Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

Today all 30 MLB (major league baseball) unveiled their new batting practice hats. They were all well received by fans...except one. The Atlanta Braves hat features the "Screaming Red Indian" logo that they used while they were in Milwaukee. The logo was dropped because some people were angry about it. Now in a bold move the Braves brought it back.

This has caused outrage by fans and Native American rights groups. They claim that this hat is racist. source. I am getting so sick and tired of the amount of Political correctness that we must now follow in today's society. There is nothing racist about the hat it is just an old team logo.

One athlete tweeted that they might as well put a logo with the picture of a blanket with small pox on it (source pending). So flood, what are your thoughts on this issue?

How is that racist in any way? The people who take offense and say that it is racist are being racist.

I know my ways. So just stay back.

I'm part Native American, and I think they are being kind of ridicules. I would still drop the logo though. It looks pretty stupid.

How is that any worse than the Indians' logo?

He's right. These caps are just for practice. And that is, indeed, the old Braves logo from a long time ago.

They should get rid of the logo because it looks stupid.

It's kind of dumb. There's nothing that doesn't offend someone.

Oh please. It would have been racist if the Indian was getting drunk.
