The '''Stop Being a Pussy''' controversy involved a flyer posted by the men's club hockey team in September of 2006. The flyer, which advertised the men's club hockey team, featured the athletics mascot on the left with the phrase, "STOP BEING A PUSSY" on the right, along with contact information below. The university, which prides itself on free speech, took offense to the sign and sought to suspend the program from competing for the entire 2006 season, including a loss of funding and a follow-up 2-year probationary period. [[M. Diane Murphy]], athletics director, wrote in a press release that "[t]his disciplinary action is not related to free speech, but rather the abdication of leadership responsibilities by senior members of the Club, and not working within established Club Sports policies and procedures."

From the outset, it seemed that most students disagreed with the university's decision in banning such witty, innocuous speech. The [[Spec]] revealed that the university had recently sponsored a shirt during [[homecoming]] that read, "We eat PUSSYCATS like you for breakfast," in reference to [[Princeton]], with "PUSSY" displayed in orange, unlike the rest of the shirt's black text. Shortly thereafter, the university reinstated the hockey team. Oops.
