Some Indians Fans Wore Red-face to the Wild Card Game

I'm with the SP here. On the realm of things to get upset about, fans dressing themselves as the official MLB-sanctioned logo would seem to be far, far, far lower on the offensiveness scale than the fact that such a logo exists at all.

And frankly, the reason black-face is usually considered offensive is because of the cultural and historical baggage affiliated with it. There may be such baggage associated with "red-face" (I don't know), but somehow I doubt it's as prevalent.

 

they're still shitty

 

I love watching GIFs like this and imagining the dude jogging in front is running laps around Section 216, for all eternity, just for our amusement.

 

Cross them off, then!

 

who are 3 people that have never been in my kitchen?

 

I wonder if they're red-faced about the outrage.

 

Dan Snyder is sending his jet.

 

White people don't get to decide who should be offended or not offended.

 

You're right, as long as you're OK with the following hypothetical sentence.

"I understand that you may be/are offended by X. I hope, in turn, that you understand that I don't give a shit that you may be/are offended by X."

In other words, a white person cannot tell a Native American he shouldn't be offended by the Indians' logo. That same white person, however, should not be prevented from wearing an Indians logo if he so chooses.

 

Sure. But it should in no way be officially sanctioned. Not anymore.
