Citizen complaint of the day: Has the Indians' plane left yet?

First, I don't think that post was defending the racist comments. I think they were commenting on how the mascot of the baseball team from Cleveland could be perceived as just as racially insensitive as say the NFL's football team from Washington D.C..

Two, if you want to claim that you are from Boston then you need to recognize that people outside your circle of family and friends, are going to associate you with the sports teams here as well as the politicians, the weather, the drivers, the clam chowdah, Dunkin Donuts and all the other stereotypes of Mass. So while you can claim to be a holier than thou Broncos fan, who by the way also supposedly cheated en route to a Super Bowl in the 2004 Salary Cap Skirting or cheated with Mike Shanahan hiring lip readers in 2002, you are going to be connected to the Patriots because you live in Boston. Therefore, by challenging people online about how they are racist from Boston, you are implicating that you too are also racist because YOU ARE FROM Boston. Your condo/home/brownstone/apartment in Southie may be what you want to perceive as a "new and improved" but it is still Boston. This kind of discourse does not seem to be helping us move Boston forward, only trapping it in the past.

Three, if you want it to be a "new and improved" Boston, then why are you antagonizing people around sports? I feel like that is THE classic, old-school Boston thing to do to someone. "Oh yeah pal, well Yankees SUCK!" comes to mind. So the tactic you have chosen does not feel "new and improved" at all. It feels rather lazy and weak.

Other than that, I honestly do appreciate the fact that you are consistent contributor to the conversations on Uhub.
