Let me just say...

 

...yep.

[SBTarheel]

Red Sox/Blue Jays considering sitting tonight out.

 

My two least favorite teams, but mad respect right now. 

[The Epic]

I gotta say...

 

Mookie Betts is, like, the perfect individual. How can one person be so good at everything?

 

Also I can see why he HAD to leave Boston.

[SBTarheel]

Rangers/A's, and Phillies/Nats cancelled tonight, more to come it appears. 

[BSLRoseKatz]

Red Sox/Jays and Twins/Tigers too

[Pedro Cerrano]

Rockies/Dbacks too

Holy shit Rob Manfred is trying to force the Mets to pull a social justice awareness stunt tonight by having the players symbolically leave the field at 7:10 before returning an hour later to play at 8:10 even though the players don’t want to play tonight

 

“At a leadership level [Rob Manfred] just doesn’t get it”

 

Wow.

Unless this is somehow fabricated or the greatest misinterpretation in the history of the sport, Commissioner of Baseball, Rob Manfred, has to resign. Tonight. This is indefensible, cheap, sordid, racist.

Incredibly happy that Aubrey Huff never went down as an Orioles legend. Almost worth the additional years of sucking.

His since deleted tweet...good lord.

I hope every clown who says they're "never watching sports again" keeps their word. Good riddance.

This is my base reaction, too, but I don't think it helps anything.  Try to engage.  Takes a lot of work to change minds but if you can start at least getting people to listen a bit things can get moving in the right direction.  Goes both ways, too.  Gotta be willing to hear them out, as frustrating as it can be to listen to people who aren't aware of how they sound and what their words really mean.

You're right, and I know this to be true.

 

But it gets very frustrating that the same people who say "cancel culture" is ruining the world are the first to say "no comment" when discussing important issues like this. 

 

Thanks for being the voice of reason here, Mack. Kudos!

As individuals and as teams do what you have to do. Its also arrogant to believe that your status as an athlete/celebrity makes much of any impact on others thoughts and beliefs.

We can only hope.

Summarize. I would assume that guy is good for a cringe follow if I were inclined to do the twitter.

It's naive to think it doesn't.

I don't think I can name more than a dozen senators. Athletes have a huge platform.

I responded, then edited myself. 

He's not a cringe follow. 
He's not someone you, "I don't agree with much he has to say, but seems like a reasonable guy." 

 

He's just a horrible person.

Incorrect. 

 

He's a million times worse than anything that we could possibly do justice to on here.
