@GrantPaulsen Unprofessional and unsportsmanlike. Bad enough to stand there and look at it but the throat slash is a no-go. If I were the manager he'd be fined and sitting out a couple of games.
@MarkZuckerman Not really excited about this year's team. I'm taking an extended wait and see attitude but if today's loss is any indication, I'll likely be waiting until 2028.
@Matt_Pinner Tips stands for To Insure Prompt Service. Tips are earned (not guaranteed) as a result of the performance of the server and restaurant staff. A tip of 40% is excessive even if the King of England's royal staff served you.
@wolvesrun_alone@awfulannouncing@JeffSkversky It has been confirmed that baseball will be part of LA28. They are bringing it back (games will be played at Dodger Stadium) along with softball and introducing flag football since the US is the host nation. Now as for 2032 that's another question.
The post was vile, disgusting, utterly reprehensible and indefensible. 🤬
The fact that the White House tried to spin it as an “error,” blamed a staffer, deleted it after 12 hours of public outrage, and then had Trump claim he “didn’t see that part” only makes it worse. That is the behavior of people who know exactly how racist it is and still chose to let it fly — until the backlash became too loud even for them to ignore.
This isn’t politics. This isn’t “owning the libs.” This is raw, naked racism from the highest office in the land.
It is beneath contempt.
It is a stain on the presidency.
It is an insult to every Black American, every person of conscience, and every generation that fought and bled to drag this country — inch by painful inch — away from the sewer of racial dehumanization.
Anyone who defends this, excuses this, minimizes this with “but others got animal memes too,” or pretends this is just another day in the culture war is complicit in normalizing one of the ugliest, most poisonous symbols of white supremacy still in circulation.
There is no both-sides here — No witty comeback. There is only shame — deep, burning, historic shame.
This post was racist garbage. Full stop. 🛑 ✋🏽
And the fact that it came from the President of the United States in 2026 should make every decent human being furious. 😡
@ImissJDub@realMUgrad2@SleeperNats Lindsey Nelson and Ralph Kiner were two of the three original broadcasters for the New York Mets. The third was Bob Murphy.
@csend@LA28 Definitely feel your pain. I logged on when registration open. Thpught I finally got to the head of the queue only to get booted out four times. Finally completed registration 2 hrs later! Got to be a better way!
@ILA_NewsX@redsteeze And just how do you propose free transit? Where is the money to pay for employees, new trains, system improvements going to come from? (30 seconds players good luck - hit the final jeopardy theme)
