Ok so my hubby gets to watch his Pirates today because they’re playing the local Nats.
I see the majorly nasty pitch hitting the Nats batter, and finally he walks into the dugout and lockers, and I see his 42. My first statement…”I thought they retired….”
Then as my hubby mentions oh it’s Robinson day.
Sigh. Soooo sick of this. So I check out Reddit and sure enough, tons of threads relating to Robinson day and all the doings…and a whole thread griping about how too many are complaining (funny, because all those posts are gone, as usual, an echo chamber), and how America is so horrible and racist and all you Trump supporters are racist still just like Trump, etc.
Long ago I said this is ridiculous. I’m sorry, but even the retiring this number for everyone is asinine. Then, we have to make a huge deal out of it, and a thread there whining that nothing more was mentioned except when he came in, etc. the usual libel and false witness ensues.
We keep bowing to anything to make America the great bogeyman, the evil empire…yet they’re still here.
These people actually also state they hate America. That is Dems, they are comm7nists who hate America, and celebrate anything to keep that notion going.
What does anyone else think about this? Is this ridiculous self-flagellation In celebrating a man of decent career just because LONG AGO he had to “break the barrier”?
You can’t post on Reddit baseball without being banned. Again, have to stick to the few conservative fora there ever are.
