Episode 22 in which Patrick and Philip discuss the mascot of South Stokes High School. The Sauras were an indigenous group that lived in part along the Dan River in what is now known as Southern Virginia and Stokes County. The Stokes County Boys discuss the morality of having a native mascot, even if it is a specific local tribe versus a blatant stereotype (a la Washington's NFL team). Does it honor or degrade the Saura to be the mascot of this high school? Listen to our discussion and let us know what insight you have ([email protected]). 

This was originally going to be a short first segment but ended up being its own episode!
