Riot Jersey

 Apparently, as an update, there now a facebook event titled 'Riot Jerseys' at this link:
http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=110746972338315

The information of this event reads as follows:
"Hey everyone, we thought it would be an awesome idea to immortalize the RIOT THAT IS KEGS AND EGGS 2011. This is UAlbany. We go hard. We aren't stopped by authority, automobiles or anything else. If you're in our way we'll crush you. Show your UAlbany pride and represent.

We're selling t-shirts of any size, just post on the wall and let us know what you want. They're going for $6.00 for one, or two for $10.00 . We'll need at least 24 people to order so add anyone you think would buy."
 Maybe this is the other side to my argument? Maybe it's funny? I feel that there are so many students, and people at the parade, who were upset about what happened, and don't find it funny. In any event, I marked this as offensive on facebook. Am I missing something? Seems like crushing people is a gendered statement. Something about this being a jersey is also gendered.
