Keep The Gamecock Logo As it Is
Sign Now
We, the undersigned
Wish to express our desire to see the University of South Carlina "Gamecock" logo, consisting of a Fighting Gamecock or Cock, with fighting spurs stay as it is. We would like to express our desire to see Governor Sanford, President Sorenson and Atheltic Director Hyman take a strong stand against the political correctness of the People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals. As it stands "Cockfighting" within the borders of South Carolina is illegal, and we the undersigned support such laws making the "sport" of "Cockfighting" illegal. We the undersigned do not wear said logo for the purpose of supporting the blood sport that is "Cock-fighting," or any blood sport in which animals are involved. And anyone that does violate such laws by harming any animal in the name of sport, is willfully ignorant and in violation of the laws of the Great State of SOuth Carolina. What we do recognize is that the "Gamecock" or rooster is a valiant animal, with a brave spirit, that outside the admiring of honorable men and women, is an animal worthy to be emulated. We further state that we support such logo as a symbol of athletic pride and tradition, and our desire to see students which participate in the University of South Carolina athletics take on that brave, valiant spirit in all their personal and athletic endeavours.
While much more can be said we, the undersigned, have put our name to this petition to duely express ourselves to the above stated individuals, in hope that they will, as public servants, heed this petition and act accordingly to its expressed desires.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

Until people take the time to understand the history of cock fighting, the nature of a gamecock and the condition in which gamecocks are raised versus the way chickens are raised for food that we buy in the store, they have no business trying to change ou

As the article stated back in the early 1900's, the football players fight like gamecocks. Also the mascot is rich in SC history--Thomas Sumter, The Gamecock. DON'T CHANGE OUR MASCOT!!!

I am tired of radical organizations trying to impose their wills on others. The University should not be giving these people any forum at all.
