Hipster Panther [& other NFL logos]

I have celiac disease so I think the gluten reference in the Bucs logo is in really poor taste...  

 

 

No its not. My cousin's husband has the same disease. Its unfortunate, but the whole 'Gluten' thing is the new fad that the health nuts have taken to, which is why 'gluten free, gluten free!!!' is so annoying and why that logo isn't offensive. Its a play on the overhyped 'anti gluten' propaganda the health food industry is trying to promote. It has nothing to do with Celiac Disease.

I get your point... but as a general rule it's poor taste to joke about something that "kills" when it actually does kill people.

 

I'd imagine the person who created this logo thinking it was cute or funny is probably too ignorant to realize that gluten does in fact kill. If that person had a child or a loved one who was killed by gluten they probably wouldn't think this was cute or funny anymore. 

 

Like I said, when I was a child gluten nearly cost me my life and in the meantime I suffered terribly. It caused constant pain that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It was only by some miracle that my mom found a pediatrician who had seen it before (this was in the 1970's). 

 

The diet fad annoys me as well, because you can no longer tell whether something on a menu is actually gluten free or only mostly gluten free (which doesn't count when you have celiac). 

 

Anyhow, everyone has the right to think whatever they want about this - including me - and personally I find it to be in really poor taste... it only serves to demonstrate the ignorance of the person that created it.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
