in that situation, because I guess apparently people still do that.

Your momma is just like any other bigot, judging by that quote. It is the popular position to trash Christians in general these days, among the far left. You come for the Mormons, what do you do when you have them? (Not that you’ll get us; we’ll be fine). You will, of course, find someone else to hate. They would be next.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is Monta Ellis when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
What did I say about PC grumbling!?
The term “bigotry” is totally meaningless without context. Am I a bigot to say Neo-Nazis are freaks? Perhaps, in a technical sense I am, but who cares? I can’t tell from your comment if you are actually Mormon or simply a modern “Christian” as so many of today’s faithful neglect to even be aware of what denominations are, but if you are in fact Mormon, you should be aware that your church is engaged in real, hardcore, legally binding bigotry on a massive scale.
Personally, I had childhood friends who were Mormon. They could not have cared less about their religion aside from the fact that they wanted to drink soda and weren’t allowed. Nevertheless, it must be noted that belonging to the Church of blah blah latter day blah means belonging to a church that has recently spent many millions of dollars to enact legislature banning gay marriage, which is equivalent to attempting to enact legislature reinstating Jim Crow laws, which I’m sure you wouldn’t advocate.
In that context, I find it not only reasonable, but my responsibility as a modern, civilized person to overtly speak out against that church. If they weren’t affiliated with religion there would, of course, be no argument against publicly damning them, and I personally don’t care what sort of organization they are when they participate in such unacceptable behavior.

So for you, not being recognized by the gov’t in the way that you would prefer is the same as slavery. The Left’s “morality” is pretty much intellectual suicide.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is Monta Ellis when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
To wax philosophical, even those who advocated slavery were not that much different than other people. They were just ignorant, self-centered and/or arrogant, as almost all of us are in some respect or another. (I, of course, am incredibly enlightened, unselfish and most of all, humble). It’s one thing to condemn a behavior, but it’s another to be so hate-filled, sir. A very big difference.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is Monta Ellis when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Dude
Jim Crow laws does not equal slavery. Jim Crow laws would be segregation and supposedly “separate but equal” status.

It’s not remotely comparable. Gay people aren’t forced into doing anything, e.g. going to crappy schools or sitting at the back of the bus. It’s still intellectual suicide.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is Monta Ellis when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Gay people are as separate but equal as heterosexual couples that choose to live together. They are about as separate but equal as I am, because I don’t get firefighter’s insurance or the same pensions, not being a firefighter. This whole “gay marriage” debate just shows what lemmings Americans are. I think its due to people not understanding basic philosophy and being incredibly superficial.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is Monta Ellis when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
This makes little sense to me
Nobody was saying Prop 8 procedurally applies the same way as Jim Crowe, merily Bimbo was trying to express it is just as morally objectionable in his view. No clue what this firefighter insurance is about other than white noise.

If giving firefighters firefighter insurance and not me is procedurally the same as Jim Crow laws, then I agree.

My god, but you are ignorant.
No, I was not attempting to stipulate a direct logical link between Jim Crow laws and prop. 8, but yes, I was making a correlation between these two hardcore right-wing movenents insomuch as they both represent extremist, anti-modern, profoundly ignorant viewpoints that are incredibly outdated and totally rejected by the vast majority of the American constituency. If you want to make terribly flawed arguments advocating legislative discrimination, by all means, go for it, but you should know most of America thinks that position is insane.

Mormons disagree with the political dogma that a gay union is the same as a real marriage, and they felt strongly about that; therefore, they are freaks to be hated and persecuted. That doesn’t sound like the assertion of someone who is exactly a genius.

Is this the political persecuation you speak of? Call me crazy but I have a hard time seeing where he wrote about how we should persecute Mormons because they are freaks. He is literally saying that he feels it is his responsibility to speak out against an organization that recently spent many millions of dollars to enact legislature [sic] banning gay marriage, which he feels is the (moral) equivalentt to enacting legislature [sic] reinstating Jim Crowe laws. Huge distinction there and to color it as persecuting Mormons because they are freaks is intellectually dishonest.

