Thanks for the blurb.

And JR will never admit it as long as there is a chance he could play that card again.

Great point. I'm also thinking losing 1-4 is faster than losing games 1-8 (assuming we can score a run.)

No he hasn't been censored but several people here want him to be. That would be censoring what a newspaper publishes if you believe they shouldn't be allowed to publish this. I believe adults should be allowed to read or not read what they want. I tell that to folks that want to ban or censor stuff I agree with. I'm not going to turn around and say but it's ok to ban or censor it I don't want to read it. I just won't read it. I also believe it's fair that, like The Athletic, I won't be reading anything more from that rag mag.

To summarize 1. The abuser is the type of human I loathe. He used his power and fame to abuse people. I hope there is a special place in hell for people like that. 2. The article is poorly written as an independent journalistic work. It is horribly one sided and annoying and frustrating to read based on #1. Further it is crap like this article that will lead the AI evolution in developing content. 3. I believe adults should have the choice in what they read or don't read and do not support censorship.

Not at all. Jail time, fines, banned from baseball are punishments. And I agree it is a poorly written article. It certainly isn't balanced. I don't believe the negative articles that were written should be considered part of his punishment. He deserved a lot more punishment than a negative article. Anyone reading the article can see his life was ruined by what he did. He didn't get away with it like happened for most of history. If Nightingale turned this into a book, you would be at the university wanting it banned from the library, I'd be advocating for not banning.

That seems like two different issues. I object to what seemed like a poorly written, one sided, article. I don't object to there being an article. I'm unimpressed if we consider any article to be the punishment. I think he deserves something far now severe than a nasty article.

I don't really need to know anything more as well and certainly is someone who I wouldn't defend. My point is if he has a voice I'm confident that everyone who should have a voice does. I think it also confirms that victims will be listened to and perpetrators punished.

Of course not, but you already know that. I never was the subject of a negative piece on a platform that well distributed. But you did learn something in Texas. Marginalizing voices you don't like by regulating them to obscure platforms does effectively silence them. Let's take people and events we don't like and remove them from textbooks for example. They are still available in other places so that's ok. Let's take those books out of school libraries because they are still available other places. Since my book isn't in that library, their book shouldn't be either. It's a slippery slope you are advocating for. One I'd rather not be a part of.

It's not too me to decide if the settlement was fair, but I'd be happy if he was broke and hungry all the time.

One price of our freedom of speech is allowing folks that we don't like or believe deserve a voice to have a voice. It's the only way to assure that every person who should have a voice, does. I read the article, I don't believe him. Hopefully he had some savings after the confidential settlement so he's not on public aid. I'm glad he's not in a position to abuse anyone and banished from baseball. Media personalities, journalists, etc interview all sorts of undesirable humans. Perhaps it will encourage others who have been, or are currently being, abused to step forward and report the crime.

I'm not certain it would create interest. To me the MLB f draft is the equivalent of buying a bunch of scratch off tickets, waiting four years, and seeing if you won anything.

I think we need to revisit this after spring training and rosters are finalized. My hunch is the Guardians will add some pieces and be the AL Central team that loses in the first round.

I worked in Mexico for years and traveled central America. It does give a perspective

If it happens here it can happen anywhere.

The assumption this is from JR -- I know it's a big assumption -- but while not quite as bad a Wirtz, it's on the same worse five list.

Joey Meyer. I always felt he was underrated as a head coach. https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/12/29/24019457/joey-meyer-depaul-basketball-dies?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=BREAKING_SPORTS_XMEYER&utm_content=BREAKING_SPORTS_XMEYER+CID_9281d8853a66505253d1793e3dd3a544&utm_source=cst_campaign_monitor&tpcc=BREAKING_SPORTS_XMEYER

Meaningless lol I guess I missed those playoff games this year. So care to guess who we will be playing in the first round this coming year? Are you missing the 154 game schedule or the 112 game schedule?

We're not the only team he could play for in the MLB.

Happy New Year Y'all

Thanks @Dick Allen I took a stroll down memory lane https://mlbcollectors.com/CWSjerseys3.php Looking at other teams it seems that Majestic made minor changes on a regular basis also. They are selling to teams, I wonder if minor changes like this really increase sales to regular fans.

I question is they looked at his spin rates and have a plan to help?

Oops

Wow. I hope he earns it, but I'm not convinced.
