Dear Toronto Raptors…

Dear Toronto Raptors,

We take offense at the racist caricature masquerading as your mascot. No, not all raptors “play basketball.” Would you use a picture of a raptor “eating watermelon” or “stealing a car” on your uniforms? I should hope not. Tradition is no excuse for hate.
