It seemed to escape them that the cat existed before someone co-opted "cougar" as a label for used-up, desperate broads chasing young dick. Sports teams named for animal mascots are as old as sport itself. This is also another instance where adults corrupt and ruin games for the children. Kids just want to play and enjoy. I'm shocked that someone hasn't insisted that the U of Houston and Brigham Young, or any other school sports team in the country, drop the cougar nickname. Ridiculous.
