As a short guy, nope.

Teased, definitely. Hurt feelings, maybe. But actual offense? No. Hopefully won't start an "identity politics" discussion, but I just don't see "short people" as an issue.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
