ST. LOUIS (CBS St. Louis/AP) — A photo of St. Louis Cardinals mascot Fredbird holding a “police lives matter” sign was posted to a police association Facebook page before the team asked that it be taken down. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports sports website Deadspin took aim at the mascot last week after the photo was posted to the St. Louis Police Officers Association Facebook page. Deadspin titled the post: “Your Racist Uncle Will Love This Picture Of The Cardinals’ Mascot.”
They shoulda used a white bird.
That bird is red but they got him in ‘black face’ — clearly racist!!!
I feel horrible about this.... I think I am having a micro-rage moment. Wait, I am a privileged white guy...can I even rage?
I’m as Fred as a bird now
And this bird you cannot cha-a-ange!
Born & bred in St. Louis, pal, so screw you and your pedantic uninformed view of the world.
BTW, picked up my masters degree from a college in Indiana so lived there for three years while I completed the program.
Talk about a feral hell - with ZERO islands of prosperity to brag about. Go crawl back into mommy's basement and leave the discussion to the grownups.
Sorry about your butthurt, but the facts are the facts, St. Louis city is exactly that.
Do we even need to go into the crime stats??
(By the way, I worked at Lambert, circa 99-2001)
I feel redeemed.
On another funny note, my sister texted me tonight to ask if I knew how to build a campfire.
I texted her right back and said, “Yell out ‘play Freebird’ and someone will hold up a lighter.
I love it! I’ll probably have to steal that sometime.
That’s almost certainly why. Cardinals ownership is conservative-leaning.
