The Founders are celebrated for things that are wholly unrelated to furthering the system of slavery. Confederate Generals and others associated with the Confederacy are, in general, not.

Bartolo bomb is basically all you need to know here.

This is wrong. I was a reasonably good high school ball player that had no shot at playing D1 in college. I played in wood bat leagues from time to time and absolutely hit a ball much farther than 175' with a wood bat.

The worst thing about the entire situation is that no matter what, the people in Philly that believe in “the process” will always try to defend Heinke by saying that he didn’t get a chance to realize his vision. This is the true tragedy

They’re more like the colors from the 1960's era logo/color pattern. I find the new ones to be much better, but mostly because that old logo is so amazing.

He’s not a showman so much as he’s just a stupid asshole. I find it unfathomable that he has taken all the oxygen out of college hoops.
