Rays come under fire for offensive sign

[sneaky_flute]

[Torridd]

I don't get it. Why would he do that?

[Docwaukee]

damn.  that's pretty horrible.

[HaloCory22]

Have a sense of humor, folks. That's funny.

[Lhalo]

First the Marlins piss off the Cubans, now the Rays piss off the Australians. What is with Florida?

[Brian Ilten]

I am with Cory... its funny.  Sick.  But funny.

[Torridd]

How is it funny? Am I missing something?

[gotbeer]

Hahah.  That is great.  Although shouldn't it be Win the World Series?

[Lifetime]

Irwin was killed by a ray attack

[gotbeer]

Think of how Irwin died.

Steve Irwin was killed when a stingray stabbed him through the heart while he was swimming with them.

 

It definitely got a chuckle out of me, then again, I have no problem with dark humor.

[Erick McClendon]

I miss Steve Irwin. Doubt his widow or his son thinks that is funny

doubt they've seen it or care for that matter

[HaloCory22]

What about his daughter, Aggie?

 

What a sexist!

what if a Ranger mascot  made a sign that had a pic Andrew Gallo that said "Our most dedicated fan"

[JAHV76]

How the hell did the Rays security let that sign through the gates? How stupid is the mascot holding it?

That isn't a good example.

Well I would say that a sting ray using its only defense mechanism in the wild on Steve Erwin when he voluntarily seam with them knowing the potential dangers and a repeated drunk driver that's 3 times the legal limit running a red light and taking 2 lives and severely injuring another person and affecting thousands of people are two completely different scenarios. Overreact much?

Best comparison ever.

So a tragedy where someone dies can be made into a comedic marketing ploy depending on the circumstances of how the person died? 

 

Also, trying to infer that I am overreacting from a post on a baseball message board is pretty funny.  That fiber optic camera you planted in my office probably saw me waiving my arms around and stomping my feet.  AHHH!!! LOOK AT ME!!!! I'M CRAZY MAD WITH DISGUST!!!!

What if the Angels had a pic of Josh Hamilton throwing a ball to a fan and a sign that says "Mr. Generous"?

I can appreciate dark humor, but this seems in extremely poor taste. When you're talking about someone being killed, that probably isn't a good topic for a joke.
