I just don't think it is a good title...same if I had a title called BLACKS....simply not a good title in my opinion!! I don't want to make a fight about it to me it is just a bad title. I find it offensive and I am not even Jewish!! Post # 8 Last edited by Zone91; 06-09-2013 at 07:33 PM.

Not offensive at all. I've used similar ebay titles in my listings to help sales, not sure that it helps any, though.
 I agree with Jay. Ryan Braun is not Jewish. He was raised Catholic as is his mother's religion. Many of the so called current Jewish players are not raised Jewish. Those players have a very small Jewish heritage that they then mention when the media asks them. But they do not consider themselves Jewish. The seller is way too high for this lot. Definitely not worth what he is selling it for.

To describe someone as black, white, or Hispanic is standard usage (law enforcement, news media, demographic data, etc.) and not offensive unless mixed in with other slurs. But I did find this in the Wikipedia page: According to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition (2000): It is widely recognized that the attributive use of the noun Jew, in phrases such as Jew lawyer or Jew ethics, is both vulgar and highly offensive. In such contexts Jewish is the only acceptable possibility. Some people, however, have become so wary of this construction that they have extended the stigma to any use of Jew as a noun, a practice that carries risks of its own. In a sentence such as There are now several Jews on the council, which is unobjectionable, the substitution of a circumlocution like Jewish people or persons of Jewish background may in itself cause offense for seeming to imply that Jew has a negative connotation when used as a noun.[22]So if you were to say, "Jew card collector", it may be offensive to some.

Spin it
You guys can spin it anyway you want. Definitions, explanations, points of view and so on. In my opinion it's in bad taste. It was not meant that that way but it surely could of been edited to read different and then this thread would be over. Pretty simple. "Jewish player collectors". I would never start a thread as Blacks or Christians. Maybe it's because of things I've dealt with while growing to my ripe old age. Doesn't really matter because everyone has their trials and tribulations. I guess Leon sees a reason to let this go on. Continue on...

First, the price is outrageous...
Second, the title of thread is completely fine in my opinion. Being Jewish myself, having seen hate crimes first hand, and running the diversity program from my little school district, a title to a thread just stating "Jews" is completely fine with me as long as the content is appropriate. If the title was Jews and the content was how to bbq them...then I would be upset. But it was not, it was just the word with an ebay auction that used the word in the same way. To promote something. Just my thoughts... Joshua PS...I too have seen mormon, Jew, lutheran, and even born-again in ebay titles to hit specific searches.

Was going to start another thread,
but there is still some room on this one. Any bros from Vilnius on the Board may be interested in this listing.
