This nation has become a bunch of pussies.

Probably a tad insensitive to the thousands of people who have lost loved ones to the epidemic.

I could see if the game is in Africa or broadcasted there. I didn't see it as some insensitive joke that mocked or made these deaths trivial. He could have used any "disease/virus" on the poster, and any of them listed would have caused deaths at sometime in history.

Probably not a good idea for a mascot to mock epidemics period. You don't think there are people in the US with family in Africa that have died?
