I have to wonder where the name Gators came from for Grafton? I know the students there voted on it from what the google machine tells me, but, gators? Was it just for the alliteration?I grew up in Hanover. Our team was the Indians. It's now the Hanover Hawks.
I lived in Grafton almost twenty years. They were the Indians, too. Now they're the Grafton Gators
political correctness sucks
Don’t joke, there is someone pushing to have them stop using the fighting Irish mascot. Someone even paid for a poll and it was apparently the 4th most offensive sports mascot:As an Irish person I want Notre Dame to remove their Leprechaun!
In that case we should petition to have Joe Biden removed as Presidential mascot as well!Don’t joke, there is someone pushing to have them stop using the fighting Irish mascot. Someone even paid for a poll and it was apparently the 4th most offensive sports mascot:

Did you know the Natick Redmen weren't name after Indians. The town color is Red though that's why all the town trucks are painted red.Grafton Ginas?
One of my shooting buddies was a football player for Natick and fought HARD against them changing the name from Redmen.
Politicians are infamous for trying to confoundAs per usual our illustrious state legislators are working on something that totally has no bearing on real life. I’m sure if asked, a Native American would not give a crap if a school was using an Indian term. Nevermind the over 20000 illegal immigrants being put up all over the state with no accountability of the costs. They are more concerned about them being audited and hiding what they do from the voters. Saying “vote them out” in this state ain‘t gonna work. And now, with all the new undocumented democrats that have been let in we will be a one party state for 100 years.
Mine will be Katie MorganLet's all open our own private schools. My school mascot is going to be a Honky Cracker. But that's most likely fine with these leftist lemmings.
Yes it is!! Class of 1973Billerica was also the Indians!
Still is !! 85.Billerica was also the Indians!
Like most things bad, its fat middle aged white females with a bob cut that are most likely behind this.I'm wondering how many of these activists are actually indigenous. I'm betting very few, if any.
Still waiting for the Celtics to pronounce it correctly THEN to remove it as a mascot. I feel oppressed.
I heard it the other day. A spokesperson said they want it a State law because of the pushback at the local level. Some pussy Indian thinks he’s disrespected, he’s just a Squaw without a dress.Bill Bans Native-American Mascots At Mass. Public Schools - Boston News, Weather, Sports | WHDH 7News
