Did you know they can drink boiling water? I learned this little nugget via <em>ELT<\/em>. In fact, the hosts of <em>ELT <\/em>have been pushing the idea of the flamingo as a sports mascot for <a href=\"https:\/\/gimletmedia.com\/shows\/every-little-thing\/xjheol\/dont-underestimate-the-flamingo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">some time<\/a>. Now that there actually is a pro team that uses the \u2019mingo, it only made sense for the podcast to talk about it.<\/p>\n<p>Kuba Krzy\u017costaniak, director of fan engagement for Forward Madison FC, <a href=\"https:\/\/gimletmedia.com\/shows\/every-little-thing\/wbhabn\/pink-for-girls-blue-for-boys-why\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">appeared this week<\/a> on an episode of <em>ELT <\/em>to discuss the origins of the club\u2019s logo. He says other teams throughout history \u201cmissed the boat\u201d when it comes to flamingo representation.<\/p>\n<p>Host Flora Lichtman, who prefers the abbreviation flam to \u2019mingo, agrees \u201c1000%.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Krzy\u017costaniak goes on to talk about the flamingo\u2019s history in Madison and some of the backlash the team received for using pink as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebozho.com\/lets-rank-usl-league-one-kits-uniforms\/\">primary color<\/a>. (The subject of this <em>ELT<\/em> episode is the history of pink and blue as gendered colors.) It\u2019s a pretty fun listen. Until it turns adversarial, that is.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 10px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border-radius: 3px; height: 130px; width: 100%; box-shadow: 0 0 25px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);\" src=\"https:\/\/player.gimletmedia.com\/wbhabn\" width=\"100%\" height=\"130\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 20px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>When Lichtman finds out that Forward doesn\u2019t actually have a person in a flamingo suit as their mascot, she goes (comically) nuclear. Krzy\u017costaniak says the team intended to get someone in a suit for this season, but it never coalesced. Instead, they adopted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BxD1V62HRkN\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lionela Bessi<\/a>, a baby dairy cow. And Lichtman, who lives that flamingo lifestyle 24\/7, was not having it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re telling me that even though you have flamingos all over your jerseys, your mascot is a <em>baby cow<\/em>?\u201d Lichtman chides.<\/p>\n<p>This, of course, is wildly unfair to Lionela Bessi, who is an extremely good cow. You leave Lionela out of this, Flora Lichtman!<\/p>\n<p>The Forward Madison FC segment starts around 23:45. The Flamingos\u2019 next home game is June 15 against FC Tucson at Breese Stevens Field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soccer fans in Madison aren\u2019t the only ones going full \u2019mingo.
