Are they being a bit too "sensitive?"

According to the Greenville News, a lot of Clemson fans don't like the new hand gesture being done in the stands at Tiger games. The newer students have a new paw gesture they do, and it is being called insensitive. What was supposed to resemble the famous tiger paw was seen as an "arthritic hand gesture"

Have we gotten so ridiculous that we look for something to be upset about with everyone and everything? I just see this as a Tiger clawing, not a demeaning gesture to people with arthritis. How do feel?
