I completely agree and that's the way I look at a lot of things. More people need to take that mindset, not only about themselves but towards others as well. People need to stop assuming the worst from their fellow man, because IMO the vast majority of racist, sexist, ableist, etc. claims come from people that automatically assume the worst about the person making a statement they find to be offensive.

Then guess what. You're fat. I hope you don't take offense at that statement. It is only a fact. If you are overweight you are fat. You may take offense at me saying it, but it does not come from a place of hatred towards you and I do not think any more or less of you because of it.

Ignorance about what exactly? Define the word. You seem so sure of its meaning. Racism and Offensiveness have two different meanings. Same with offensiveness and homophobia, or offensiveness and able-ism. They are not synonyms. I'm not the one in this thread using them as such.

Adding extra periods does not strengthen your argument

Fat people take offense at being called fat when they're walking around weighing 400 pounds. People take offense at all things in todays society. It needs to stop.

I'm sorry. But if someone says the person in the presidency is only there because of racism, than that is BS. If you believe it is not, than you are a partisan hack. I didn't bring politics into this, he did. And what he said is absolute ignorance.

Rise to what level? Do you think the majority of the time the words used by Kopech are coming from a place of hatred in modern day usage?

This is the biggest bunch of BS I've ever heard

If you don't see the difference between offensiveness and racism, then there's no point in even discussing this. Racism = hatred. Offensiveness does not necessarily require hatred to occur.

What do you have against "white culture"?

Is Kopech claiming that blacks are inferior to whites or did he just use what is considered to be an offensive term in a manner that wasn't intended to offend anyone?

I see nothing wrong with his tweets. People are just so f*cking oversensitive these days.

Love how there's almost no difference in mechanics and release point on these pitches

Insane

This. bringing kopech up makes sense because of his development. We want this kid to become a 200ip pitcher

I'm more worried about his ability to hit lefties than I am about his defense.

If he can hit for .300+, i honestly don't care if his walk rate is that high. Put the ball in play every at bat and make shit happen. Sabermetrics be damned, it's nice to have someone like that in the lineup.

Dunning has all the makings of a very solid #3 starter for years behind Rodon & Kopech. Those three at the top of the rotation, plus Lopez & Giolito (if Gio can figure it out) are going to be a very strong rotation in 2020

Guy had one of the nastiest 12-6 curveballs

I can't not root for Sale, doesn't matter that he's on the Red Sox now (it helps that I don't dislike the RSox). The guy is one of the 5-6 best pitchers I've ever seen and he's a psycho (which I will always argue is a good quality in a pitcher).

Renteria needs to get his ass tossed from some games over this type of BS

there isn't a losing culture, the team just sucks, and it's supposed to suck the way it's assembled.

Jeter was only half as legendary at slaying poon as Pat Burrell. 50% of the girls born in Philadelphia between 2003 and 2008 were fathered by him.

The guy is easy to root for. Still wonder if the breakup with that smokeshow screwed with his head a bit earlier this year.