Bimbo Cole’s “mamma” says:
"You have to be tolerant of all races, colors, and creeds, except Mormons, because they’re crazy freaks".
“he feels is the (moral) equivalentt to enacting legislature [sic] reinstating Jim Crowe laws”
If he can convince people that prop. 8, a law that says the gov’t will not RECOGNIZE gay unions as if they are the same as straight ones, is the equivalent of enacting legislation to instate Jim Crowe laws, and that Mormons have so much power that they directly caused its passage, that is a promotion of hatred and intolerance.
The lies he is spreading are: Mormons are incredibly powerful (we are not) and Mormons promote hatred and intolerance (we do not),.
These two lies will increase intolerance of Mormons and persecution. We’ve already been through this with liberals boycotting and harassing LDS folks causing loss of money and in some cases, losses of employment. People threw rocks, urine and screamed and intimidated LDS women and children during the prop. 8 demonstrations. We were 100% peaceful and did no such things to the other side. We simply exercised free speech, saying things like, “Prop. 8 protects parental rights,” which is true. But we’re the monsters and bad guys somehow. Weird how history repeats itself.
You tell enough lies and repeat them enough, people believe them and feel justified in taking away rights from a weak minority group, like the Mormons.
Of course, they are frightened to take on the Catholics who are a much bigger and more powerful organization who took the side of prop. 8 as well. Cowards.

No biggie. I also wanted to point out that the LDS leadership has repeatedly come out to make comments in friendship toward those who disagree with our position. In particular, they publicly endorsed gay rights legislation in Utah. No one has any excuse to continue to claim we are their enemies or that we are promoting hatred.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is Monta Ellis when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
the gov’t will not RECOGNIZE gay unions as if they are the same as straight ones, is the equivalent of enacting legislation to instate Jim Crowe laws
It absolutely is. It’s discrimination against a class of people based on their class, regardless of general principles. You – or anyone – may believe that it’s morally correct – and so did the people who instituted Jim Crow laws in the first place. The courts have not agreed, and any reading of the court process and the arguments made in defense of Prop 8 make that utterly and perfectly clear
As far as church power goes…. Money talks. To pretend that the funding and advertising for Prop 8 was not largely driven by out of state LDS contributions is disingenuous.
I’m not anti-Mormon, or anti-religion. There is a beautiful temple in an Oregon suburb that exists in part because I felt the purported land-use argument against it was disguised bigotry. In this particular case however I can find no justification for the Church’s behavior, regardless of the Catholic church’s involvement one way or the other.

You do realize that marriage, aside from a wishy-washy religious concept of “union”, whatever the hell that means, is also a legally binding condition with a myriad of extremely serious, real life implications, right? Prop 8 is legislative discrimination restricting gay people’s civil rights, as did Jim Crow laws. The similarity is actually extremely obvious and self explanatory if you know, even vaguely, what a law is.
Also, I never asserted they “caused” the law to be passed, but it is common knowledge that they spent many millions of dollars on political advertising, attempting to frame the law in a moral context, and of course never addressing the real, legal implications of the law, such as denying a gay persons right to determine what to do with a partner on life support, or any of the many other rights allowed married couples in this country. Thus, like any other successful political campaign, they do not have to conspire, but simply outspend the competition.
As for the Roman Catholic Church, it did not fund the authoring and promiotion of the law. This is the exclusive, extremely damning fault of the Church of blah blah blah (I refuse to repeat such a long, silly title). It is incredibly ironic that you attempt to portray this massively wealthy and powerful organization as some kind of oppressed minority because they weren’t well received in actually, literally trying to oppress a genuinely at-risk minority group.

