Rest Of Baseball - 2017

I posted the same picture in the racism thread.  I debated which thread to put it into, and after thinking about it, it probably should be in both anyway.  Too important to ignore.

I've read a history book or two, and can definitively say that racism is way more American than baseball. Baseball is more of a Dominican thing nowadays anyway.

So are they for it or against it?

[QB Eagles]

Unclear what their intent was. But it has the word racism in it so it must be newsworthy, controversial, and teachable somehow. Kinda hoping it was just a Foxwoods stunt hoping to create a viral meme with their logo in it. Nothing like shedding that white guilt by losing several paychecks to the red man.

GF was joking but they are clearly millennial hipsters

How appropriate that they hung it in the most racist city in the country.   Also - how anyone could misinterpret the meaning is beyond me.   Racism is as woven into the fabric of this country as baseball.   Durrr... I don't get it.

Two out b9 and Lindor ties it with an RBI double

Hopefully they can keep it going

i have a strong feeling where j and rome come down on the protective netting debate but i need to hear it to be sure

[PhillyPhreak54]

Tell me where I am, sweetheart

[ice grillin you]

I actually think j is for it

grandpa romey  thinks it's another example of the pussification of the country

[MDS]

theyre both against it. PAY ATTENTION at the games. they of course are both super athletic real men who will intently watch all 350 pitches and have the reflexes and reaction to not only get out of the way of a screaming line drive coming at them at 120 mph, but catch it barehanded without dropping their beer.

Sorry to disappoint you but I'm for it.
