In a GoFundMe message published yesterday, David Allen said he got the tattoo when he was 18 years old, during the height of the Cleveland Indians hysteria in the 1990s. He now regrets the decision, he said, calling the tattoo “racist and obscene” and a “travesty.”
“As a dumb 18-year-old, I had no idea the logo represented a white man’s twisted view of a Native American,” Allen wrote. “Little did I know this was would turn out to be worse than a tramp stamp. I have lived in shame both from the worry of offending someone and from embarrassing Indians play over the years. I’ve had enough. Help me right this wrong by donating a few bucks that will put towards removing this travesty from my body once and for all.”

As it says in the Bible, if your limb offends you, cut it off. But leave Chief Wahoo alone.
Wow. Isn’t that the way of the left? Find hate where it doesn’t exist and then don’t work to pay for your counterproductive agenda.
Wouldn’t give you a nickel, pal, unless you agreed to get a Cub logo on your other arm.
And Marky, you’re a real douchebag…
