A game of midget tossing should have broken out.

Left handed people.

My uncle and I discussed rounding them up and putting them in camps.

The ever-expanding field of victimhood.

I want Cracker Barrel to change its name. I’m offended.

According to those interviewed who were students during the 1934-35 school year, the name “Midgets” was given to the FCHS basketball team by a local newspaper sports writer. That year the basketball team had a small team with the tallest player at five feet ten inches tall. He was the center.

The size of the team did not seem to handicap the team since it felt that it could overcome the lack of height with “fast break” tactics. The major difficulty came during this season when the rules called for a center jump after each basket scored. A team which had a player much above six feet tall could control most center jumps and consequently have a considerable offensive advantage.

Not one of those short little punks is a midget. They’re all dwarfs.

Political Correctness is the disease the has infested America and is going to be the terminal disease that kills America. LIFE IS NOT FAIR, GET A HELMET fools.

And by the way, FAIR, is nothing more than a subset of political correctness. The only real place for that word is at the baseball game.

No, I'm not going to say that any louder.

They are not people. I am kinda surprised that they still use the term midget for a mascot. Even the most miserable person sees this as wrong.

Why don’t they go after the exploitation and trafficking by the porn industry or some escort service rather than a yokel HS no one’s heard of?

You know, “Things That Matter”

C’mon Boys & Girls, show everyone how big you are
