I suspect numerous people find it highly offensive.

Wouldn't a PM have sufficed?
Gentiles don't think it's funny.

A side note...
There is an actual group of Jewish folks who believe Jesus is the Messiah but still hold to their Jewish heritage (customs etc). They have an organization called "Jews for Jesus".

Not sure who should be offended Jews, Christians, or Jews for Jesus?
Kind of reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Jerry was upset dentist converted to Judaism just so he can tell the jokes

Hopefully Montero gets traded and we can read headlines referring to Cashman as Judas.

It's all done in gest.
I'm a pretty religious dude, beliefs wise at least, and I don't find it offensive.
Definatly far less offensive than the snickers that have been made in the past about Montero's name on these boards.

Its a play on an actual group of people. If anyone is offended by folks who are more than likely Jewish indicating their support for Jesus Montero it may be the fact you have way too much time on your hands or you could be too delicate for this world...

Seriously? Wow.
Jesus was Jewish. Not sure I follow how facts about the man offend Gentiles.
I am Jewish, not a member of "Jews for Jesus", but I find the sign pretty catchy.

Correct, that is what I was inferring.
Messianic Judaism is a "Christian Faith" that has a relatively large movement that has been going on for many years (which I consider myself to have some ties with), where both Jews and Gentiles celebrate Jewish heritage (song, heritage, holidays, dance, worship, food, etc..) but share in the belief that Jesus (Yeshua) is the messiah.

You are a very, very serious person. I've noticed that.
I'm a gentile and don't think it's a funny sign. I didn't say I was offended by it, I just don't see the humor.
Now, a sign that said "Don't F with the Jesus" would be funny.

Obviously not, because he didn't know the answer.
I am a gentile, and my wife is Jewish (by heritage, not by faith), and neither of us found it offensive...it actually intrigued me, and I would contemplate collecting him on the mere thought if he is Messianic, which is why I asked.
Still curious, Does anyone know his religion, or if the sign has any meaning other than to the fans?

A bunch of Jews were in the stands, made the sign, and gave it to him. Someone took a picture. BFD.

OK, do you find this funny, or offensive? It's pretty much the same in my eyes.
