I love the Cleveland Indians and Washington Red Skins.....Chief Wahoo FTW.

Don't know why you were confused, you melted about a supposedly "lib" position.  Snowflakes melt.

I'm not sure I'd call that a melt...is that how you perceive dissenting viewpoints?

I remember a time when not every topic, every forum, every conversation was a proxy for politics and political opinions.  Un-fukkin-avoidable these days.

I agree.

Maybe putting an end to what has already been a very tame yellow jacket season in these parts.  Relative to normal at least. 

Same down here, they were brutal last year.

Very true...I usually don't do that, so my bad there.

No, it's not a full blown melt and I don't have an issue with dissenting viewpoints.  But it's a pretty minor issue and progressives get called that any time they express an opinion on perceived slights.  So, it is funny to see a conservative get upset at something so minor.

Yea, a bit of irony...I get it. I don't lose sleep over it....if I'm being honest, I can see the issue with celebrating Colombus given the history there, even Redskins given the racial connotation, but I have no idea what was wrong with the "Indians".....I'm Irish, and couldn't give a rat's a$$ about the "Fighting Irish" having a bit of a drunken, pugilist connotation there. I appreciate the humor.

I don't have an issue with any of those things either.  But I don't lose any sleep over it and I certainly don't get mad about it like some people do.
