The San Francisco Giants are considering a new dress code for fans, which may include a ban on fake Native American headdresses and other “culturally insensitive” clothing.

I’m Scottish and I am offended that you are not wearing a Kilt.

And not wearing it ‘correctly.’

It looks like MLB is going to see a drastic drop off of attendance at the Atlanta Braves and Cleveland Indians games.

Bet a lot of money that the Oakland Raiders won’t follow this up with their fans.

I get PO’d every time I go to a Dbacks game and the stands are full of illegal aliens wearing LA Dodgers hats and shirts. That’s “cultural insensitivity” if you ask me.

What should “half-breeds” like me wear?

Most of us don’t make a fuss over what other people are wearing or what name or logo a sports team has. If someone in front of me sat down with a headdress I’d be much more worried about whether I could see the game than I would be over whether the member of the Village People in front of me was somehow “degrading my culture” or some similar sort of nonsense.

The couple of Indians I happen to know who get upset over this sort of thing are women with too many college degrees in fields that don’t matter and who are generally insufferable to be around even if you’re another Indian.

And don’t offer to push in someone’s stool at the bar, if you’re wearing a “No Fat Chicks!” tee-shirt.

I am of German ancestry. The next time I see an Indian wearing a Pickelhaube I’m raising hell.

I’m more of a lederhosen kind of Indian. . . oddly enough, I’m also of German ancestry as well.

And Gigantism is a medical condition.

Are the “Giants” making fun of people with a medical condition?