Haha yeah I was thinking about his comment and how I thought it was offensive, and then I thought well what is the other end of that spectrum? Mormon people LOL. My point was that either way it would likely be offensive to people from the given area if you said that straight to their face and both were just ignorant comments in general.
Anyways, the only reason I really said anything about it is because at that point I went straight here from another thread where Naticus was spouting off some stuff about some other topics that also struck me as very ignorant. Just pretty blatantly wrong comments about entheogens, and then saying you can test for the existence of god but o wait haha jk i’m just talking about praying to the scriptures, calling everyone leftist bigots…
I mean I guess if I am the only one that is just totally rubbed the wrong way by this then I should just abandon this site and just listen to Fitz and Brooks for my Warriors fix and acknowledge the complete and utter failure of humankind as a civilization. If it has come to the point where there really are Warriors fans out there like Naticus then I’m not sure what went wrong but WOW.
Seriously are you a real person Naticus? The unfortunate part is I think you are a real person who very much believes that they have the world figured out and is very quick to box people up in a nice little compartment and conveniently label them something like, oh I don’t know, a leftist bigot. No need to believe in science, God himself has spoken to you and exposed his untold glory onto thee. You hold a clear, rational mind that can calmly and cleverly arrive at the truth no matter how little exposure to the real world or real science that you have. All that would be fine but it is that clearly by the tone of your posts you consider yourself an astonishingly well informed and reasonable person and unfortunately you are eager to spread your knowledge to any poor lost soul who has not seen the light. I can only contemplate in sadness the extraordinary amount of lies and disinformation that you spew out into the world around you every day. But congrats on feeling like God has spoken to you that must be pretty cool.

I do think that once the whole thing is done and if everything works out then it would get more buzz around the nation, but ultimately I really don’t think it matters what the nation thinks because the new bridge is a great symbol for the team and represents the whole bay area well. Just moving on from Loma Prieta and building what will be one of the most incredible and especially important safest bridges in the world is a great achievement and a great logo and would make a ridiculous but great mascot. Why are we talking about what everyone else would think about it? I was just saying it was a cheap way to bring up his ridiculous RuPaul joke.

I did
I said it added another layer of stupidity to use the cheap segue like he did. I mean seriously, am I hanging out with the kids I went to school with in 6th grade again?
That’s what I meant by the “how is it not an Oakland thing as well” just going with Bridge > SF > gay jokes and ignoring that the new bridge logo is also the eastern replacement span which is closer to Oakland. Ignoring that and just going right to the SF gay bashing jokes with added possible child endangerment/child transvestite humor attempts was what offended me and I stuck with it as best I could.

Well I got zero clue about the child endangerment part (literally, I have zero clue what the child part was at all) but other than that
I have a hard time getting riled up and offended. I would say the same to be honest about the Mormon joke too. Heck if I heard jokes about Sacramento having cows as mascots or the Lakers having Jack Nicholson as a mascot, I just wouldn’t care.
Essentially I have a hard time seeing Naticus placing a value judgment on anything here and merely playing an association game.

LOL I don’t know what it was about either I just thought it sounded highly inappropriate. And cows for Sac and Jack for the Lakers actually makes sense and is funny and I don’t think would do anyone any harm. However, the callous gay bashing jokes are on a different level, IMO. That type of arrogance/ignorance/intolerance/whatever you want to call it is the type of attitude that leads to people getting physically assaulted and even killed. Perpetuating anti-gay attitudes with jokes like that I personally feel is irresponsible and dangerous to society.

And you're right
He is not explicitly placing value judgements on things it is just implied. But why else would there be a need to bring up someone’s sexuality or the sexual identity of many residents of SF other than the typical gay bashing? If it really does make no difference to him why bring it up? That type of passive-aggressive joking just enables intolerance and hatred to further solidify itself in many people’s minds in this country, and around the world but it seems like especially in this country.

