MafiaMan Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Hey Hey! Ho Ho! Racist names like 'Pork Chop' have got to go! Like I said in an earlier thread, we're a nation ruled by a minority of one. Quote
PCM Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 All I can say is... Wow. I'm more offended by the name "IronPigs" than I am by "Pork Chop." I once broke a tooth while eating a pork chop made from an iron pig. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I got 3 words for you: PA-THE-TIC. This is why I choose to live here in the state of ND where political correctness is not real prevelent...especially when it comes to nicknames, logos and such Quote
ScottM Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I'm sure fat people would disagree that "Pork Chop" is offensive ... Quote
siouxjoy Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 So is it good or bad that I didn't know that "pork chop" was derogatory? Quote
dagies Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 So is it good or bad that I didn't know that "pork chop" was derogatory? I don't know, but you and I can find that out together. Quote
DamStrait Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Am I missing something? Why did some hispanics find "Pork Chop" offensive? Quote
Sioux-cia Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Guess I'm the wrong kind of Hispanic because I have no clue as to why Pork Chop is offensive to Hispanics. I wonder if the guy who was called Pork Chop and whose parents would have fits about the name are/were obese? Quote
Chief Illiniwek Supporter Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 First: There was a guy who posted this summer that you needed to get rid of the Sioux nickname and find something nice and neutral, something everyone could get behind. He informed us that both he AND his classmates had come to that conclusion (presumably for the benefit of those of us who just couldn't "see the light" the way they could). Has that poster seen this thread??? Next: Am I missing something? Why did some hispanics find "Pork Chop" offensive? I think Pork Chop Womack plays for the Seattle Seahawks. Thankfully, he was thru with college football before everyone in the NCAA realized just how offensive "Pork Chop" really is. (And ironically, IIRC Mr. Womack played at Florida State.) Finally, do the various grocery stores need to apologize for advertising a sale on this "hostile and abusive" product? Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 4, 2007 Author Posted December 4, 2007 I don't know, but you and I can find that out together. Not that there's anything wrong with that! Quote
siouxjoy Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Not that there's anything wrong with that! I'm a girl... Quote
The Sicatoka Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I figured Muslims, maybe Al Queda, would be protesting "Pork Chop". Quote
Oxbow6 Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Pretty soon we'll read about a book burning of Moby-Dick because some guy named Richard is offened by the title. Maybe it's just me, but when you meet a Richard, who prefers to be called Dick, why is he usually a dick?? Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 4, 2007 Author Posted December 4, 2007 I'm a girl... Not that there's anything wrong with that either! Quote
dagies Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I'm a girl... There AIN'T nothin' wrong with THAT! Quote
Chief Illiniwek Supporter Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 There AIN'T nothin' wrong with THAT! Unless you really, really, really believe that you're a man born in a woman's body: trapped, waiting to save up enough to have the operation, but in the meantime dressing and acting as a man.... Please, lets not discriminate against that group!!! Quote
Sioux-cia Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Careful what you call a male younger than you are, http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7526090 "The refs called me a boy," Rolle said, according to a transcript of postgame comments provided to the media by the Ravens. "No. 110 called me a boy." Oh, boy.. I mean, Oh brother, no, I mean, Holy Cow, no, I meant to say, Gee whizz!! *I hope there isn't a urologist in the room.* Quote
GF_siouxfan Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 wow was i excited for that game.. one of the more emotional games ive seen ***im editing this cuz i just thought of something. during the 30 minute break they had during the game it was like they werent in the middle of the game. if the waterboys wouldve brought some snacks out thr it wouldve topped it off. Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 6, 2007 Author Posted December 6, 2007 "In a game of this magnitude, you don't make that kind of call," Rolle said. "Let the players decide the outcome of the game. You can crown them champions now. I'm not taking anything away from them. They are a great team. They're not asking the refs to help them, but it's just an empty feeling." Apparently, if you want to crown their asses, then you can crown 'em! Quote
Godsmack Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Someone ought to send Guillermo Lopez to sensitivity training himself because of his use of the word "fit." For someone who appears to be so sensitive to words as he is, he should know that this word can be deemed offensive by people suffering from epilepsy. I am not trying to be cute here as I know people with epilepsy and they do not like it when this word is used in a slang manner. My point is, the finger can be pointed right back at Mr. Lopez as someone being offensive and insensitive just as he has accused the baseball organization of doing the same. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 The person formerly known as "Pork Chop" needs to take note of Denis Leary .... [about people who complain that their lives haven't turned out the way they wanted] Denis Leary: "Hey, join the ******* club! I thought I was going to be the starting center fielder for the Boston Red Sox! Life sucks, get a ******* helmet!" Quote
