Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsWhy are there so many sports teams in this country with devil mascots?
Blue Devils
Sun Devils
Red Devils
Blue Demons
etc.
How does this come to be in a historically Christian nation? They may as well call themselves the Satanists? Maybe i've been influenced by my devoutly religious parents too much, who wouldn't even let me dress up as a witch for Halloween (although they did let us trick-or-treat). What gives?
Note: I'm no longer religious and the names don't bother me. I'm just wondering.
