Sports Halls of Fame will be the next target. Ty Cobb, one of the first inductees, had lots of accusations thrown at him.

But OJ will still be in the NFL HOF.

Yes Cobb is widely and falsely painted as a bigot. The first man elected to the Hall of fame.

Cap Anson will come out first.

Ty Cobb was NOT a racist. He openly cheered Major League baseball bringing in black players.

Money quote: "And far from being the most notorious racist in baseball history, he was an early and vocal supporter of integrating the big leagues."

Ty Cobb

Do not throw dirt at Ty Cobb.

That man built hospitals for black people in Georgia and South Carolina.

People want to portray him as a racist and if they would educate themselves, he was not.

I know personally. The Ty Cobb Museum is close to me and I go every year to celebrate his birthday.

He was a better man than people believe. He did a lot of good. Please do not put him in the mess.
