But perfectly acceptable to use Alen Hansen...

The cool lesson about David? He begged forgiveness and changed his evil ways, which is the entire point here.

GMAB. I mean can we at least quit pretending that this is one sided somehow? Like Trump's cult isn't attempting forced patriotism upon people, and shaming the NFL into it? Like they aren't shaming people into not hiring Colin Kaepernick an ruining the lives of anyone who states things they don't like about Donald Trump? Yes I believe it is a good thing that we do things like try to stop sexual assault before it happens and not shame its victims as slurs who were asking for it. Didn't think this was a bad thing.

Wait, so guys can improve if they struggle early in their careers? Wow. I know someone who needs to read this post.

RIP John McCain

THERE HAS BEEN A BIG FOOT SIGHTING!

This is not new. This has literally happened since the dawn of man. People have gotten together and decided that certain things aren't really acceptable. And let's quit pretending this is one sided. Who decided that kneeling for the national anthem is worth shaming, but flying the flag of the country who committed treason and fought the US isn't? Damn those social justice warriors! Again you can do what you want, but so can everyone else. Your actions aren't exempt from consequences just because people did stupid stuff in the past.

It's almost as if you let talented kids have the opportunity to work through their problems they might figure it out.

There is so much irrelevant in this post. This is pretty much all excuses and enabling. Yes. We live in a society. As a group we decide what is ok and what is not. What it amounts to is that some feel like there should be no consequences for their actions. If you need to call someone a f@g to feel funny or smart, that is your right. But it is the rest of our right to see it for what it is. Don't cry because there are consequences for your actions.

Yolmer is spectacular.

I do also think that the ability to put things into context has been loss. We literally have people upset because they can't use a few specific words as insults even though it used to be OK. I mean dang, that is some true suffering for the cause right there. That is almost on a level with multigenerational poverty, gay-bashing, and racism.

Pretty sure they still pay, but the money goes to a special fund with mlb.

The unwillingness of a large portion of the country to grow up and evolve is exactly what is wrong with this country today. I would totally agree with that.

We could also see a backroom deal where Pence pardon's him to take the heat off.

When he made the tweet, I said he was going to be in trouble for it. You can't make these types of forward statements in the position he is in, without having everything nailed down.

Fatigue can very easily lead to injuries, especially if they aren't ready for it. Considering Cease already has an injury history, and has grown his IP each of the last two seasons by a good amount, there is no good reason to push it. I promise you if the White Sox are shutting this kid down, there is a good reason. They don't really handle things this way typically.

And circling back to post 1 here, Michael Kopech seems to now understand things better at 22 than he did at 17, and that is what you want to see.

At the end of the day, if in the 21st century you still are limited to the words in question and don't want to understand the bigger picture about what the impact is, the problem isn't everyone else, it is you not being willing to evolve and learn something new. Look at history, we learn and evolve. We do better.

I would rather see people evolve past needing to display ignorance to feel good about themselves.

I have seen your posts in this thread. Ignorance has been abundantly displayed. Like I said if you really need to words being talked about here to shape your vocabulary, Soxtalk is not a good place for you.

They.Don't.Need.To.Be.Said.In.Hate.For.It.To.Be.Wrong.

You needed to find a better fitting outlet than Soxtalk because this isn't what we are about here.

If you are trying to equate something as needing to rise to that level, that is exactly my point. We should be past this.

It is also completely unrealistic to write posts like this and believe them, but it happens.
