Of course, she has retained an attorney and is planning on suing.

I don't think a shirt with this expletive is appropriate for being in public. People will sue over anything these days.

I opened this expecting to read that they asked her to remove her post-mastectomy breast prosthesis and read about a stupid woman wearing (a probably well meaning) offensive sweatshirt!



She should have more brains and common sense than that. What was she thinking?

Some people will sue over anything just to make money! Sad!

She was thinking that her cancer crisis-engendered public sympathy and fundraising was old news. The returns were dwindling. She was left to face the rest of her private survivor life like all the rest. Had to do something to refocus the spotlight again by pitching a fit in public. As for the sweatshirt stating the obvious in such an unnecessarily offensive way, haven't met any survivors or friends and family of one yet who felt cancer was a grand thing.

At least they're not claiming racism by the airline. We'll see what their lawyer says.

BTW, she is cancer free and pregnant.

Waiting for it. Still, we can hope pulling the race card is showing dwindling returns too.

I was appalled by the young "man" who was coming toward me in the grocery store as I was leaving. My attention was drawn to where he wanted it to be because that is how these clothing items are made and exactly why he was wearing it. The front of his sweatpants?, jeans?, whatever, I don't remember, spelled out "Stop looking at my d*ick" and the "d" word was spelled out. As I passed by I was sooooooooo tempted to mutter at him "Class" but kept my mouth shut, feeling it wasn't worth a physical attack by someone with mental problems who didn't see a thing wrong with this.

I support the airline on this.
She doesn’t stand a chance winning that case, that rule is in writing. You’d better ask me nicely or I’ll sue you! Give me a break.

I was thinking the same thing.

She can stand a chance, if she saw an equally offensive shirt not questioned. I never liked these policies because people take them too far like the Kurt Warner jersey being banned because of MS-13 in some theme parks in the early 2002's. https://coasterbuzz.com/Forums/Topic...rs-at-elitch/3

I’ve had cancer, twice. I keep it to myself, because it’s my business, and also because nobody cares.
