Closer view of the image:
I leave it without commentary, but I will link one of the multitude of recent articles about it linked.
There is actually a story behind the shirt, the creator and the proceeds, if I can find it I'll link it (if people don't want this deleted)

But BFD!
People offended by this shirt should really start thinking about jumping off a cliff.
I believe the shirt is sold out.
the proceeds of the shirt go to a Navy Seal Foundation.
It was designed by a former Navy Seal and it was supposed to be him and his/a military dog in Afghanistan and I think it was supposed to be symbolic of the downfall of Bin Laden.
the take-away I have most from the shirt, more than the viewers interpretation of the message, more than charity, is that Belichick doesn't give a fuck and that's part of what makes him successful.
Ben McAdoo could not wear this shirt. Hue Jackson couldn't wear this shirt.
Belichick can and does.
And posts like that makes me sad. We're even.
Exactly and couldn't have said it better myself. We defeated the enemy and people are upset about it? It's truly incredible. People here have no idea what it's like in these hellholes with religious warfare, beheadings and mysogyny. The people who commit these atrocities are pure scum.

of our country that gets upset by our military ending a Islamic terrorists life - a person who blows up innocent woman and children, beheads Christians and Gays or any non-believer, a person who won't let woman go to school, a scourge on our world.

Oh look, it's a dumbass circle jerk.
Mark's comments resonate with me. I wouldn't wear that particular shirt, but it would take more than such a decision to accurately categorize my views towards terrorism.
The thing I hate most about BBI is that some people, really a minority, can't seem to have discussions about ANYTHING without attacking, putting a label on, or being threatened by anyone who might disagree with them. And as always, their voices are the loudest.
As to the shirt: Personally, I think it's inappropriate. I don't think, nor do I want my children to think, that killing for any reason is something to be either celebrated or trivialized by putting it on a tee shirt. When famous people do that, it tends to affirm and normalize attitudes that are reflexively violent and ultimately destructive. And in this case, despite the contention that the depiction is of Bin Laden and not just some random muslim guy, it is sufficiently vague as to be stereotypical.
Bellichik should know better, and frankly, he should show more respect for the people who are actually tasked by the American Empire to do its killing for it, than to make it look like nothing more than taking sides in a football game.

I know he's a football god and is probably too preoccupied creating new formations, plays etc in his football lab to care about fashion, but he either needs a good woman in his life to dress him or get Giselle to send him some regular shipments of age and fit appropriate clothing.

Not sure about your last sentence Mark. Robert O'Neill was on Howard Stern this morning and he sounds like he and his SF mates wouldn't mind this shirt at all and would probably order a crate for them and their pals.
My brother did over 400 missions with his SF unit in Iraq and received the Bronze Star for killing a notorious hunter of American convoys - he would probably wear this shirt and have a good laugh about it over a few beers.
The shirt would be the last thing that he'd think was disrespectful.
the proceeds from the shirt go to the Navy Seal Foundation.
Pretty sure the "people who are actually tasked by the American Empire to do its killing for it" are not offended by the shirt even if some people on their couches can't fathom that. and I'm "on my couch" so I don't mean to imply otherwise, but at least I can understand how they're not offended.

Good post. The perpetually offended will continue to be perpetually offended. As active duty Navy, I'm thrilled we're killing terrorists. "War is our business, and business is good."
He'a got a little bit of beotch teats going on there too.

What exactly is the issue with the shirt other than it is atrociously ill-fitting?
albeit he is over 60 now I believe.

"boo hoo your shirt offends me, take it off!"
get a f'ing life - or celebrate the fact your life is soooo good that a t-shirt is your biggest concern.
He is worse than a 15 year old girl in the 80's
War is the most despicable endeavor created by man. It is usually a result of either one side wanting something that the other side has, or else a lame show of strength. Both of these reasons are juvenile. But with all the testosterone out there, rational discussion of differences seems to be out of the question these days.
Admittedly, this is a very complex problem, but I agree with Marvin Gaye when he said "War is not the answer".

Sorry, I was referring to war started aggressively. Engaging in a war for defensive reasons is obviously justified.

I don't know...to me, it depends on what the question is.
suns out guns out. plus he wanted to expose his six pack if he lifts his hands up.
1. Who gives a fark?
2. I don't think some should call people pussies for being offended by a shirt while also getting sandy vag from someone kneeling.
