Bluegrassrivals

My experience is I associated Red Man chewing tobacco with Green Skin. I was sick for two days after chewing that stuff

Birdman I'll assume that this isn't your chaw of choice.

I'm a Beechnut guy. There was a Beechnut Peach flavor that was really good.

Haven't done that stuff in like 8 years probably. Nowadays more Big League Chew.

And again its only the Washington Redskins that bother me.
More because of the double standard than anything else.

What about the high schools that use the mascot Midgets? Surely, that has to be offensive to a small segment of the population.

Just had to throw this in to show with only 3 teams as rabbits, shouldn't Rabbits Lives Matters as well. lolhttp://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more-spo...e#image=18

Rabbits are tasty! I would rather have a predator for a mascot than the prey.

The term PC is thrown up as a wall when you want to invalidate someones feelings based on your own feelings and beliefs. The heart of the matter is that in this conversation if a single person says this is offensive, then guess what it is offensive. No one person gets to decide what is offensive and what is not to another person.

And before I get slammed for the above comment, I do not find any of them personally offensive, my favorite baseball teams mascot is named Chief Wahoo. Just because I support that does not mean I have the right to invalidate the feelings of those who do not.

Smh. My brother and I are nothing alike.

Gotta put your big girl panties on. Redskins may be a little much, but protesting "Indians" and "Braves" is just making a stink for attention and crying "I'm offended" - lots of things offend me. It offends me when people like Thomcat make fun of the Browns... Unfortunately this is real life and "feelings" will be okay.

Offended people over issues like this need to grow a pair!!

What about the Coachella Valley Arabs? Or teams whose mascot is the Midgets?

That would be awesome.
