Ignorant hypocritical white people lose their **** over a shirt
 

Here's a picture of the shirt in question.



And here's a example of the Cleveland Indian's logo.



I think it's a brilliant shirt, these same people who are complaining are perfectly fine with reducing an ethnicity to a mascot and having teams named after a derogatory term to describe said ethnicity yet they'll act like they're the victims of some great injustice (which they're fine with when it's affecting any other ethnicity bar their own) when someone parodies that attitude with a shirt design.

A mess,

probs better to focus on the whole gun thing than a logo

his choice

There's nothing anyone will be able to do about the US's gun laws. There's too much money in it and few politicians will willingly piss off the NRA. Plus people can care about more than one issue at once.

There's more he can do about this issue by highlighting it.

Yes debated alot on the Daily Show
ComedyHD

He was booked on a show for another reason, i cant be bothered with folk like him high jacking tv to run their own agenda.

One of the most common anti-shirt responses has been along the lines of, “What would happen if Mike Greenberg wore an ‘African-Americans’ shirt on-air?”

Wow, talk about missing the point.

Every Celeb in the world hijacks Media outlets with their own agendas, it can be on TV Shows, Video Games, Movies, Theatre, News, you name it Celebs will do it, and some of it you will agree with, others you won't.

I personally think that maybe the word Indians should be trying to get a different meaning amongst the Native Americans, like how black people are doing it with the N word so that one day our future generations can use these words without thinking back to these days of where the words are seen as prejudiced.

Btw I honestly don't get why people are moaning about him pointing out that the name and logo is a bit dodgy? Imo the team should either change the logo, or change it's name.

A typical African-american reply TS.:bored:

Can someone please enlighten this numbnuts as to just WTF this thread is about?:shrug:

Finely vintaged cheddar.

Ahhh... NOW it makes sense. Thank you T.S.

They asked him to remove the shirt and he refused, when asked about the shirt once and he replied 'it was clean' why didn't they then leave it alone? if they didn't want it to be the focus of the interview why press him on it further?
I feel his reasoning is justified.

Not really Mock, they trade their appearance with plugs for what they are selling. Its a trade. He just did not play the game. If he feels so strongly then run for politics or contact his senator. He is just being an uppity twat imo

How would that help anything? It's a corporate issue, not a political one. He can't just get elected and tell the team to change their logo. He can only highlight the issue and hope that pressure builds on the team to make the logo a thing of the past. You don't need a political career to do that.

Why can't people make a statement without being elected? There are many more platforms than just politics to make a stand about something and he's got the right to do it whether you like it or not.

I am sure the team do not care about this guy and his shirt and some mild twitter tutting

Then what's the issue he wishes to make his opinion known, the station gave him a platform to do it ...what's the problem?

they didnt

Well obviously they did...hence this thread.

no he hijacked their hospitality

It was their choice to air the interview, nobody had a gun to their heads did they?

to be honest it was a pathetic bid to sell the shirts and inevitably thats is what they did to mug punters

idgi, does 'Caucasians' mean something other than white people?

americans are race obsessed so probably

tbh, it looks like a small jab at white people to me... but it's just a shirt and its been designed to cause controversy and i just dont really care that much when nothing will happen about it anyway
