Yes double o. It’s a surprisingly popular slur that’s hurled with little, if any, context (by black people) in a lot of conversations I’ve participated in and seen about this issue.

I agree. Sometimes you just need to run things by people who won’t call you a c**n, libtard, snowflake, etc.

3-4 comments in and I’ve been convinced that they don’t necessarily need to be motivated by anything but he desire to take some type of public action to address problems they believe exist. Thanks, Kinja.

This annual ratings gripe is super annoying. The guys with ratings gripes clearly don’t play the game. If they did they’d understand what their ratings mean.

Ok, I think your comment is addressed to what the participation of white players accomplishes. So in your opinion, white players joining the protests will get white people to look at issues of racial inequality differently?

I’m still trying to figure out the endgame. I supported Kaep’s right to protest, but I always felt like he painted himself into a terrible corner by revealing that he’d continue the protest last year until he felt there was “progress,” which is ambiguous, subjective, and unlikely if we are talking about any sort of…

The annual 2K ratings gripes are annoying. A 86 and above in the 2K series is a star caliber player. 90+ is a guy who turns in consistent star performances. 94+ are superstars

The best proof for us former track athletes are the stories we heard about a 15 year old from Jamaica (Bolt) who had already cracked 20 seconds in the 200. Dude was an animal his whole running life.

Yup. That’s why I’ve noted in multiple responses that it’s speculation and that speculation seems to carry more weight for some players than others.

Again, I like Beltre. I’ve got no issues with people loving Beltre. I just want to see baseball writers make up their minds on how to deal with all the guys who blew up…

If I could edit my original post, I’d write alleged 🤷🏾‍♂️

Unconfirmed list, of course, but it’s too much of a coincidence that he showed up to spring training 20 pounds heavier in 2004. It’s interesting that speculative steroid allegations carry more weight with some than others.

Another beloved drug cheat. I wish baseball would make up its mind. Loving on guys like Beltre and Bartolo while keeping all time greats like Bonds and Clemens out of the Hall is just silly.

Baseball is the dumbest. You’re not supposed to celebrate doing good stuff. You’re not supposed to try to keep winning games you’re already winning. You’re supposed to throw 90+ MPH projectiles at sensitive body parts if someone breaks any of the two other rules. You’re supposed to cheat and steal signs in plain view,…

I was hoping someone would post that. I was way wrong! Thanks

Debatable, imo.

Seemed like it didn’t enter the strike zone until it was past the plate to me

I lol’d, cuz that’s funny even though I don’t really know what the Gilmore Girls is besides being a tv show.

Sometimes I feel like I need a white people pop culture dictionary.
