That's what I assumed at first, but it's hard to tell when he says it made him literally shake. Even if he is lying, dial it back a fucking notch. He's providing fuel for morons like Bernstein.

he's an excellent bullshitter. he's the one who talks for the cubs when shit goes down.

When they moved so quickly on this I assumed they found out the guys name and quickly found his twitter or facebook and it was an easy call. If it is true they ONLY went on this then I hope this guy rips them to shreds and takes the Ricketts kids college funds.

I disagree with some of what Morrissey says, but the Cubs deserve everything they get. Virtue signalling (which is what the Cubs were doing) is almost always hypocritical.

I'm waiting for them to replace the video board with a giant "Hate Has No Home Here" yard sign.

That was the line that caught my attention. I think it's just the opposite - it's unlikely he knew the sign was associated with white supremacists.

I agree. There was a real good chunk of us here that had no idea that sign was now attached to white power. I heard Waddle, Silvy, Carmen, David Haugh, Mulligan, and Jesse Rogers all say thing over the last 24-36 hours.

its going to be funny during next year's free agency when they say they cannot sign a player because of the payout on the settlement for publicly damaging a the guy with no evidence.

Maybe the drum beats against Crane Kenney will begin again.

The owner of the season ticket will soon be pressured to write a memoir entitled, Unbearable Whiteness: My Unintended Role in Birthing North Side, Bourgeois Nazism . . . and How I Found Healing!

There are only two things about this situation that can be true

1. The guy is a racist who made a racist hand gesture behind a black man on TV or

2. The guy was playing this circle game and should be on every TV network suing the cubs for defamation of character


If he doesn't come out, the Cubs were right. If he does, the Cubs and media owe this man an apology.

I never knew this was a racial signal, but evidently it is. All goes down to his intent.

Let's say the Cubs fucked up and this guy is totally innocent of racist intent. Can there be a defamation suit if he was not actually outed by the Cubs? My guess is that if he were innocent and planning legal action, his next move would be to show up at Wrigley, see if they try to expel him, and then make a scene.

Cubs ban a random racist fan and there’s 10 pages on it. Slow news week. When does football start again?

You know what's fucking funny?

I can imagine all of these fuckin' whites at the SCORE sitting at the bar after work. After these long 2 days where they were fighting racism for black people. They're all exhausted. All patting each other on the back.

Connor: You were great, Dan.

Dan: Oh, please. You were better.

Mully: My dead Giddy Aunt would be proud of me. Hey Parkins, you were great as well.

Parkins: Yeah, whatever. I'm trying to get a bet in. Shut up.

Dan: You know, I kind of feel like I know what it was like to be MLK.

I feel I can speak for black people here. They are just as disgusted that these ass holes were on the war path over this thing as they were over the guy flashing the sign. Probably more disgusted with the SCORE guys. They don't want these fake ass holes fighting their fight.

Sweet dream, white SCORE ass holes. All you did was weaken a nation this week. That's all you did.

Why would he come out? Reveal himself and there is danger of ruining his life. The Cubs already said they don't care about intent anyway.

Well it's literally about the only thing that the Score talked about this week, and there is only so much kicker talk we we can handle.

There could also be a 3rd option. Maybe the fucking guy was just hanging his hand that way. I'll bet if you search pictures of yourself, you would find yourself hanging your hand that way for no fuckin' reason what so ever. So maybe it wasn't racism or the stupid game.

The only thing that should be talked about is a Renteria and his dumbfuck lineups every day.

They are pretty terrible, but it's torture to care too much about them. He's a god awful manager. And I am afraid that Cooper might be over the hill at this point.

We've all heard Crane through the years.

Is there a doubt in anybody's mind that this "ass kissing" suit is a racist?

I now realize why Bernstein was so upset. Take a look at the responses to the first tweet of his article. He gets owned by normal people everywhere.
