One man in Utah started a petition Friday to change the mascot of a new high school, arguing that the name will likely become the butt of a dirty joke. The mascot for Farmington High School, expected to open in 2018, is set to be a phoenix, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. But according to the petition, resident Kyle Fraughton is concerned that when supporters yell “Go Phoenices!” at events, it’ll sound like they’re saying a totally different word. STUDENT TOLD SWEATSHIRT AND JEANS VIOLATED SCHOOL’S DRESS CODE“We were horrified to hear that the phonetics of the word Phoenices are far too close to the word penises," Fraughton wrote on the petition. "We think students are going to rise to the occasion," Williams said.
