Under fire from the National Rifle Association, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse might go in a much different, “truthier” direction to name its mascot.
Campus members in January voted to christen its eagle “Eddie,” but the NRA recently notified the university it has a trademarked gun safety mascot with the same name. Pick another name, the NRA advised.
So UW-La Crosse will vote again â?? and this time, thereâ??s a new contender.
