Racism Scandal in World Series

Is this over the top, or is the punishment?  At least baseball is making a statement that the NFL won't even address.  Makes me wonder what the baseball commissioner would do if a player kneeled for the National Anthem?  Kapertwit claims to kneel for social injustice.  I see his kneeling as comparable to the black Olympians who raised their fist in Mexico City.  He's black, and thus had the power to disgrace our country.  Does he care about injustice in the black community?  Idk. He didn't vote, that might help.  Does he give his own money to help the black community?  Idk.  Does he spend time working with black youths?  Again, idk, but I doubt he does any.  So is he kneeling for injustice, or is he giving the finger to all who love this country?

people are way too sensitive these days... I'm continually finding I'm a relic in a different age. 

What a breath of fresh air no-look, and well spoken.  I've wondered if it was just me.  Feel like I need to find a taxidermist so I could be put in the Smithsonian.

Houston Texans prime example.  Owner says (about kneeling for Anthem), Inmates running the prison.  Most of team starts kneeling.  Why?  That's a fairly common expression.  He's not comparing the goofballs to inmates, just saying the employees are running the business.  I stated in another thread, many people were goofy as a glass eyed dog.  I wasn't calling them dogs.  Good freaking grief, to sensitive, or to stupid.  The statement was being critical of Goodell, and the NFL, not the players.

Why didn't he say we can't let the employees run the business if that is what he meant? Yes, he did call them inmates, and you don't get to dictate when someone should feel insulted.

NFL players seem to feel they can dictate when someone should feel insulted, that is how this all started.

You've never heard that expression before?  Fairly common.  No, I can't dictate what insults an individual, but unlike them, I'd hope I have enough sense to understand what someone is implying.  When people call someone a sob, do you automatically think they're referencing that persons mother is a female dog?  Well duh, I hope not.  

Imo, they knew what he meant, they just wanted to have their 15 minutes in the slum, oh, the sun.

The inmates are running the asylum is the correct phrasing. Forget  who can't or refuses to understand this. It's like saying killing two birds with one stone. Uh oh, someone is killing birds.

    • Heading into the summer and before two a days get going… what are some concerns or positives about your team heading into next season? I’d like to hear from some H-F people because according to some they are the district favorites heading into the season. I’m just trying to pass some time at least until we get our DCTF magazines lol For Bellville my concern is filling some holes on defense… specifically at LB,S, and DT… bright spots ? Basically the entire offensive line returns that paved the way for 3 RBs to rush for more than 1600 yards a  on the season (2 of those RBs will return as well). With all that said Bellville should still be a region favorite this upcoming season.
    • That’s not a choice, it’s the same thing and equally dangerous.    I’ve literally heard (with my own listening ears) the R County Chairman boast in a speech that “the only time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat was when I voted for Hillary in the Democrat primary! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” You’ll never guess who is tweeting all over the place about how we need closed primaries this week.  Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  Escalation of force.  These are concepts that you completely understand and teach.  Whatever we do today, we’ll pay for tomorrow. Impeach a President over something stupid? They’ll impeach yours twice.  Promise to lock up your political rival if you get elected? You can’t cry over somebody else doing it to you… even if you were just blowing a little smoke for the morons.   The old days of “don’t throw rocks if you live in glass houses” has now become “I’m pretty sure I’ve got more rocks than they do.” The frightening thing is that Ds only do it to Rs. Rs do it to Ds and other Rs alike without hesitation.  
    • Definitely does NOT sound like a fit for PN-G.
    • No offense, but both sides do it.  The Rs in Texas want to do away with decades of precedent and demand that Dems are no longer given chair positions on any committees in the Tx House. It sounds reasonable enough, until you arrive at a point when the Ds enjoy a single seat majority in the house, select the most leftist speaker of all times, and the refuse to give Rs any say in the legislative process by refusing to give them any committee chairs.     Experience has shown me that any time a party seeks to consolidate power in a legislative body, it backfires.    What I don’t like is a world where we cheer for Manchin for doing his own thing, but also re-elect guys like Paxton and Patrick when they make threats to R Legislators if they don’t do exactly what the Radical Right demands. Our Rep here in Hardin County lost his spot for voting against private school vouchers-his wife is a teacher. He also voted his conscience on the Paxton impeachment.  It cost him his seat…. Not because of the will of the voters in his district, but because if millions of outside dollars pumped into the race from outside the district and even an endorsement of his unknown challenger by Donald Trump himself.    Why do people like you applaud Manchin for being his own man and then vote against Phelan for doing the same thing?
