Is anybody gonna actually post the picture??? There’s literally nothing around the dolls neck lol. Just another example of whiny people with too much time on their hands looking for a reason to be upset.

I think we need to be better than that

Agreed....totally.

Lol.  He's not hanging.  He's suspended by his back.  It's a gosh darn joke and not in any way meant to invoke lynching. Christ. The level of outrage farming and pearl clutching today is nearly unbearable.

Hanging a frog is just awful.  Where is PETA when we need them. 
 

Why couldn’t they do something tasteful like this:

 

 

"whoa nelly"

[muppy]

I don't have time to be upset about stupid chit like this.  Kind of funny. BUT hanging creeps me the **** out

 

That vampire soap opera "Dark Shadows" scarred me for life when they enacted a witch execution. NOT A FAN

 

c r e e p y but I'm not mad.

Just an exercise:

 

How else can someone show their displeasure to a large audience in a large open area.  Why overthink this?  I am not sugar coating it either... Just looking at it from a practical standpoint. 

 

Effigy is the 1700s way of SocialMedia. 

 

Maybe it was a piñata 🪅?

Reports of fake outrage are being met worldwide with fake outrage!

If they lowered it and had blindfolded kids beat it w/a broomstick, would Smarties fall out of it?

[SoonerBillsFan]

Don't care.

[ExiledInIllinois]

Just beat them in playoffs and they can't say sh... 🤷

What is the intended joke? How did you tie the rope to his back?

For me, it's a way to intimidate/make the Chiefs know we hate them here.

We walked around Abbott Road one year during heavy traffic with a giant sign that said "Honk if you HATE Brady". 

Even the cops were blaring their horns.

I realize Patrick is mixed, therefore it crosses over into a racial debate.

Maybe something other than hanging him would've sent the same message? 

Beheading? Idk. Drunk people do offensive *****. I'm not sure what the solution is. 

 

I think the solution involves sensitivity trainings on how to hang and burn effigies in a respectful way.  One that is both intimidating and communicates to the opposition that violence may occur BUT assures them that its not based on race, gender, or sexuality.

It does make me wonder how pressure forced the Indians & Redskins to change their names, but the chop is still going strong at Braves & Chiefs game along with their teams nicknames. 

[TheFunPolice]

I don't like it. Mostly because of the symbolism and history.

 

I will say that I also cringe a bit when I hear chiefs fans doing the chant and the tomahawk chop.

So hanging a black man in effigy with a sailor's hitch is cool then?

Is the type of knot really a thing?

 

Just reading through so far, the knot kind of does matter, because it changes  the situation from "Lynching a Black Man in Effigy" to "tied up a stuffed frog on a stick".

 

Also, the perpetrators clearly NOT being racially motivated should change this convo from "hey did something messed up happen in our name that we must snuff out" to "why does the media always do this, and how can we make them stop"

 

IMO

 

P.S. - there are much better ways to troll a rival. Very weak. We all know he has a funny voice.
