@Mets let me ask you this. Why don’t you try this for other heritage nights?
Go ahead. Let’s try something like this to honor those of Chinese ancestry, or Mexcian ancestry, or Jewish ancestry or Native American ancestry. Go ahead and dress Mr. Met up with fun holiday related imagery for people of all backgrounds. Do it.
Seriously @mets, ask yourself if you’ll do any of those other caps. And if you won’t, why not? This is all fun, right?
metspolice imagine Mr Met with slanty eyes on Asian American night
.dan_celso I don’t want to retweet the words but yes imagine such a thing. Or google “chief wahoo other races” then look at today’s cap
metspolice sad thing is I know a lot of Irish people who embrace the stereo type
“dan_celso: metspolice sad thing is I know a lot of Irish people who embrace the stereo type” And they deserve the Marge Face
metspolice Mets All an attempt to make $ and every sport does it. All in good fun, not sure what’s so sad about it?
So, we’re going to spend another year whining about an imaginary being (Mr Met) being made up to look like a mythical creature (Leprechaun) as somehow being ethnically insensitive?
No, it’s not the same as slanty eyes, of Chief Wahoo….Leprechauns don’t exist, they are not a “race”.
Mediagoon I think our crappy team is a bigger concern lol
The_GrassyNol yeah but the blog isn’t about what players are on the field
Mediagoon that makes sense. Either way that’s not that bad. Whoever is looking at it.
Another case of the Mets trading a player (Justin Turner) before his promotional giveaway day.

I never knew the Leprechaun was derogatory to Irish people. It’s folklore. I guess you learn something new every day.
metspolice it’s not depicting a person. It’s a fictional leprechaun.
