OT.Politically correct has taken a new low.Big Papi doll.

The "big lip" version seems fine to me. The "black face/minstrel" one I can see the issue.

Did they have a problem with the former, tried to correct it, with the latter being the result and then decided to scrap the whole thing?
 
As per the PC'ness of this, and the title of this post, is this really a new low here? Is this really something that irks you?

PC sentiment certainly goes overboard at times, as does anti PC sentiment.

Lol, I think when it gets down to a bobble head doll, then yes, it's a new low.
 
Regarding the anti-PC aspect of some of the comments in this thread and from the OP.

When did the majority race decide that they have the right to determine what any other group feels is racially insensitive towards them ?

When did they become the arbitrator of feelings ?? Maybe it's just arrogance.
Ya. I know the Boston higher up officially canned it, but what if Pappi or whomever was like, "WTF"?

I think the idea exposed above that, "it's only a toy thus who cares" shows a level of ignorance as well. As if it's OK to piss off people as long as it's in the form of a small plastic object.

Too deep for me, I merely started a thread on how PC has gotten down to bobble head dolls. Any wonder wonder why nothing gets done in Congress or in our streets fighting crime?

The President of the club made a decision. No PC here. You just made something out of nothing. You know exactly why he didn't like it? When the person in charge doesn't like the way a product looks then he has the right to change it.

Have you noticed that no one agrees with you? You've been watching too much Fox TV.

Yeah this bobble head doll scandal is akin to street crime.

C'mon man!!!!
It's Floods fault and they should sell those bobble heads at Xanadu in the space next to the Zoffinger statue that should be placed there once the cost reaches One Billion Dollars

I believe there were posters who agreed, but you choose to ignore them.Go back to page 1 and check genius.

It's not " big lip"....it's normal lip. Unless you have some other idea of what's a normal lip.

This pretty much sums it up.

I put the quotations there for a reason. Part of the reason I said it as such was I was not sure if that version of the bobble head was banned as well.

But to go against the PC grain here, normal lip ='s average sized lip? Are the lips on the Ortiz bobble head larger then the lip on the average bobble head? Is it insensitive to say that?
 
I think the second version was terrible and the Red Sox not distributing made sense.

But the statement that "if one person would be offended..." would cause the Sox to pull the item is where the critics of political correctness have a point.

But that is for all intents a figure of speech. One born from the PC establishment, but a figure of speech nonetheless. When is only one person going to get offended by something?

And you know in this case, once one person points out the minstrel angle, all sorts of people are going to get bent about it.

In this case I agree. But many such cases the outrage over perceived "racism" is aimed at broad groups.. all police, all white people, etc.

Here's another way to think on it.. you went broad with "majority race" because one person labelled this as PC run amok.
 
The PC virus is for cowards.
So I'm guessing you are never bothered by how your culture, religion, or ancestry is portrayed or talked about. You never heard a word or saw a depiction that you thought was in poor taste?

Can I come tailgate next to you and fly a flag of a stereotype of your family ancestry performing anilingus on a key figure of your family's religion? If it bothers anyone else you'll say, "Screw them. They are cowards infected with the PC virus"

Unless that one person is Ortiz
 
it was found to be offensive - by somebody they did not want to offend - Ortiz - and at that point no rational Red Sox executive would have done anything other than pull it.

http://www.latimes.com/sports/mlb/la-sp-david-ortiz-bobblehead-20160810-snap-htmlstory.html

Ortiz was shown a photo of the rejected bobblehead before Tuesday’s game against the New York Yankees. His reaction: “That’s supposed to be me?”

According to the Globe, Ortiz used “unprintable language” to say he agreed with the decision to pull the plug on the promotion.
 
The picture in this thread is the one of the prototype. The ones that came in didn't look like it. The lips and mouth were all kind of messed up.

Yup. On Fox Sports they said the original bobble-head had big white lips that were reminiscent of the Al Jolson days.

We live in a world where perception is reality regardless of the obvious lack of intent to portray it this way. The Red Sox made the right move.

When you rationally consider:
(1.) the previous reasonable caricature Ortiz bobble-head (which the Boston Red Sox President Sam Kennedy probably has in his office)
(2.) and then look at this exaggerated big-white-lipped bobble-head
(3.) bear in mind the stigma / insulting history of the era of Blackface Minstrels
(4.) pause for a moment to recall that while the hideous reputation as tone-deaf racists may be far in the Red Sox past - it is clearly a label that they do not wish to inadvertently refresh & have re-applied by their own hand.
(5.) got a personal opinion from David Ortiz (Big Papi - not pleased - not at all)


after considering all of this - no rational person in the ultimate decision making position of the Red Sox organization would have gone ahead -
 
This is not PC. No outside people compelled the Red Sox to change what they were doing. They made an internal decision they didn't like the product.

I wouldn't be surprised if the "racially insensitive" angle is really just a ploy to comple the bobblehead company to grant refunds and make new ones. I'm sure, "that doesn't look enough like the guy" is not grounds to ship all of them back.

If it was, maybe Rutgers would have pulled the Eddie Jordan/Lionel Ritchie bobbleheads.
 
After seeing what the production version looked like, there's no question it should have been scrapped. But they would have been much better off just to say something like: "These bobbleheads did not stand up to our professional standards, so we've asked the manufacturer to remake them."

And, if you look beyond the lips, overall the thing looks like crap. As someone above stated, it looks like a child put it together. I think the Red Sox need to find a new supplier.

Congrats, Fellas. . . This thread is a complete and utter debacle.

Filled with Idiocy, Racism, and heaps of good old fashion Arrogance.

Mixed in a dirty glass and served with a slab of disgust, lol.

Can I come tailgate next to you and fly a flag of a stereotype of your family ancestry performing anilingus on a key figure of your family's religion? If it bothers anyone else you'll say, "Screw them. They are cowards infected with the PC virus"

I never said that, you assumed.

I asked questions. Your answer indicates that you believe that some speech is discourteous and would be unwelcome to you. What is wrong with the Red Sox deciding to limit their own speech because it would be discourteous and unwelcome to those who find minstrel imagery inappropriate? Where is the line where in their act of good taste is an act of cowardess and your refusal to welcome me as a neighbor to your tailgate is not cowardly.
