MLB - NEWS & NOTES

I'd say you're the one who's out of line. You're assigning things to Adam Jones that he hasn't done and then saying he's out of line for doing them.

Why does he need to conduct a case study about white police officers brutalizing black men? Plenty of other people already have. Dispute the results if you'd like, but the info is already out there.

The statement he made about racial distribution in MLB is correct. Dispute the way he said it if you'd like, but the fact is MLB is 60% white, and only 8% black.

Further, as should be obvious from the answer he gave to the question that he was asked about why no AA MLB players have demonstrated during the anthem, HE DIDN'T KNEEL. He stated unequivocally that he disagreed with Kaepernick personally and that he wouldn't protest during the anthem. So basically you've got your knickers in a twist because he had the audacity to give an honest answer about why he thought no other AA MLB players had.

So again I have to ask - what exactly is it you think Jones did that was so out of line?

 

udog- i was talking about kaepernick and the stats!

what his point of even mentioning baseball is a white man's game? what's his angle there? what's his point? Why say it at all ? To try and bring more attention to it? so it's a white man's game that he's in. he's more than fairly compensated for it. What point is he trying to make? that blacks are treated unfairly in baseball? that they are the minority?

 

Well, you said Jones was out of line multiple times, and I asked you why multiple times, and you gave no indication that you were talking about CK (though I had my suspicions that you were co-mingling their actions). So you still haven't answered the question of why JONES was out of line. Those were your words, multiple times.

He was asked why he thought AA MLB players weren't protesting...he stated why he wasn't doing it, and he gave his honest opinion why he thought others were reticent to do so. I don't know what his "angle" was, but I applaud him for giving an honest answer - quite honestly an answer that could do a helluva a lot more to advance the debate on this topic than all the spleen-venting over CK's actions.

 

And I could say the NBA and Most of the NFL is a black mans game. So why aren't the whites complaining and going to the games? Whats the point of this bullshit anyways? The best players play, the ones that aren't don't, period! There is no point except it seems like a racial statement.

As I brought up before. They tried to form a kids league in Florida in a dominated black neighborhood. When it was time to report, hardly any kids showed up to form a team. Reason was they were too busy playing basketball......

 

Cardinals beat Giants - keep playoff hopes alive...

Bumgarner is an ass! What's his problem?

 

He's an ass! But he's a special ASS! Your not supposed to look at him. Like Puig is worried about Mad Bum when he came across the the ocean in a small boat with a bottomless pit of water.......

 

Giants, Cards and Mets... all tied up. (80-79)

 

I love that Puig made don't look at me shirts and sent one to MadBum. Too funny.

 

mad bum is nothing to me. he's out of his mind. his actions are caused for psychiatric concern. "don't look at me?" is he serious?" Unless his name is Jesus Christ, anyone can look at him!Get over yourself pal.

odd that 9 games over .500 ball is a wild card team! i thought the teams would be better this year, but they are very average.

 

Tigers for the moment have made the WC.

 

Tons of injuries this year for most of the teams?

 

First time this whole season so far that the Orioles are not in in playoff contention. Good Luck Will! *THUMBSUP*

 

dont be cheering yet for the WC. too many games left to cheer unless u clinch. just keep winning and get the WC spot. should be fun to watch.

and igloo--yeah injuries have been up this year for the playoff teams it seems. playing fantasy was a real pain this year as guys were out left and right and in some cases months at a time.

 

Im just happy they made it to where they are. They were last place at this time last year.

 

Texas Rangers Clinch AL West Title.
