Being a mascot, however, can earn you a letter in high school and even an athletic scholarship since most colleges have mascots. Usually mascots do the same thing at all levels: get the crowd into the game, and entertain fans.
Mascots should be respected, and acknowledged in the media. Also, they deserve more funding for training. If the media had more coverage of mascots, they would earn more respect and it would be nice to have our job be recognized.
Unfortunately, some colleges have been forced to cut their mascot programs while cheerleaders remain intact. Some say cheerleaders are enough to pump up the crowd but they aren’t as comical and that takes away from the experience. Mascots dissipate tension.
