Harrier is currently working on the law degree.

By the way, Harrier never criticized the players, Harrier only asked a question about their nickname.

How is term teabagger pejorative ? I don't consider it pejorative. Why did the tea party call themselves that if it is??

You are the first person I have heard state that they self described themselves as such.

I will fact check your claim.

I can only state that the first time I heard the term, it was used perjoratively by liberals on this forum.

Anyone familiar with American politics knows that tea partiers started calling themselves teabaggers first, to which I say cool.

It's not an insult to be accused of teabagging.

Ah now you are back to working on a law degree, did you take the wrong pills again because this fixation on a nickname that already has an actual history that you are ignoring is sounding a bit like you are trolling cause it has been a slow news day.

Slow news day?

There was a brush fire and a mandatory evacuation in Fillmore, CA, Louisville won the NCAA tournament, and a kindergarden student was suspended because of his haircut.

How is that a slow news day?

Yet you are obsessed with a nickname of a team that already has a well defined history. And yeah, that is a slow news day...well besides the famous deaths that have happened the past couple days.
