I didn't even know why the shirt might be offensive, so I looked around the comments. I find a collection of offended people cheering on the ever encroaching police state. Lovely.
I finally get to some comments by other confused people, and of course there's the standard "EDUCATE YOURSELF" refrain. Why not just explain the offense? Right wing people love to explain what they're pissed off about, even though the explanation is usually labelled offensive anyway. Why can't authoritarian lefties do the same? Why must I read their minds or sift through a ton of information to find the needle in a needle stack of things that offend them?
Looking at the actual explanation, it's possible the shirt is referring to the 97 deaths of Liverpool fans in a stadium collapse and stampede years ago, or it might just be a coincidence, since the points tally for the team was also 97. Still "not enough" to win.
More than likely, the guy wearing the shirt saw the coincidence, chuckled to himself at the dark humor and put it on a shirt. Poort taste, maybe, but still comedy. If there hadn't been a dual explanation, it would've been just dark and tasteless, but that's not the case.
Vague laws about offensive content are ridiculously dumb, in any case.
