How long before they come for statues of legendary sports figures?

Wasn't Ty Cobb a huge racist? There was a shite ton of racists in the league before it was integrated. Pandora's box has been opened.

The book that perpetuated this was found to be a total hack job smear piece. They made a movie out of it, though, and it's pretty much reached the status of common lore.

Sort of sad.

Everything with even a taint of racism must be eliminated for consistency!

Eventually everything from the Stars and Stripes to the Lincoln Memorial WILL be attacked by BLM and antifa!

Just wait until it is decided that college football is racist. The players are slaves since they are forced to play for others amusement without getting paid. The stadiums will have to be torn down along with any statues of coaches.

No, it's a complete myth he was a racist. It was perpetuated by a writer who despised him during his playing days.
