A little OT - Bernie the Brewer

we’ll be playing the Milwaukee Root Brewers. The new mascot, Barqie the Root Brewer slides into a mug of cola. And the children of American, nay, THE WORLD are saved.

and wish to emphasize that the team is the BREWERS and they play in MILLER park.

next PC, kid-friendly adaptation: the milwaukee fudge packers to play in candyland.

but thats what it is.

as for mascots….while I’m glad the Cubs don’t have one cause I don’t think they need one, I’m not against mascots and actually like bernie and the racing sausages.

and hope to hell one never appears at the old north side ball yard, this is a tradition for the BrewCrew. This is just another sign of liberal driven political correctness gone awry in this country.

Ya can’t do anything without “offending” someone. Well, you know what PC’ers? If you’re offended by a guy jumping into a hypothetical beer after a home run, then TFB! Don’t go to the ball park, don’t whine to anyone and most of all quit trying to impose your idiotic thinking on others.

I want to bitch-slap these pricks that enact these stupid ideas and ask them if they have a F-ing clue. The team name is BREWERS. They play in a city famous for landing German immigrants, 150 years ago who were BREW-masters. Their ball park is named for one of those BREW-masters, Frederick MILLER.

It’s like the sausage race. Guess what #5 is now. Why is that? PC; and only PC. Catering to a specific group so you “look good and are sensitive”. It’s the same reason why I absolutely refuse to shop at Lowe’s.

“Did you know Milwaukee is the only major American city to ever elect 3 socialist mayors?”

someone to tell you when to cheer?

You nailed it here….

hysterical busybody types who are determined to sanitize all aspects of society to protect the kiddies from unsavory influences

At the end of the day, like all of the over reactions today, elements of total hypocrisy ooze from actions like this.

Like many have mentioned above, they are called the “brewers”. I don’t think many people even link beer and brewers together, kind of like understanding their old M-B mit symbol.

I wish the stadium would add more beer friendly icons. The original poster forgot to mention that Bernie’s old home was a wooden keg, now his home is a stupid little house. They should bring back the keg as well as the beer mug. Also, I always thought it would be cool if over the center field wall they added a huge brew kettle that actually contained real beer. The beer could then be sold by the “brewers” within the stadium. It could be like the Brewers own micro brew. Just a thought, but I definitely agree with the original post.

Stating that Bernie’s slide was set in such a way where halfway through it looks like he’s going to go flying into the crowd. He also kept mentioning that the usually smiling Bernie was looking a little morose during yesterday’s game.

to see Bernie’s original hut and slide. I think it’s still there.

Maybe the dude in the costume didn’t like the foam rubber sopping up whatever cheap swill they filled the mug with and smelling like that all day?

Also, I’m not sure not wanting to encourage children to drink is a strictly “PC/liberal” viewpoint.

They got rid of the mascot altogether in the 80s. He wasn’t there at games in the late 80s that I attended. He came back around the time of the strike cause I recall seeing him for the first time at County Stadium in ‘94. I don’t remember the details of his return – was there a campaign to bring him back?

He mentioned him, and Ron said, “I haven’t thought about him all night…” Then Ronnie pulled out the binoculars and started scanning for Bernie. Pat mentioned, “You may not have been thinking about him, but I’m sure he’s been thinking about you…” Priceless. Pat knows just how to rib Ron. Absolutely priceless. Then he proceeded to describe Bernie as scowling again. (Hopefully that scowl is planted on his huge head again tomorrow!)

And the original poster is correct. Political correctness run amok and the height of hypocrisy. The Milwaukee BREWERS who play in MILLER PARK in BEER CAPITAL USA.