For arguements sake I am going to assume that there is absolutely nothing with the kiddies comment (fully understand that adds another dynamic ... it just made so little sense to me that I really can't tell where he is going with it)
I would argue he is merely bringing up the stereotype that there are a lot of transgenders in SF. Just like the stereotype there are a lot of Mormons in Salt Lake, or annoying movie stars in LA (I guess instead of Jack Nicholson would say a fake and baked annoying looking guy in sun glasses) or Sacramento is a cowtown or Minnesotta is cold and full of pasty white people or New York is full of people with New York accents who yell a lot when driving. I just don’t see how it is any different (again, must emphasize my assumption above though) unless he says something derogatory about it. I don’t think anyone really hates on New Yorkers for yelling while driving or the fact people in Minnesotta are in cold weather all the time and bundled up and pasty or the fact that Mormons actually exist in Salt Lake city regardless of whether some are weirded out by Mormons or not.

I think it is pretty different, not that his comment specifically will do any great amount of harm to one specific person, it is just indicative of people’s attitude in this country to focus on that and try to “otherize” that type of thing. I did not see the value in bringing it up and I think the mere fact that he said it is disappointing because it just reinforces segregating people into separate groups and focusing on our differences in way that actually affects people’s lives, not just “Oh, it’s awful cold in Minnesota”. You are aware that gay kids have been beaten to death because they were gay, right? So maybe as a society we can try to just stop caring who has sex with who? The alternative is to segregate and categorize people and focus on our differences, behaviors that are reinforced by offhand tranny jokes and gay bashing.

It wasn’t gay bashing it was an offhand tranny joke. I’m just saying that either way it contributes to “otherizing” people and makes us focus on our differences which I think is a bad thing ESPECIALLY because people really suffer from bullying and hate crimes against gay people including people that have been beaten to death like that kid in Montana or Wyoming or whatever a long time ago. That is why I think it is on a different level than the harmless ones you pointed out like “Oh jee whiz, Minnesota sure is awfully cold, yeah you betcha”, or “Yeah people in NYC sure are loud aggressive drivers”. Can you really not see the difference? I’m not saying he was going out there explicitly saying gay bashing statements, it’s just that even bringing something like that up is divisive and even if he did not mean anything hurtful by it the comment still serves to divide us and focus on our differences which is a major reason for the prevelance of homophobia and hate crimes in general in our society.

I just thought of this example that may illuminate my feelings better. Think about this comment.
“My whole dang neighborhood is Jews! The guy behind me, Jew. Neighbor to the left, another Jew. At least three of the houses across the street from me are all full of Jews too. And down the street there are even more Jews!”
Now, I did not explicitly do any Jew bashing, but what is the effect of that statement? In what way does it contribute anything positive to society? Wouldn’t it be better to not categorize people and look at them as individuals? It is these types of views and comments that divide us as a society.

And I do in fact believe that comments like that serve to separate us and make us focus on our differences in a way that is not harmless and playful like your examples. Has anyone ever been attacked in a hate crime because they were an old Jewish retired person living in Florida? I mean I’m sure they have gotten randomly mugged or robbed but it is not like there is a prevalent anti-Jewish-person-living-in-Florida sentiment in this country (to my knowledge)

And yes, wally, I appreciate the dialogue and I appreciate that you are not offended. In fact it does not surprise me at all that you are not offended because much of our society is built on categorizing others and focusing on our differences. The point of my comments has not been to make anyone offended, if you guys thought it was a funny joke then that’s fine. I just wanted to point out that I don’t think the casual otherizing of different groups is beneficial to society. Like I said, in my opinion it just serves to uphold the status quo of segregating and labeling people.

And then as it is lowering down they are playing “The Final Countdown” and then once he is finally in place the bridge guy would have to start dancing like G.O.B. from Arrested Development did to that song.

I would love to see someone in that suit just try to do some of the stupid trick stuff. For instance, trying to sled down the stairs but it’s so darn wide that it can’t even fit down the aisle so ends up awkwardly hitting the seats on the side, tips over and crashes down the stairs then picks itself up and tries to act like nothing happened while jumping up and down clapping and trying to get the crowd excited.

bring in a new awesome mascot like the bridge transformer, or the pirate or a gritty reboot of the warrior guy as a surprise at half-time in an important game shoot some fireworks off and set the sprinklers off and get everybody wet and mess everything up.
What a fantastic idea.
