I’m not saying the shirt’s creator or the people selling it should be drawn and quartered, but someone should get in their faces and let them know that what they’re doing is wrong.

The inherent worth and dignity of every person, one can extend that as a growing 21st conscience as all living things and maybe the 22nd century will develop the conscience of all things in the universe.

The only way humor can be derived from this is making fun of the inherent bias as a slight. The slight of course are the “slanted eyes” as in exaggerated American Actors doing “Charlie Chan” or “Mr. Moto”, then with followed with the take on inability to pronounce properly the English phenoms….

This shirt does not elevate with dignity and worth it degrades the buyer, the seller and the Cubs. Ignorance come is all forms and learning from it is sometimes a tough journey, for the underlying message is WHITE AMERICAN SUPREMACY…..

I don’t know why you should feel shame for something you did not help to create or sell or purchase yourself. You’ve done nothing to propagate its existence or distribution. It’s certainly offensive, but in reality there’s little public outrage is going to do but make more people aware that the shirt is available. Maybe, if enough people get upset, the shirt won’t be sold on the street anymore, but then there’s always the internet.

that a shirt addressing an individual versus a 3rd party is a bit different. But i often times think that people look too hard to find some type of hidden agenda in a shirt.. such as “White Supremacy”?? I look at the big picture…

Cubs fans our celebrating Fukudome right now. He’s an exciting player that makes you say “holy cow!” all over again. I always look past the details and just try to see the big picture of what people are really trying to say. Even if they say it in a dumb, low-brow way.

The one that has the mock Old Style logo that says Cub Style. I thought that was kinda cool. However, I hate the “Win or lose we still booze” (aka we dont care about the game as long as we drink ourselves out of the place) “Shut up and drink your beer!” as well as the ones degrading the Cardinals, Packers, White Sox and the Cell. I mean seriously, would you rather get a cool shirt FOR THE TEAM YOU ROOT FOR or waste $10 on a shirt with a bad mock up of the Cell scoreboard that says “US Cell Out Field”? Come on. Stupid crap.

For one thing, all ballplayers from other countries DO learn English. Some speak it better than others. Sosa speaks English quite well. 40 seconds’ worth of Spanish shouldn’t have been a problem.

Let’s end this discussion right here before it gets political. Thanks.

I have a hard time understanding how you say that, even if you read every interview he’s ever given, you wouldn’t know anything about him.

Sure, you wouldn’t be as intimate with him as a personal friend or relative,but one can surely learn something about a person from reading (and listening to) their public statements. I don’t know Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens or Greg Maddux either, but I have a pretty damn good idea which one I’d like to hang out with and, more important, which one I have respect for. (There’s that word again.)

Moreover, I thought Dome expressed himself rather well. He’s not going to embarass himself by getting overdramatic about the situation, but he made it very clear that: a) He is offended, and b) The t-shirt should go away.
