No one should be overly offended by the comments IMO, but the comments were still pretty tasteless (especially considering that 4 members of the team were killed in a plane crash in 1956). I didn't feel the apology was necessary, but it was good to see anyway.
There are thin skinned fans that follow every team in professional sports, so I think that picking on Rider fans in that regard really isn't fair. As always, the loudest complainers get the most attention and anyone that is overly outraged needs to get their priorities in check.
(this post was written by a Rider fan that wishes he wouldn't get stereotyped any more than he already does. Seriously, who thinks a Roughrider's tie is a good christmas gift? EVERYONE in my family)
