Right, they’re willing to walk away from untold $$$ to help children, “for the children.” Makes perfect sense. :/
But then, I'd be inclined to tell the hospital, 'no, have the courage of your convictions' and see if they actually will give up the 4.5 million.
Change it to Raccoon Hunt? Who’s talking about raccoons?
/sarc
Oh man, this thing’s gonna get out of hand; I just KNOW it!
Putting St. Jude on a hospital offends me as I am Catholic and St, Jude would be really ticked off in heaven right now. It’s anti-catholic to be so dang ignorant!
St Jude is a great organization, but I'd tell them don't worry about the name...we'll just give the money to the Shriners Hospital for Children.
Good grief. The forest behind the house is full of coon hunters in season Their dogs usually tree a few too. This is just plain stupidity !
Political Correctness has many down sides.
St. Jude is racist, assuming that the obvious nick-name of an animal has anything to do with race.
Will they ask hunters to not use any guns that are black?
Will the name ‘St. Jude’ be replaced? It just isn’t inclusive enough of all religions on the entire planet.
How about the word ‘hunt’? Very micro-aggressive, probably a dog-whistle, or something.
And then the money. Will they be donating a percentage to the DNC, Sierra Club, and the HRC campaign? If not it’d be waysis.
Oh, and these persons hunting. Probably a bunch of white conservatives. Will they ensure every possible combination of race, gender (insert alphabet here), faith (or no faith), and dietary preference is represented???
Maybe they should just cancel the whole thing.
This is ridiculous.
we are getting to see the country go insane and it all feels like slow motion.
that has to reverse course.
No kidding
The term coon is old school
Archaic
Most folks don’t associate it with negroes anymore
I can only imagine St Jude’s is now influenced by where it sits more than ever
It’s walled and gated like a fortification
I wonder why they never moved out to Germantown or Collierville
Or Nashville which is also centrally located
If I were the coon hunters I’d just ask someone else
Pity
Decator should give the money to another worthy group, screw St. Jude.
Screw St Jude
The word coon is a corruption of raccoon that has become a colloquialism referring to a specific species of animals. It appears that someone at St. Jude's is seeing racism where it doesn't exist.
Must have found out that the 'hunt' was going to use firearms. And they know the only reason someone would buy a firearm would be to shoot up a school. So hunting needs to be banned at the former coon hunt.
At this point, I'd find some other group that was willing to take my donation.
It’s funny but just when you think some archaic (and in this case ridiculous) racial slur is about to pass from our collective memory, the Left miraculously resurrects it . . . for a noble cause, of course.
If they want to ban racially sensitive terminology like "coon", I want the libs to stop using the word "slave". We haven't had slaves since the middle of the 1860s, it's an obsolete term that I find "offensive", so stop throwing up in everybody's faces.
I’m very disappointed. This is one of the charities that we donate to yearly.
