Baseball shows it's whiteness.
Oh, no. That's just terrible.
Somebody should do something.

We live in an age of unbridled white id.
Many days it is anything goes, baby, from the White House to the baseball stands; objecting often draws a scornful wave of the hand and a lecture on political correctness.
The latest eruption comes courtesy of Josh Hader, a 24-year-old white relief pitcher with a smoking fastball and a Twitter account filled with hideous thoughts typed when he was 17 and 18. A Hader sampler: “White Power, lol” (with an emoji of a clenched fist), “KKK,” and “I hate gay people.” He also used that vilest of words for black people.
This all came to light as Hader pitched in the All-Star Game last week. After the game, he mumbled something about being influenced by rap lyrics. Then he abandoned that tack and began apologizing profusely. “I was 17 years old, and as a child I was immature,” he said, “and obviously I said some things that were inexcusable.”

Now they attack baseball.
A winning political platform.
You mean the one they constantly use to each other, which is prominently featured in their "music"?
I am so damned sick of this stuff I can barely read it anymore.
.
It’s the NYT signature smear...
And, I've got to wonder what color those great ballplayers coming out of the Dominican Republic are supposed to be. They all look blacker than ObaMao to me.
And maybe there are fewer black managers now than there used to be precisely because baseball has come to value competence over fashion statements. You perform, you get your contract extended. You don't and you get fired. And your skin color doesn't make a difference. How racist! < / sarcasm >
Some of us still see people as individuals, not as races or groups. How terribly backward of us!
Look what they to that woman who did southern cooking on The Food Network, and 30-40 others who made stupid comments, 20+ years ago. Can’t remember her name...
OOPS!
Rap stars shout "nigger" (or is it "nigga"?) routinely ... can't be a particularly vile word, or they wouldn't be doing it.
Did your friend's Dad grow up to be PA's governor Tom Wolfe who built his multi-million dollar business by securing state contracts from political connections?
It’s basketball and the NBA.
All you need is a ball, a pair of sneakers and a hoop to play.
And then there is the thug culture that MLB is horrified about and the NBA embraces.
That was Paula Deen. If you are outed as a racist even if it was many years ago, you will be ruined. Substitute black for white and it’s no big deal.
How many times have blacks used age as an excuse for black violence and black crime? It's the default excuse for 'teen' violence.
The author is upset white fans won't jump on they lynching bandwagon and 'denounce' Hader as a 'racist'.
By not denouncing Hader as a racist they prove they're racists as well.
Blacks demand "Zero Tolerance" for racism and they expect everyone to do as they say.
They want another John Rocker.
This article was truly nausea-inducing.
I want the press to take a lie detector on tv and respond to this question. “ Have you ever said the “n” word?” . Lets do that with Chuckie Schumer and Pocahontas. That needle would be flying off the table .
KKK...EQUATES TO THREE STRIKEOUTS!!!!! These Putzs at the NY Slimes are truly pathetic.
Paula Deen. But her troubles were revenge from Michelle Obama because Paula told the world Michelle never stopped eating when she appeared on Paula’s show.
As soon as Paula’s life was ruined, a judge ruled the lawsuit was a nuisance and dropped it.
Heh. Yeah, that’s why you never see political protests in Baseball—they don’t care one way or the other about the US Flag. Although Yuli Gurriel DID manage to get in a bit of hot water in the playoffs last year for making “chink eyes” at Yu Darvish.

Black comedian Larry Wilmore called Obama “my nigger” at a public White House event. And that was ok, because, well, just because. If you are Negro you are allowed to say and do things that others are not permitted to do.
Because of the influence of Latin America, many baseball players are Catholic, or at least Christian, hold prayer meetings, clubhouse services on the road, appoint or hire team pastors, and many players are seen to praise God before their at-bat, and after a successful play.
The media hates that, and wants to corrupt it, like they've corrupted everything else they've touched.
