1. Why do some people feel racial mascots should be banned? 2. Why do others want to hold on to them?

Answer Below

Explanation:

I think the first question is quite obvious. It's offensive and represents stereotypes geared towards a certain race. Others may try and hold onto it because of the legacy that the infamous mascot holds. The NFL team Washington 'Redskins' is a racial slur. As a result, it was changed. People who grew up with the name may hold onto it. They may know it's wrong but don't want something they once hailed as a fan to change.

answer; (religion)
