Officials at the University of Colorado have apologized for the racially insensitive actions of their mascot, which freelanced at a Denver Nuggets game without alerting the school that it would be dressed up as a racist caricature of a gangster.
The incident happened when Chip, CU's costumed buffalo mascot, showed up Friday at the Pepsi Center in Denver for a "kid's night" Nuggets basketball game dressed in "gangster-themed" attire. The fuzzy, cartoon-like buffalo replaced his trademark CU clothing with a white T-shirt and baggy pants, a do-rag and fake gold teeth. The costume also had a graphic of a teardrop tattoo below one eye…
"It was, basically, every stereotypical thing you could think of," CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard said.
Oh no. That's not even close to every stereotypical thing I can think of. It's not like Chip was selling drugs or waving a piece of fried chicken around or making my parents lock the car doors at a stoplight.
Still, you'd think that bison, given their history of persecution and near-genocide, would be a little more sensitive to this sort of thing. I expect this sort of thing from Chief Illiniwek, but not Chip. Not Chip. [/breaks down sobbing]

Chip was also seen drinking a 40 oz. of Olde English
Well, looking at the pants on ol's Chip, I see one thing was missing from him becoming a complete black stereotype….
Where all the white women at?
PC retards. Did anybody even complain about this? Or did CU just decide to take it upon themselves to make a big deal about this? Talk about a publicity stunt.
Chip taught valuable afro-centric lessons to the kids including converting grams to oz. as well as the subtle art of asking for a cigarette before robbing other kids of thier wallets and cell phones.
Soon enough, Chip will be imitating another black stereotype, when he is out of a job.
Chiefs Nokahoma and Wahoo spit out their fire water when they heard about this.
Chip is now Melo and AI's
boybuff-4 -life.Chip is also the only official sanctioned team mascot that can do a double tucked foward roll dunk without the use of a mini-trampoline. He possesses uncanny athletic ability for a Bison of his age.
Outside the Pepsi Center, Chip proceeded to knock over a watermelon stand.
/punches ticket to hell.
Buffalo dat ho, yo.
Fantastic!
Perhaps Chip should just go eat fried chicked, or collard greens, or whatever those Bison eat.
Was that t-shirt tall and airbrushed?
How racist, to think that blacks are the only ones involved in gangs and crime.
theres mexicans too, Chip.

If you gave "Chip" a 9% chance of making a jumper, he'd be Larry Hughes.
When reached for comment, Chip said "Fo Sho".
The Duke Blue Devil is not happy with that red rag, Cuz.
Did he have a subscription to Grape Soda Weekly?
so why is this racist?
Is that really a picture of Chip? All those Bison look the same.
(Since CU named their Macot after poop, they should be a little more lenient.)
Whenever I went to CU games, I always knew there was something off about him. That's why I never looked him in the eye when I walked by him.
I, for one, am tired of all this buffalo on buffalo violence.
Can't a herd just get along?
The Chief would have shot, skinned, and buttfucked Chip. Not necessarily in that order.
