You are blocking the author of this post, RCBracco.

who cares (besides you...and maybe rcbracco) if you are blocking his posts? I certainly don't, and don't really need to read it after everyone of his posts.

It annoys him.

I doubt it...he already knows you are blocking his posts. Being constantly reminded of it probably does not annoy him (but it annoys me, which we know you enjoy too)

So, I was watching North Greenville University play the University of Tampa play today in baseball. NGU's 1B is a UGA transfer. I've known the kid for quite a few years. Good kid. Good family. Justin Fields was UGA's backup QB. He is transferring to Ohio State. The two guys are buddies. The 1B is a white kid. Fields is black. During a game early in the season, the 1B was sitting in the student section watching the game. He felt Fields should be playing over Fromme. He made the comment to a couple of his buddies that "they need to play my nigga." A black girl sitting a couple of rows below hears him and reports him to administration. He is subsequently kicked out of school that next week. This just reminded me of how stupid of a society we live in sometimes. Should he have said it? Probably not. Did the punishment fit the crime? Not even close. In fact, Justin Fields and Elijah Holyfield both texted him saying that they were not offended by the comment.

agree with you there, strikeout. It may not have been the smartest thing to say, but taken in context, it seems pretty obvious he didn't mean anything racial by it. Definitely not worth being kicked off the team for. Maybe suspended for a few games, but not kicked off the tea. Sometimees we take political correctness too far.

The troublesome part for me is now, for the rest of the kid's life, if he is applying for a job they are going to google his name and this will forever be what shows up.

Yes, lord knows the right is never quick to find offense.

The problem is people's lives are often destroyed because a large portion of our population has skin about as thick as wax paper.

IDK about the right but the LEFT, which surrounds me in Boston is more easily offended from my observations. Hell you cannot even assume a gender anymore.

This is why I'm in favor of a bra-less society. Then you can usually figure it out, especially in the winter.

Too funny. New gender test in Arizona is ice cube down shirt.

Who's being funny. It's the new retired way of life. Marry young, ban their bras. When it starts looking like a banana tree, trade it in on a new model. One with headlights full on!
