Astros’ McCullars says he, family got death threats after poor outing against Reds

I Doubt it’s true. Astros fans aren’t Philly or NYC. And maybe Lance should spend less time worried about social media

That shite is despicable.

A generation ago I’d have laughed it off if I were him. In the craziness of 2025, I’d take it dead seriously.

It's despicable and fueled by gambling on games where people lose money on the performance of these athletes.

That’s ridiculous. As if he did it on purpose. He’s been out for 2 years and finally worked his way back to the Bigs. Some people suck.

Have yet to see screenshots of any death threats. You would think in this day and age of social media we would have seen them by now

In a country of 300 million there will be a few that say dumb shite, see the poli board.

Such a pussy

from a fan base that attacks players on the field.. tosses garbage etc

For those not following tennis, a lot of the time if you search a tennis player's name (whether from the main tour or even, fairly often, the "minor leagues") after he/she has lost a match, the most vile things are said about them.

And they're often targeted with DM's too, like Linda Noskova (who's mother died of cancer) on Mother's Day (LINK ).

This is almost 100% not an Astros fan and it's some moron who lost a bet.
