I consider myself a fairly progressive guy, I disagree with a whole lot of shite that gets posted on this board. But when did we lose the ability to make reasonable assessments about what is objectively offensive or insensitive versus what is offensive to fringe group of weaklings who shouldn't be taken seriously. It's hard not to laugh at how ridiculous this article is, and it's embarrassing that it's on SI.

Where does it end?? Rename the Saints because atheist have a problem with it? Rename the Cowboys because they are pictured as the enemy of Native Americans? Rename the Patriots because they supported riots? Rename the Chiefs?

Look I completely understand renaming the "redskins" and can even understand cle moving on from "Indians", but at some point enough is enough. If a team upsets you change channel. If a movie offends you, turn it off. If people dressing a certain way makes you feel weird, turn your head.

Agreed. It's a very slippery slope. At some point we lose the ability to communicate with one another.

Is just baseball, everyone knows Georgia was a penal colony once and second only to Alabama in inbreeding, MLB has always been owned by a bunch of racist criminals, shoeless Joe got screwed, fk Pete Rose..

there is some irony here considering this thread is all white people telling people to not be offended


Group 1: whines incessantly about crazy or stupid shite, tries to ruin others' (Group 2) fun

Group 2 (normal people): shut the frick up you lunatic, stop trying to ruin our fun

You and Lester Earl: lol look they are the same!!!

I think the article is silly, but this is equally as silly. It’s okay to admit our government did shitty things to natives 200 years ago. And LOL at it being comparable to “what out government is doing to us today.”



I did admit that the government overstepped in some things back then. It had nothing to do with "white people" trying to erase them. You had people in power who wanted land, and the natives wouldn't leave it, so they were forced. White people didn't get together and vote, as a "race" to drive them out.

And what the government, specifically the left (which you obviously are), is doing today is absolutely comparable. Forcing people to abide by unconstitutional mandates or lose their jobs and even go to jail. They can't drive us all out of this country, because there's far too many of us to do that. So they are trying to ruin our lives in every other way, instead.

Ah, never mind. Politard spotted.



And I've spotted a bleeding heart liberal. You don't think the article is silly. You have demonstrated that you are as ignorant as the author.

Does it say anywhere in that story about Indians killing a lot of people as well?

Umm, no they didn't. Even liberals know there was massive and obvious fraud, but they don't care and won't acknowledge it.

The numbers say that.


You mean the numbers that the dominion voter machines printed out?

They’ll likely vote in a progressive governor next.



They won't vote one in. But if people like yourself keep telling yourselves that there's "nothing to see here" they'll end up with one.

As for the topic in the OP, glad to see the commissioner responding the way he did.


If I believed him when he says "end of story", I'd agree. But somehow, I don't think he really means that. I just hope the Braves stand up to him when they mob inevitably demands that he do something.

Mocking


This is the big takeaway. Everything after this is just word salad. As is the case with all other SJW pursuits, it’s the white libs who decide what equates to ‘mocking’. They don’t care what anybody’s reasoning is, they just decide on their own that it’s to dehumanize someone.

Exactly. They always decide what we mean, for us, and what others are offended by, for them.
