Uniform Fan Poll

Okay, I may have been naive in my thinking about marketing ploys. But the thing is, you can buy teal jerseys now if you want.

I guess I just don’t entirely get this angle. Jerseys are expensive. People who buy a lot of jerseys are going to buy new jerseys year to year anyway. These people are going to buy a new jersey next year regardless, maybe now it will be teal.

People with less money probably don’t buy as many jerseys, maybe only one every couple of years. Maybe this year their one jersey will be teal.

You really think this will increase their jersey sales year-over-year? I just don’t get the “this is just to make money off of stupid people” criticism. If you don’t like the jerseys, fine, don’t buy them.

If the team/league creates the item, and its authentically licensed merchandise, how does that make someone “not a big enough fan” for wearing it? It was made by the team/league.

If you were to dive into the statement as a whole and research the origin, discussing it here would not be appropriate.

Due to the reasoning behind adding “Premaritally” to the statement in fact being seen as more derogatory than Bradley’s original statement of “Fuck Eric Wedge”.

Society over time has let go of it’s grip on perceived immoralities based on certain groups views. I do think though that it is within reason to assume that society still sees the word “Premarital” as a degradation of the act of intercourse, thus making premarital copulation viewed as socially worse than copulation in and of itself .

Note that, I do not care one way or the other.

I merely found it a more amusing way to photoshop a fictional (shirted) response to Milton’s apparent view of his old Manager that has now become his apparent last hope at baseball redemption.

Those that have spent years studying it’s origin have general (and one would assume mostly accurate) ideas of where it came from but, no one truly knows for certain.

In English though, in my mind it is the single greatest word in any dictionary. While it is still viewed as socially unacceptable in America & many other countries, in common place settings it can be used in any sentence ever conceived. It can be viewed as any emotion on earth if placed correctly in the statement or sentence.

Think of how many times the word Fuck has been typed into one of these boxes here at LL during a Mariners game alone. I am sure it’s in the tens of thousands. In many cases it was intended to have a slightly different meaning than the person just before meant when they typed it, even if in response to the same play.

All depending on what word sat before or after it.

The word in its most literal meaning, refers to the act of sexual intercourse. I have never read anything on it that might suggest that it once meant “With out Consent” or “Rape”. Most dictionaries reference Germanic when giving an etymology for the word, all of which relate to intercourse, a prelude to intercourse or the essential equipment necessary to have intercourse.

Personally I use it abundantly while being entertained by the sports teams I follow, normally in reference to their lack of talent, some specifically amazing play or the officiating seemingly favoring the opponent at the time.
