    If they woulda named the mascot, "Poke Chawp" then I can see how it could be offensive.

    According to the Racial Slur Database:


    Pork-Chop sounds similar to Portuguese, so I guess it's insulting.

    lets see... POR-TU-GUESE.... PORK CHOP.... I don't hear anything other than the first 3 letters sounding similar. haha, even that was the case, that guy isn't Portuguese.

    btw..xero, i decided not to play OEpro.. because of something that happened in casual. I am tired of all the bugs and stupid nukebots. That was never an issue before.
