  • Mascots: Performance and Fetishism in Sport Culture
    Platform , Vol. 3, No. 1 Mascots: Performance and Fetishism in Sport Culture Mary C. Daily (Boston College) Sport culture is something of great interest to citizens ranging from sociology scholars 1 to sports fans. The performance rituals that accompany sport include victory dances, school songs, cheers, and mascots. As Rick Minter, a mascot historian writes, “We all care about the symbols, nicknames, and legends of our club – mascots make them real again. They are a bit of our club that we can reach out and touch” (7). If we accept Minter’s conceptualization, what is the theoretical foundation that supports these representations? They make us laugh, we enjoy their athleticism, and kids love them; however, their lineage and purpose runs far deeper than their presence in the arena. This paper argues that mascot performances represent fetishized aspects of sport culture, and specifically, that such rituals embody the ability to relate to and influence the providence of a chosen athletic team. Arguably, the success of college and professional sport teams rests on their ability to claim triumph, and mascot performances are an integral part of that process to those who believe in their power. While sports fans enjoy mascots for their physicality as furry caricatures that dance along the sidelines, their significance is founded on a supernatural power relationship. The performance of mascots perpetuates their fetishized status in sports ranging from high school soccer to professional football. In the discussion of fetishization, one must be forgiving of possible oversimplifications present in the summarizing of various theorists, as the paper’s 1 James Frey and Günter Lüschen outline both collegiate and professional athletics, exploring competition, reception, and cultural significance.

They are the link between the team and the fans. Many people are convinced that they bring luck to the team. For this reason, many fans resist the idea of changing the mascot for any reason; even if the reason is a very important one. America is constantly growing and maturing when it comes to ethnic diversity and understanding. We’re far from perfect, but we have made many advances since the early 19th century. Unfortunately, some of the relics of this bygone era have remained because fans and franchises refuse to let go of the past. Call it luck or tradiOon; sports fans love their mascots and team logos. “ ‘Could you imagine people mocking African Americans in black face at a game?’ he said. 'Yet go to a game where there is a team with an Indian name and you will see fans with war paint on their faces.
