Default Politically Incorrect Sports Related Article at Forbes.com

I am not sure if this has been discussed but if so, apologies in advance.
A recent article at Forbes addresses some political incorrectness in our collectibles. He even used a postcard and quote from our board. It's nicely done article, imo.

Is there a paywall on Forbes? Everytime I try to go there (not just this link) it goes into a redirect and doesn't load anything.

Anti ad-block.

The irony is that when you get there it inundates you with annoying pop up ads making one want to install ad-block.

I don't know if this makes it any less "politically incorrect" but the postcard and the other versions of this card (I have a small 1" x 2.5" or so version) are from an actor/actress set of cards and Jim Thorpe wasn't just dressed up in Native American attire for pure exploitation, he was actually playing a Native American chief in a movie with Tom Mix called "My Pal, The King" in 1932. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Here is the "mini" version of the Thorpe, which I have found to be a bit tougher than the postcard sized ones, these originally came with a little coupon like thing attached at bottom (rarely found that way today)...
