On Sunday, May 17, the mascot of the St. Louis Cardinals held a sign that read "Police Lives Matter." The person in the mascot outfit said he did not know what was on the sign.
For this action, Fredbird has been labelled a "racist." Again, this is a baseball mascot holding a sign saying that police lives matter.
The website Deadspin learned of the picture below and ran a story titled, "Your Racist Uncle Will Love This Picture Of The Cardinals' Mascot:"
The author of the article, Tom Ley, then rambles for several paragraphs in an expletive-filled tirade.
...The image was then posted to the St. Louis Police Officers Association Facebook's page. When the Cardinals heard about the controversy, they contacted the page and asked them to remove the image, which they did.

Who the f@ck are they to tell us what is racist and what isn’t? Who made them the arbiters and deciders?
To hell with them. We have to start rejecting the premises, rejecting their worldview and framing of eerything and accepting that their interpretation is calid. They are starting out with hatred and a warped view of reality.
They ignore everything that refutes their worldview. They care nothing about our objections or differing opinions. they claim tolerance while using evry means to crush and make powerless anyone who isnt 100% with them.
Calid == valid.
Sheesh.
It’s a bird....it’s species-ist.
And I think it’s black too. So it’s an uncle Tom bird too!
‘Racist’ has long since lost its meaning. It now is a blanket statement meaning someone didn’t put blacks/browns in a favorable light.
Growing mighty tired of this nonsense. Especially since the true racial bigots like Jamie Foxx, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Jeramiah Wright, Spike Lee, Don Lemon, et. al., have yet to be called out for their vitriol.
Obama didn’t just set race relations back...he poisoned the well.
Perhaps st. louis police need to stop providing security to cardinals games since police lives don’t matter to them.
Pope Francis was holding the sign?
I guess caring about any life but a black life is now racist. It’s gone from “black lives matter” to “ONLY black lives matter.”

There you go using logic and common sense in a world where those things do not apply.
nothing racial about that
Youd think theyd show the sign to other blacks than anyone else. Since blacks kill the vast majority, over 90%, of other blacks. Everyone else seems to intuitively know all lives matter, except blacks.
Liberals cant comprehend facts that comfront their worldview so its useless talking to sloganistas.
How many police have been murdered?
Apparently, the Cardinals don't think that police lives matter.
Now that is just funny, because I thought the same thing.
Absolutely ridiculous to call it racist.
So what is going to happen to this country when the welfare runs out.
