Seriously, it fucking amazes me how unaware people in non-southern areas are of their own bigotry. Chicago is hands down he most racist place I’ve ever lived in. Wrigleyville’s got those jackwagons by the dozen.

Not to stand on a soapbox here (he says as he’s about to just that), but this is just another case of why I’ve always rolled my eyes at the “the South is so racist” comments that people make these days. There is plenty of racism in the North. I’ve lived for a good amount of time (roughly a decade or more in each) in…

As a Red Sox Fan I would say that we need to impose lifetime bans on people using racist taunts against players. Period. No second chances. Also, anyone who thinks I am a Racist because I am from Boston is just as guilty of idiotic generalization as these drunken racists idiots.

You forgot balding. Federer still has the best hair in sports (non-Minnesota youth hockey division).

Rob Rossi should never, ever, under any circumstances be taken seriously.

It has TOTALLY rekindled my love for pro tennis (which was all but dead for the last 5+ years).

This guy thinks that Ovechkin and the Capitals conspired to hurt Crosby...

No, I’d bring up the South’s present. A couple of years ago, a poll came out showing that a near-majority of Republicans in Mississippi (i.e. nearly all whites in the state) thought that interracial marriage should be ILLEGAL. Throughout the South, people are fighting to keep monuments to people who fought to protect…

But isn’t that sort of like arguing that NYC is super homophobic based on the crackdown on gay clubs decades ago that led to Stonewall?

I live in Boston with my mixed-race family. The city is too segregated, and no place in America (or the world) is immune from racism.

Having lived in both Boston and the south (and I live in neither place now!) I can confirm with great accuracy:
The south has MANY more racists per-capita. It’s really not even close. Go wander through Jacksonville FL or Charleston SC and then tell me with a straight face that Boston is ‘equally bad.’

You and me both. I don’t know what Boston was like 20-30yrs ago, but it feels to me that Old Boston is being flushed out of the city with time. I moved here from Central MA a few years ago and notice the people like me (25-35yrs old, young profesisonal, not born in Dorchester or Charlestown) vastly outnumber the Old…

Sox fan here. I’ve already heard some people who were there last night saying “I was there, I didn’t hear anything!” Jesus. Knock off the denials.

More like 5 million, if you think of a city as a functional unit and not an essentially arbitrary political boundary. Nobody thinks of London as a town of 20,000.

Canadian hockey fans also hear the US Anthem before approximately 80% of their home games.

That Screamer tag could be interpreted few different ways.

The idea that women are somehow incapable of being 1. reasonable or 2. wrong is so insanely insulting and patronizing at the same time.

do you abuse your kids also?

I believe you buried the lede:

Your tweet was bad.
