do you think that is funny? i was in academy sports store and read that t shirt as i was going up to counter to check out. i got irate. really, irate. i hate that i responded so aggressively and angrily to a stupid tshirt, but i did. i told cashier with a woman cashing out how STUPID that tshirt was. he said being a football player he thought it was funny. i told him promoting violence wasn't funny to me. teaching our children to laugh at hitting a smart kid wasn't funny to me. then i saw a manager working with customers and interrupted letting her know how offensive the tshirt was. males embracing stupid. be proud of stupid.

the more and more i thought about it, the angrier i became.

went into another store and asked cashiers. one (young) thought funny, the older woman just shook her head. but then she has a daughter teaching 5th grade in a school, seeing all the issues.

went to hastings to buy a book for myself and son.... the one that has a very high GPA and in 7th grade took the SAT beating 60% of high school seniors taking the test...... and asked three guys... all X football players. they thought it was funny too. playing football seems to have something to do with this "joke". all the males that thought it was funny equated to football some way.

in the car with sons, telling them how all thought was funny were working as cashiers making minimum wage where as the person with the high GPA had the professional job. ha ha.... isn't that funny. add on to that little tshirt.

my husband just got home and i asked if he thought it was funny. no smile, no giggle, i watched. first out of mouth was "trash".

he is also one with a masters and doesn't see his manhood in beating someone up.

i am in the panhandle of texas. the manly man. where many equate being a man to being able to fight. that being a man is fox news watching. war. i feel the tshirt is the embracing of the violence and disrespect so prevalent in our society today. and that people thinking it is funny are feeding the beast

i also feel that those that think it funny would also be shaking their heads at the school shootings, the anger on anger rage on rage killings over nothing..... wondering what is coming of the world today totally clueless that this very comment and seeing it as funny, and lighten up is a part of it all.

i generally don't get so angry at this stuff. i generally shrug it off. but this one, in this area really bothered me.



UPDATE: listening to people on this thread i am seeing it thru the "honor roll" stickers and their obnoxiousness there is an element of humor.... so can see how there is a laugh, if that is what is front in mind

for a parent that has sons in school and the bullying factor, the agressiveness of the males in my area in face at all times, and the obnoxiousness of the manly man republican fox watching male, the humor may not be so visible.

Sounds like someone has some panty-waist kiddies who have no chance of playing football and likely are picked on by the bigger tougher kids.  It is just a freaking t-shirt.  Now had that shirt said something bashing a Christian she would have applauded it.

So how does it feel to know that someone's kid in the heart of america has blood on their hands to defend your rights so you can maintain a lifestyle that insults his family's existence?

I remember seabeyond from another forum. . . <snerk> If I were an honor student, I wouldn't want her defending me. . .and me thinks she needs to freaking relax. . .what's the problem with "real men" anyway...or a sense of humor for that matter?
