If you read the whole letter, he isn't calling for everyone to loot, or any other law breaking,. but he is making it clear that the longer you ignore racial equality, the more likely you make it that you will see this kinds of incidents happen.

I was just talking about this letter yesterday when people were misquoting Martin. It reads like was written for right now, 55 years later.

Let's be honest, if she was that ready to file divorce, this didn't just happen over night. She had wanted to for a long time but didn't for some reason.

If he is as abusive of a husband as he is a cop, this might have been her chance to get out while having the cover to do so. He isn't going to be able to come after her, and she knows it. She is leaving a cop who has gotten away with 18 counts of abuse as a cop, what chance does she have? Calling the police? This might have been her salvation.

I will upgrade that to probably worse, and there is zero chance at a conviction.

They just teargassed a public protest for a Presidential photo-op.

When you add in the disgusting racist faction of this family, I am not sure there is an ownership group I dislike more than this one in pro sports, and that doesn't even include the Cubs factor in it.

LOUDER FOR THE SOX FANS IN THE BACK

If only we knew a famous media reporter.

Howards connections to the White Sox just seem like the really obvious thing to me, but I guess we will see.

Ok Boomer

So is the idea that some people are just more "infectious" than other people? Or that we don't know why some events happen or not?

So is that to due to social distancing of the people, or the virus not being as infectious as was previously thought?

Form the sounds of it, there is a number of players who fall into the at risk category. I would bet the number is greater than zero.

The Union has to negotiate for the best financial plan for everyone. The individual players will each make a decision as to whether that is good enough to risk it for.

I didn't think I would have to explain this part, but MLB tries to restrict dangerous activities to minimize injury and death because players know their contracts can be voided if they get hurt doing forbidden stuff. See also Cespedes. In this situation, the very act of playing baseball would be the dangerous activity and be the thing that could cause injury and death by a deadly virus.

I guess you haven't heard about the list of things that players contracts ban them from doing, have you.

To follow up on this, check out this string of tweets on the topic, Hopefully this helps the Sox.

It isn't nearly as simple as that. You also have to look at how many people have been exposed to get an accurate death rate. It isn't hard to think that in an athletic situation where you are intimately close with all of your teammates, plus the other team, if one guy gets it, it will explode through clubhouses. We see it happen with a normal flu for sure. Baseball is probably the least of the major sports when it comes to contact, but it still has its points where guys come into closer than social distancing from each other.

Yep, we saved tons of money by going college senior in every round 5-10 last year. That is quite literally impossible this year.

So dumb question here, but isn't this a normal thing? I mean we have a draft every single year. We don't add new teams every year, so for every new draftee brought in, someone has to be removed from a team somewhere else, right? I think maybe this year is more stark and obvious because in a normal year you have a release here, a retirement there, and an injury somewhere else. Normally there are cuts in Spring Training, and then the occasional cuts here and there as the season goes on. Maybe some cuts don't happen because baseball related injuries happen, and some of those roster spots are saved by someone going on the DL, whereas this year no one is having a baseball related injury for all practical purposes. I mean the White Sox cut 25 guys, which in a normal year, they bring into the system somewhere between 30-35 guys through the draft and UDFA signings, so aren't they just doing what they normally would do? Instead of 25 guys being cut over the period of time from the middle of March to the middle of June, 25 guys are getting cut at the end of May. The more I have thought about it, I think this is what is happening, right? Or am I totally out of left field here?

I am going to guess there are more players than we realize have underlying conditions. There is no reason to tell us, so they don't. But things like asthma doesn't preclude you from being an effective baseball player, but it sure would be a big problem if you were exposed to COVID.

Pre-existing conditions would be the biggest reason. Both for themselves and any family members. Also of note is take a look at the umpires, managers and coaches especially. We are talking about A LOT of people who fit square into the "at risk" categories.
