Cubs Bans Racist Fukudome Shirt

FTA:

Within hours of a Sun-Times report detailing the sale near Wrigley Field of a Kosuke Fukudome T-shirt bearing a racist image, the Cubs put a stop Friday to the production and sale of the shirt.

Inundated with e-mails from offended fans, Cubs officials investigated, discovered the unlicensed product used a trademarked Cubs logo and confronted the vendor – who complied with the team’s demand to pull the shirt and cease production.

The T shirt in question is

The T shirt in question is the "Horry Kow" t shirt. A spoof on Harry Caray's "Holy Cow". The shirt was actually sold for the entire 08 season. You can still purchase it online and I will guarantee you will see street vendors selling them outside Wrigley Field in 09.
