I gained a lot of respect for these guys sticking up for TA and shitting on Donaldson. It was really good to see. I think I'll start rooting for these guys now to go all the way.

Good group of guys. Understand what acceptable and not acceptable in society today.

This incident may have united them to turn this around and go on a big run now.

Tim Anderson is a low character person. He compared himself to Jackie Robinson while bitching about Bandaids being too white. He's about as far away from the ideals of Jackie Robinson as it gets.

Jesus, it was 3 years ago. How long can you give the guy shit about it? It's not like he's been doubling down on his dumb statement.

Donaldson seems like the kind of guy who’ll needle somebody for decades if given an opening.

Talk about your black fragility. Poor Timmy cant handle getting his balls busted for a comment he himself made . Probably not a good idea idea to put yourself in the same sentence with baseball royalty and expect people to forget it, especially since hes about as far away from Jackie Robinson as you can get. How long ago did Theo make the Babe Schwarber comment ? Anyone around here let that go??

I dunno. Why don't you follow Theo around and mention it every fuckin' time you see him.

And to be fair, it was largely forgotten until this weekend when Anderson decided he didnt like getting his balls busted for his own comment and decided to play the race card to somehow wind up being the victim in this .

Didn't Anderson just mean that he was one of the most prominent black players left in baseball with the comment?

But, a white guy shouldn't be offended by the comment and shouldn't be using it to mock him for it.

“I kind of feel like today’s Jackie Robinson,” he says. “That’s huge to say. But it’s cool, man, because he changed the game, and I feel like I’m getting to a point to where I need to change the game.”

“I called him a weak-ass f------ n-----,” he says. “That’s what I said.”

He doesn’t regret it. He doesn’t think he deserved to be suspended. He doesn’t think baseball’s mostly white hierarchy should be allowed to tell him when and how he can use a word that for two centuries has been used to oppress his people. “That’s a word that’s in my vocabulary,” he says.

Donaldson is still thinking about a comment from 2019 that had nothing to do with him. It's just a bizarre thing for Donaldson to be worked up about. Who cares?

But it’s not at all bizarre for Anderson Grandal and LaRussa to be worked up about it. Who cares ? What’s the statute of limitations on using something that your opponent said against him Rick?

You said he wasn't offended by it but he's referencing it three years later to the players face.

It clearly left an impression on Donaldson for some reason.

Yeah that it was an incredibly stupid comment and he knew that mocking him for it bothered him. Look at the mental gymnastics you are doing to try and paint Donaldson as the bad guy in this. Do you understand how trash talk works ? Bird , Jordan would be having a field day with this .

That Donaldson is real creative in his trash talk. Same fucking shit, over and over and over. He's a lunkhead.

It can’t possibly be that this whole incident is stupid as shit. Someone HAS to be a victim in all this. I choose to sympathize with baseball’s biggest red-ass.

Yes, because it was incredible narcissistic for Anderson to compare himself to Jackie Robinson. Donaldson was mocking him for thinking he was Jackie, not because he was a racist.

People remember stupid comments from years past. Just look at this board for proof.
