Re: Attention Mascots (and teams with one)
I might have a soft spot since I use to be one of those kids in the mascot suits and I don't want to band them from competitions but the prevalence of kids abusing the suits seems to keep getting worse.

I understand some kids abuse the anonymity of the suits to do inappropriate things (which should always be reported) but it shouldn't ruin it for the people who use the suits for spirit.
I think to help combat this a registration is needed at competition along with some safety rules regarding suits, especially for those who wear any kind of mask.

Honestly, teams should sit down with kids and explain to them what is appropriate and what isn't and punish those who do not follow those rules. (sadly, I know this will probably not happen with every team but one can dream)
