The easiest way to avoid this conversation is to do what the manager did. At that point it becomes a 2 minute conversation instead of a 30 minute debate during which no one is spending money.

As far as it being offensive, of course it is. Pretty much any cuss word on a shirt in public outside of a college situation is going to piss someone off. How do you not know that?

I TOTALLY understand why my shirt would be offensive... however, we are in a gambling establishment, not Disneyland.

That said, if someone is wearing an Allen Iverson jersey, should I ask it be removed because he beat his wife, uses cuss words, and has a tatoo that uses racial slurs. I'm just saying?

it's a balancing of interests. autonomy vs. others. there's no bright line. I guess you just use a "reasonable person" test.
