@FlakJack: The problem is, the cheerleader is still in high school, and the mustangs are 52 in horse years. On a positive note, the mustang on the right was just extradited from Switzerland.
Why would they be blaming or trying to contact the football coach? Do they know if he had anything to do with it? Do they know if any football player created the shirt? Maybe these broads are too quick to get emotional and upset and too slow to think and get some facts first.
@sir_pantsalot: If only we could go over there and say something to that effect, but many a Deadspinner has wandered over to Jezebel and never come back. Or when he does come back, he ain't right any more.
To be honest, as tasteless as these shirts are, I don't think they're particularly rare -- when our annual "rivalry" game was on the horizon, similar t-shirts were invariably being sold out of a junior's car in the school's parking lot.
Would I prefer that this sort of thing didn't go on, because they make high school sports teams, and those people that participate in them look like goons? Sure. But as far as I'm aware, "underground" t-shirts like this are all but standard at high schools and with football teams across the country, and have been for some time.
Every year, some kid would sell something like this, a teacher would get their hands on one, confiscate the rest while wagging their finger sternly, and that was the end of it. Those who bought their shirts before the seizure would wear them, and without any consequences.
Then again, I went to an overly permissive prep school, so the teachers there were probably just happy no one was doing lines of coke off of books in the library.
@ithacabaron: For what it's worth, I'm not saying that I approve of the shirt -- I most certainly don't.
I'm just wondering why, knowing how prevalent these things are, that this shirt, here and now, of all the others made at all the schools over the years, is suddenly creating such an uproar.

Of course it isn't. Bissinger designs all of Memorial's shirts.

Exactly. I still have the t-shirt from my high school grad stag, which had pictures of a viking fucking all sorts of strange and magical things.

I don't know where she learned how to high-five but I'm betting it is somehow related to her daddy issues.
