That, and there would be 500 tweets about how Leyland is a racist. CNN, ESPN, Good Morning America, etc, etc, etc, would run countless stories about Leyland being a racist. After a few days he'd be forced to either grovel and apologize or be fired.

Men used to be able to argue and sometimes physically fight to work out their differences, then respect each other once they did.

No he wouldn't because Bonds himself loved Leyland as a manager.

'Growing up you have a lot of coaches. There have been maybe two major coaches that I've admired,' Bonds said. 'One was in Little League and he passed away before I finished that. Jim Leyland to me is the best manager I've ever played for and best friend and best person a younger person could look up to. He's probably the most positive person as a manager that I've ever been around.'
