...but in order to be “diversity compliant”, don’t they need to add a beige color skinned potato as well? Just for “diversity” sakes? Or is it enough to have a “potato of color” as the main logo only?

PETA should change their name to Potato heads for the Ethical Treatment of Apples.

Why not? They’re playing like a bunch of couch potatoes. The team’s been under a curse ever since Dan Snyder took ownership.

There is an utter surfeit of loonies walking around these days.
For some reason, many of them are drawn to PETA.
Shocking.
