“Raising Hell”

http://www.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2010-08-09-mascot-pastor-arrested_N.htm

A Georgia pastor was arrested doe picketing Warner Robins High School’s sports teams nickname, the Demons. The pastor will spend much of his jail time in the exorcize yard.

Some doubt the pastor’s sincerity, since he isn’t a fan of the Anaheim Angels or the New Orleans Saints.

The pastor and his fellow protesters object to the connotation of the nickname. He would prefer that the teams were called something more reminiscent of a church environment, such as the Cardinals, the Padres, or the Fighting Irish.

Similar protests were held before, but by actual demons when the school loses a game.
