2016 MLB Regular-Season Thread

I absolutely cannot fathom that people would shout that at someone, in a stadium full of people, in 2016.

 

Did anyone else find it strange that this story used "alleged" and "allegedly" in the first two paragraphs?

The story didn't name anyone by name, so they're clear in that regard. Also, I don't think the "N-word" is an "alleged" slur. It is most definitely a slur.

 

I was just thinking the same thing. How long before some careers are ruined by a few cell phone videos?

 

I can't imagine it happening at many other major pro stadiums in the US.

 

Blame soccer.

 

This is completely unsurprising. St. Louis fans are White Trash of the highest order. That fan base probably has the highest percentage of Klan membership in MLB by a wide margin.

 

Neil Walker homered twice tonight to give him six so far this season. His former team, the Pirates, entered today's games with only seven home runs. Only the Angels (six) and Braves (three) have fewer.

 

Nothing about that link surprised me at all. They just don't have a clue.

 

Blame LaRussa.

 

It''s not the cell phone video of the people yelling the slurs that ruins careers. It the people yelling the slurs that ruins careers.

 

Cell phone videos don't hurt bigots ... Bigots hurt bigots.
