Look at Ray Ray Run

If they disallow the use of that word by a black person then they should disallow a lot of other words - at that point I'd be fine with it. But this is no different than saying fuck you, cock sucker or anything of that sort.

Agree 100%.

Well you seemed to miss the point and I dont expect you to understand... but black people are "taking the word back" after a century+ of people using it to dehumanize them. They are taking it back, making it a part of their culture, and limiting the power of the word that way. You said you got offended by cracker so I dropped it... but for you to sit here and say how offended you are by that word is comical with the current stance your taking. If you think the use of cracker was heinous and hurtful what do you think the n word was? There weren't a lot of white people hanging from trees with cracker carved into their chest, were there? Were there a lot of bathrooms and drinking fountains In the 60's with no crackers allowed on it? You have no right to tell a black man how to use a word that was created to dehumanize them. Just as I have no right to tell you that cracker shouldnt offend you. I respected your wishes but you cant respect others.

Yes, and sadly - although I doubt this was MLBs intention - this comes off as shaming a black man for using a word that has been reinvented by black culture to reduce the power and hatred behind the words origin.. a word that was created to dehumanize them.

Why are all the people offended on twitter by Tim using the n-word white people?

What's the difference? The N-word was created to degrade and entire race of people. They decided they want to take the word back, end it with an "a" instead of "er" and use it casually. You know who doesnt have a right to tell a black man not to say it? A bunch of white people who have no understanding of it.

Yes and the fact that the MLB claimed he used a racially charged word - when hes black and directed it at a white guy - is disingenuous and hilariously absurd.

As MLB fights to get minorities more and more involved in baseball, there actions push them further and further away.

I mean based on the UD definition Tim wasnt wrong lol A skinny n* who tries to mack on girls and flexes his muscles that look like twigs. A weak-ass n* will act like he's tough around his friends, but when he gets confronted, he won't do shit. Also, weak ass n*think that they are strong, but struggle to hold open a metal door lol

MLB's attempt at damage control gets more and more embarrassing every single tweet.

Lol Someone should update the urban dictionary definition of this phrase to just read "Brad keller" Mlb is very out of touch.

0% chance.

I said it before but Tim Anderson has just made himself a ton of young fans. Been great for Tim and the TA brand and in turn great for the white Sox.

But Manfred will blame trout for not doing enough commercials... because its trouts fault that stars arent marketed better.. has nothing to do with archaic mlb being stuck in the past and not embracing these things.

Joe will take the donuts.

So they took Joe West word for it and there is no recording. This is a travesty.

It gets dumber by the minute. Mlb sees the anger and does damage control. Turns out they lied about their damage control and some players from the Sox called them on it so they redacted their comment.

Come on man. You find me a person alive offended by the word lol.

You like a [edit] filled with cheese and peanut butter you fat son b****.

I can't throw a fastball now? What's up with that man!? Terry had clearly talked to the umpire before the game, and the ump agreed with how absurd it was that the Dodgers just kept hitting the Mets over and over again... but then Noah get's ejected and the umpire is like shit... I agree Terry but it's still not OK.

The sentences in an NBA game would be reduced by 20%. Suspending Tim Anderson for this is so out of touch.

If someone got suspended for using the word [edit] I might die laughing.

LOL

Yes, and this just shows that the language thing is BS. This was the umpire mic that leaked to the public. It'll never happen again.
