What reason is there to believe he meant to hurt Pedroia or didn’t care about hurting Pedroia? I would argue there’s clear evidence to the contrary.

Fans do what Nintendon’t

I mean good for them. Lifetime ban for anyone caught pulling that bullshit would be nice. And fans need to police themselves. If some chucklefuck is screaming racist shit, tell an usher immediately. Do you really want America to group you in with the worst parts of your sports fandom?

“But sometimes it’s OK to throw your hands up and say shit’s complex, I’m glad it isn’t my job to make this decision.”

To ignore hate and intolerance, to turn a blind eye to bigotry and racism, is to empower the act and those who perform them. Inaction is acceptance. Silence is compliance.

I’ve been thinking about this very issue, whether to start wearing a kippah in public. Thus far I’ve decided against it, because I sort of feel like doing so would be kind of disingenuous. I’m an atheist, but I also connect strongly to my Jewish heritage. I mean, I’m wrestling with this, which is what we Jews do -…

If the acronym KKK makes you chuckle, then you my friend have a problem. You KNOW what it means, and KNOW how people feel about that, so you think of US (your consumers); As foolhardy jerks who find humor in racism... We aren’t you, and I concur with your name not being in the credits. Cya homeslice.

Molehills are not noted for their structural integrity.

You picked a hill to die on and everyone is wondering why you flopped down on a molehill.

This isn’t censorship, this is one guy trying to defend a bad joke that has no basis in the original text. It even says outright that the original name is a pun on light switches. What in the hell do light switches have to do with a radicalized Christian terrorist group?

Some peoples’ ideas aren’t valid. Some people believe we should live in a society where the strong rule the weak and do what they want. Some people believe spousal rape is a fiction. There are endless examples of invalid ideas.

You’re wrong and dumb and you shouldn’t type things anymore. Lovely enough for you?

If you’re the new left, I want nothing to do with you.

Hmmmm, not very liberal minded of Mr. Chait to want to shut down the free speech of protesters.

This is a big deal beyond this fake sports league. I am really hesitant for my kids to play games online specifically because of the misplaced profanity and racism. Note, I’m not opposed to well-placed profanity.

I love how people think that saying it’s a joke somehow negates the fact they’re being racist or sexist. Who cares it’s only a joke!! Said every bully ever.

People I know IRL who are otherwise kind-hearted use the term, too. For some reason, they don’t believe it has any connection to real people who have ASD. I hope they stumble upon this and it changes their mind!

I’ve noticed more and more people using “autistic” as an insult, especially when I see the chat log in FPSs, like Battlefield 1, on YouTube. I was wondering when this became the new go-to insult.

This is the artificial scarcity making some good headlines. They could have sold a lot more in it’s first weeks and then see it decline more sharply. But no, what were seeing here is a lot more in line with Nintendo’s production capacity then the actual demand.
