Is this a blind team, trolled by the uniform vendor, or a dumb team, coached by liberals?

If they are that offended by persons different from themselves, basketball might not have been an appropriate sport for them to pursue.

A bunch of giggling pimple faced adolescents playing around with, hee hee, silly naughty words. And the uniform vendors were poker faced.
So make them fix the garments. Out of their allowances. And write 100 times on the blackboard “No more dirty word pranks.”

That. And, coaches, parents, refs, and other league officials.
Nothing happened until their 4th game.

Still. Why can’t the black teams go around wearing “cracker” on their jerseys. Etc. Some people are so grim that a good laugh might be the only cure.

Where/when did I say their 1A rights were “violated”?
AFAIK, the printing or use of specific terms or words is not illegal anywhere in the US. Societal acceptability of the same is simply a local construct.

Fair enough. What did you mean in post 13?

7th to 12th grade, maybe...a team for kids who didn’t make the school teams.

Honestly, folks. It is offensive, regardless of race, color, or creed.

The only place I’ve seen the term “knee grow” is here in FR. I think that the team just might be influenced by some FR denizens having a little fun tweaking the collective noses of the locals; especially with the cooperation of the (obviously all-white) team members. I say, let’s check in on the melanin content of the complainers; bet they are all caucasian who are proxy-offended.
It seems to me that the uniforms were all in good fun and a fine exercise of the 1A.
