@ColleenMacD@SmithRaps Colleen please ignore all the people calling you out here. I totally get you. We develope love for this team/players and when they leave it's like a friendship dies. I totally understand. However, please try to see where this process takes us, maybe you'll fall in love again
@JDBunkis Masai and Bobby's legacy is trading people too late. With FVV obviously they failed completely, but with Lowry and OG the value was not there anymore (compared to offers they had), and Siakam trade will be the same. Kept on waiting for the perfect offer that never came.
@Wilnerness@KKiermaier39@Jaxland58 Extremely happy for @Jaxland58 and his wife for having their baby home with them. We all rooted for them during last season! Hoping to see him in Jays unis again, not just because his a great human, but because he's still a great arm!
@MMatier @GOJHL @FEMeteors @PortColborneJrB Why in hell is the ref just standing near it with his arm up and letting this happen? What's wrong with this sport????
@donnovanbennett We'e used to sports media making bombastic claims. That's how sports are covered today. Victor Wembanyama draft was a great example ("bigger prospect than LeBron"). Otahni fest, in a sport where individual performance is the least indicative of team success, is the current craze
@Wilnerness The "Ohtani to Dodgers is good" narrative is stupid on so many levels. Not just that the Jays (and Canada) would have been an amazing market for him, but also how is that under-achieving superteam getting stronger by force any good for bball??? And now the deferral??? Ridiculous
@donnovanbennett@JonHeyman What a stupid remark by a "big" reporter. Really??? Having the big, buy-it-all team in LA get even bigger is better than the guy going to the ONLY team in Canada, a team that has a huge fan-base that spends money? What a stupid narrative. I just can't with those idiots.
The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?
The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.
Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.
In short, they said:
It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.
This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:
“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”
The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.
Don’t take my word for it.
You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.
They must all resign in disgrace.
If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.
Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?
Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.
To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.
On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.
It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.
If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.
