I do want Herb to answer the work question that he is avoiding. He's been asked and just told the guy "You're out of your lane".

Does Herb think it's fine to call Dan Bernstein a "N****R"?

Why won't he answer it?

I don’t want to speak for Herb but my best guess is because it’s a dumb fucking question and there’s no reason to call Dan that.

Is it cool for white women to call me the N word? Because I get that a lot. I'm fine with it. Better then them slapping me.

WFR, leash, and Jorr from what I can tell. Anyone saying “why can black folks say it but I can’t?” qualifies imo.

Huh?

You really think based on my comments that I'm jonesing to use the N word?

My point is that the MLB rule (whatever it is) has to be the same for everybody. Not sure how you could conclude that I'm complaining I can't use the word.

I don’t think you want to use the word at all. I should have phrased that as “why can black folks say it but white people cant”. I think that’s a fair description of what you, wfr, and Jorr posted in this thread.

Why do you hate black people

White people: remember that word we came up with to insult and belittle you?

Black people: do you mean the one we've since repurposed within our own culture?

White people: yeah, that one! You shouldn't use that word anymore.

You're a lawyer. Tell me how you would write the rule that allows some players to use a word and others not to. How would you word that?

But why does it need to be a letter of the law thing? I get that argument as it related to MLB rules but I’m talking about just a broader philosophical discussion regarding our society which I thought we were getting at?

Isn't Herb's argument that MLB shouldn't be able to say anything? I thought that was the point of the thread.

Also, I'd just like to add that Herb is perhaps even more vapid than IkeSouth.

I think Herb’s tweet is wrong regarding MLB regulations but don’t think it’s worth DBing him for. I was under the assumption the discussion moved broader than that.

Same way it works now. Otherwise ban all bad words.

Sounds like Herb is doing his job sparking discussion.

A job is a job and I don't think anyone, especially someone that has a Jermane Dye photo as their avatar is in a position to shame

It's Eloy Jimenez.

Even worse

Poor Bob has been owned in every way by Eloy this spring. Praying for his recovery.

Yeah owned by a guy with a 740 OPS. Sit this one out

You mocked him for a .500 OPS a week ago. He’s played 17 career games. You see where this is going?

How many N-bombs do you think are dropped by players during an NFL game? Does MLB have a zero tolerance policy about its use on the field?
