Right, they’re willing to walk away from untold $$$ to help children, “for the children.” Makes perfect sense. :/
But then, I'd be inclined to tell the hospital, 'no, have the courage of your convictions' and see if they actually will give up the 4.5 million.
Change it to Raccoon Hunt? Who’s talking about raccoons?
/sarc
Is Racoon offensive as well?
Oh man, this thing’s gonna get out of hand; I just KNOW it!
Putting St. Jude on a hospital offends me as I am Catholic and St, Jude would be really ticked off in heaven right now. It’s anti-catholic to be so dang ignorant!
St Jude is a great organization, but I'd tell them don't worry about the name...we'll just give the money to the Shriners Hospital for Children.
Good grief. The forest behind the house is full of coon hunters in season Their dogs usually tree a few too. This is just plain stupidity !
Yep, St Jude isn’t the only option for helping sick kids, and I wouldn’t bother with them when they are willing to turn down millions of dollars for kids just because the group which raised won’t succumb to their pc tyranny.
Political Correctness has many down sides.
St. Jude is racist, assuming that the obvious nick-name of an animal has anything to do with race.
And I wouldn’t change the “coon” either-everybody knows that means racoons, look at how they’re already moving the goal posts by wanting “hunt” deleted from the title. That’s what pc tyrants do-look for the next word which they can pretend is “offensive” just so they keep cracking their whip.
I thoroughly agree. The Shriner’s Hospital for Children can use the money and keep the name Coon Hunt. Enough with the PC!
Ha, good point.
Change to the PETA Sustainable Organic Vegetable Growing Contest, and everything will be OK...except no money raised.
Will they ask hunters to not use any guns that are black?
Will the name ‘St. Jude’ be replaced? It just isn’t inclusive enough of all religions on the entire planet.
How about the word ‘hunt’? Very micro-aggressive, probably a dog-whistle, or something.
And then the money. Will they be donating a percentage to the DNC, Sierra Club, and the HRC campaign? If not it’d be waysis.
Oh, and these persons hunting. Probably a bunch of white conservatives. Will they ensure every possible combination of race, gender (insert alphabet here), faith (or no faith), and dietary preference is represented???
Maybe they should just cancel the whole thing.
Yep, them ‘concessions’ to the Left are OH, SO easy to make...just change to their way of thinking. /s
Much easier to say the hunt is what it is, we’ll be MORE than happy to have other recipients step-up.
Read the article...They already did change it to Raccoon.
This is ridiculous.
