Classless post on Ravens facebook page

[Pedro Cerrano]

Exactly...it was not an intention shot at the team. That should have been obvious to everyone.

If it wasn't then their timing sure was interesting. Why not post the picture the afternoon before the Cards/Marlins opener? Instead they waiting (I believe) until the day of the O's opener.

Because the Cards and Marlins aren't Ravens fans and don't have a place across the street.

And btw, the Orioles haven't exactly been inviting to the Ravens over the years, so I would have no issue if the Ravens were giving them a giant middle finger anyway.

Well thats obvious, just a dumb comment made by an employee/intern.

Just because it wasn't intentional doesn't make it less of a shot.

You don't walk up to fat women and ask when they're due... even if you really thought they were pregnant. Intent doesn't relieve you of your responsibility to not say stupid things.

Right, because no one has ever floated something out there with the idea that they could call it a mistake and apologize if people get upset.

You can't compare a company to a person...Sorry that's not a legit arguement....Its like saying the coca cola corporation makes disgusting products is equal to saying some ones grandma makes disgusting food.

Intent doesn't relieve you of any responsibility of what you say, but reasonable people take intent into consideration when choosing how to react.

We don't know their intent, though.

Ravens are the #1 team in town and the Orioles have only themselves to blame for it. Still, no reason to rob the Orioles of their ONE DAY of joy and celebration this year.

This made me LOL

Agreed was just pointing out that intent does matter in most cases...I am shocked this is a 5 page thread maybe we are becoming to sensitive towards the Orioles because we are chronically put down and underrated on the national scene....But someone saying they wished it was the Ravens opener instead of the Orioles, I mean come on, it's really not classless at all.

To judge someone as classless in this case is classless within itself.

No. This is an ad hominem attack.

It may not have been, but it was poor judgement and classless as a result. Good to see them make right of it. Clearly shows it was an issue.

Ah, so you're now condoning poor and classless behavior by the other team in Baltimore. Nice.

Sigh. Clearly you're not cognizant of situations. Ravens made a mistake. They owned up to it. Move on.

No, I am just saying that you and others are crying over nothing.

And of course they changed it and said something...that had to pacify the overly sensitive.
