I propose that we make a UN Mascot that could represent us at football games. Since we don't have a football team, I propose that we make one, so we can challenge the winner of the Superbowl every year. The UN football team vs. the Superbowl winner. Since we can't just be the "UN Football Team," we obviously must have a mascot. Post suggestions here!

If the real UN doesn't have a mascot, why should the NS one have a mascot?

I think The Simpsons gave suggested a pretty good mascot and motto for the UN.

Have a picture of a dove carrying a machine gun, with the motto "Peace at any cost" underneath it.

The nation of Sophista is quite amused by the mental image of a United Nations football team playing the steroid-infested hulks of the National Football League. To subject a multinational coaltion of UN players (unless they were of particularly stock Eastern European descent) would be pretty mean. Maybe the mascot should be something covered in spiked armor?

Sincerely yours,

i think all players on all teams should have to wear mascot costumes
while playing, and no faire taking off your heads either.

heat prostration would of course be an occupational hazzard but perhapse some sort of airconditioning could be incorporated like in space suits

in carlemnaria we have teams of little mechanical robots
really the only reason anyone goes to watch the games is because those
little mechanical critters are fun to see

then there are the roboplushie leagues

a roboplushie is like a plushie arround the outside of a mechanical robot

ordinary human athletics seem kind of boring to most carlemnarians

Yes, I loved that one! Of course, that is a common cultural misconception on the part of the Americans. The RL UN might have that image, but in truth it must fill in all sorts of forms and get all the right stamps before it can fire the machine gun.

There was the famous case in Bosnia in the early-1990s, when several thousand civilians were being massacred, and the US and UK refused air support because the Dutch and Danish ground troops used the wrong form when faxing the request to headquarters. :roll: And since they were a couple of companies against a mechanised infantry regiment, they had no choice but to withdraw. Something like 7000 civilians were killed because the UN needed the correct form filled in.

If we're going to have a football team at least make it a proper one. One that the ill-informed may describe as, say, 'soccer'.

*shudder*

The UN is a peculiar organism conjoined of diverse parts.

A suitable mascot representative would be a platypus.

:lol: Yes, the mournful animal which looks as though everything has already happened to it! This is my current favourite suggestion.

I would say the UN could be called a mixed mass of diversity.

How about a squid?
