m.facebook.com/groups/148241808586719/permalink/7305539212856907/?mibextid=UMFNzUI’m sorry but our “President” has issues. Small minded & overly political. This is beyond unacceptable… having SDSU Police do her dirty work, being her hit squad. Too cowardly or lazy to do it herself. This is beyond unacceptable to me. She will never be an Aztec IMO. Also, I don’t trust her at all to not try to get rid of the Aztec moniker. I have stopped donating and if she continues I will change my will so no money goes to the University. Waiting for her stans to come in and rip me and defend her in … 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

How many people (Native Americans) have been offended by the San Diego State Aztecs use of Carlos (dude does a great job!) as the Aztec ambassador over the years? He has done nothing but bust his hump going well above and beyond what is called for. He has been and still is an excellent Aztec Ambassador for San Diego State. Hell I still remember the San Diego KGB Chicken running around the old stadium getting drunk swigging beer out of gallon milk cartons and everyone knowing that the chicken was a SDSU grad doing promo work for a local radio station, Boy have times changed. If you ask me Long Live Disgruntled Monty!
and remember you damn kids, turn that music down and get off my lawn (stop parking your cars on my lawn!) |

She was a controversial admin at U of A as she was outspoken about illegal aka "Natives." I can tell you her Spanish is horrific and limited so just how passionate she is about her ethnicity I question.
She is a Politian first and foremost. As a President, the only thing I know about her is this subject which is a mute subject at best.
She needs to go!

I work with Kumeyaay kids all over the county, and none complained about the mascot—the furthest thing from their minds. Even the elders have never complained about the name or mascot. We deal with real-life issues and not mascots. It would be different if the mascot was a racist caricature from the 50s like the Cleveland Indians. Just stupid.

anyone with these opinions a member of an indigenous tribe or clan? Why would the opinion of a local indigenous tribe/clan matter? And BTW, it's ironic you are concerned about the opinion of a local tribe/clan concerning a lost civilization that was located thousands of miles from here, yet your handle is "aztecalum". That is very insensitive and a serious microaggression. Check your privilege. |

That is very insensitive and a serious microaggression. Check your privilege. I will assume you are being sarcastic. Last time I checked the Trojans were located in modern-day Turkey. Spartans were located in Greece. I could go on but I think everyone gets the point. School names don't have to be regionally and culturally based. |

anyone with these opinions a member of an indigenous tribe or clan? The super sensitive white people who believe, because they are hypersensitive, other cultures must be too are misguided. Most cultures are resistant and proud of their heritage. A mascot that is not completely historically accurate doesn’t offend a proud people. It offends entitled, spoiled, over sensitive, drive 60 in the fast-lane so people don’t speed types. |

It offends entitled, spoiled, over sensitive, drive 60 in the fast-lane so people don’t speed types. Bingo. But back to the issue … our school President. It’s bad enough she dictatorially got rid of the Aztec Warrior with really no discussion, debate, polling, surveys, etc. But what she pulled on Carlos/the Aztec Warrior… so incredibly small and petty. Someone in her position should be mature, classy, collaborative, inclusive. A leader. But her? Nope. Can we start a recall campaign? If people didn’t have lives, this ahole-ish stunt would deserve a MAJOR demonstration either at her office or her house. Call all the news stations, make a big deal of it… expose her I have never agreed with both her decision, nor how she went about doing it. But I still tried to respect her and her position. No more. When people in power pull stuff like that, it’s not a one off. Trust and respect are undeserved. She’s not an Aztec, she never will be one. There are probably scores of Aztec alums qualified to do her job that love and respect our university and traditions… and are inclusive. She ain’t it. If she was gone tomorrow it would be too long. |

it's getting near the time for those who follow the woke traditions to demand a name change for the aztecs. a small vocal group, most of which will never graduate, will be crying that the aztec name and mascot are racist. la presidente will agree and a new name for the sdsu will be mulled over. the monty statue will be taken down and put in a basement somewhere on campus, or melted and the metal sold for scrap. Maybe used to make planchets for medals honoring the great former aztec mascots---tufi, carlos, monty himself. the medals will be sold to add to nil funds, or a bonus for la presidente. I'd like to make the first suggestion for a new name based on this year's play. the San Diego State Hod- carriers. at least for the basketball team.

Well considering a local group of "Aztec dancers" created the Regalia that Carlos wears, I'd say yeah there are those with an opinion that are members of an indigenous culture (at least as close as you can get to those with Aztec heritage). |
