We had several people come up to my (white) 4yo son when we were in India. Touching his face, saying “hello little gentleman!” and picking him up. An armed guard at the airport picked him up and toted him about while we were going through security. It was all good, just strange. And my cousin’s son for some reason is…

My brother said that happened to him when he did some filming in a rural part of China. He said people would run out of their houses to look at him.

Same situation with me in Beijing, which I thought was strange because I saw white people around me there everyday. But it surprised me how much I got used to being stared at all day.

My kid has red hair and is a frequent photo subject around DC. I don’t mind if people ask and say no if its not a good time/feels sketchy. I hope the parents were informed and ok with it, given that lawyers are probably involved in this publicity tour I suspect they were

An independent league is generally a collection of teams that have no affiliation to Major League Baseball clubs (though an MLB team could sponsor a team or provide players if they wish). They simply play each other with the hope that MLB teams see and sign their players. Some of the players have had long careers and…

She’s suuuuuuper conservative, and always wants to “help” other young women. She didn’t know that I recently got off my birth control and have just BEEN LOOKING for a reason to chew someone out.

You want to kick females, are you sick in the head?!

Players from the team can end up on affiliated teams. In fact, that’s the goal. And for Sonoma (in an independent league), while it sucks to lose a good player, it’s a selling point for recruiting.

Is there any truth to the details about his (allegedly self inflicted) injuries? Because breaking 3 of your own teeth with a phone receiver is pretty major.

I know I’ll feel the same way about 35 but I’ve got 5 years and 6 months to deal with it so I’m going to try to enjoy 30 year old me zen until then.

This isn’t a MLB minor league team, it’s a independent league.

I mean, I hate myself a little for thinking that’s an update, but... well. Yeah.

There were a few decent college football kickers that were women

Don’t let facts get in the way of a good click!

I feel like that should be like, in the article or headline somewhere.

That’s not a minor league team.

“My daughter hates me....I bet it’s feminism’s fault!”

I remember in high school a girl suggested I might be a lesbian because I was okay with gay people. I thought that was a weak argument and it didn’t bother me.

Absolutely, and there’s still a weird bit of incest that is not necessarily “wrong” but it’s SO WRONG. This potential future kid will forever have to figure out how to explain to people how their mom is also their grandma and their dad is their grandpa, but not really because it’s a stranger. Or the kid will just be…

This would be slightly closer in the direction of sensible if being a minor league ball player was a guarantee of one day playing on a major league club. I mean, it still would be unfair, but I could see some semblance of reasoning. But seeing as how only about 10% make it to the big league at any point in their…
