Default Why I Hate Missouri -- You Should Too


http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/...to-the-ground/

These are the shirts Mizzou fans are making for the upcoming showdown between the #3 and #5 teams in the land. For those who aren't Civil War experts the shirt depicts Quantrill's raid in 1863 in which some folks from Missouri burned Lawrence to the ground.

Hard to blame them. It's kind of funny on the surface. Except they burned Lawrence to the ground because it was founded to make Kansas a free state and abolish slavery in the US. The backs of the shirt read:

"Raise the Black Flag and Ride Hard Boys. Our Cause is Just and Our Enemies Many"

Ah yes, our cause is just, indeed. They're embracing a violent pro-slavery mob that killed innocent women and children for the sake of continuing to oppress an entire race. Real respectable folks out there in Missouri.
