Been there, done that, already have a t-shirt:

I’d much rather see guys do things like this, which use the marketplace and free discourse to discuss these things, than to have an activist “interest group” use “lawfare” against these teams.

On a similar front maybe the Washington Redskins could change their name to the Washington White Boys.

Or they could pick a different offended group and choose a politically correct name like the Washington Homosexuals. Let’s see anybody DARE to make fun of homosexuals!

Feather being replaced by a $ is a stroke of genius..............somehow this will assuredly be deemed racist without a doubt.

Well, they certainly play like that at times.

I was in a store recently and saw a rack of Cleveland Indians t-shirts featuring Chief Wahoo.

The old rendering of Chief Wahoo. With the really big nose and all from the 1940’s.

I have to admit, that was tough even for me to look at.
Hard to believe they’d produce that shirt, let alone put a rack of them out front-and-center.

In general this Indian PC stuff is way overblown, but that is a damned insulting caricature IMO.

I tell you what, they better leave Chief Wahoo alone.

I’m waiting for both the NAAWP and the Congressional White Caucus to be founded. Anyone know when that might happen?

The Palefaces.

Paleface is the historical term.

[MrB]

THAT will be classified by the left as “militant and racist”,
because the YTs are not supposed to be “fightin’” against anything the left wants to impose on him.

[Red Badger]

I’m OFFENDED!

Now gimme your money......................

[dfwgator]

Bring back Chief Nokahoma!

[Red Badger]

In Chile, ‘paleface’ means to MOON somebody!, IOW, ‘To show your pale face’..................

[ifinnegan]

I didn’t know that.

[Red Badger]

So, never call a Chilean a ‘Pale Face’ !......................;^)
