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.

Not Jewish but thought the title was a little inflammatory. As for 'Negro League', we're talking about the LEAGUE, not a specific person as such. Not an apples to apples comparison. And the cards in the offending auction are overpriced by about 800%

Hi, I'm the OP, I did not mean any offense in the least. My best friend is Jewish, he actually attended Catholic school with me as a kid. Talk about a conundrum for him, but his parents wanted to send him to the best school around.
Anyhow just wanted people to see the Ebay item and stir the pot a lil' on here, I love good threads. Hello Leon.

Negro League is a proper term, not a pejorative phrase. It has no secondary meaning. The museum is called the "Negro Leagues Baseball Museum" and the players association is called the "Negro League Baseball Players Association"; nothing pejorative there. In contrast, the term "Jew" without more, as pointed out above, has been used a pejorative manner: "Jew lawyer" "Jew someone down" in a negotiation, etc. The polite term is "Jewish"; I do not know of any Jewish organization that uses the phrase "Jew" rather than "Jewish" in its name. IMO the OP was trying to grab some attention by using it.

Like many Board Members, I'm not sure whether to be offended by the title of this thread, but it most definitely got my attention.
However, the one thing that most (if not all) of us do agree on, is that the price of this item is outrageous
