Yeah, the white guilt today is such bullshite.
Headlines on the mothership today include Durant not visiting the White House and this shite.
Funny, Durant said that race relations were looking up with a black person in the WH lol.

Being "haunted" by this stuff is one of my favorite phrases right now. How much hyperbole can these people create? That and "my nice jeans" are at the top of my list right now.

Good call. How the frick does this 'haunt' him? Truth is...it doesn't. He just feels compelled to speak out.

He prob just wants to name it after himself. I'm sure he has a big arse ego and will use the current climate to facilitate a change.

So a legit racist may lose a street name and people want to talk about rewriting history?
Because everyone knows this is just the peak inside Pandora's box and the purge won't stop with statues and street names.
Purges don't stay small; and they tend to stick around for awhile.
It always starts small and with something most people agree about - then it morphs and grows.
On the sports front - I wouldn't be surpised if HOFers deemed racists were ex-communicated after protests.
Ty Cobb, see ya! We all feel better now, that you aren't in Cooperstown. Now Coop is a safe space for all people without your racist ghost roaming the halls. All records purged from known racists in every sport, like NCAA purges - the NCAA is the king of the Flux Capacitor.
It's going to get even weirder as sports and politics mix and ESPN (man, were they pushing this blending of two worlds early on) will be at the forefront.
Sanitizing our sports world until it resembles every SJW talking point in our culture. Red Sox should be ashamed for caving to this sports purge. If they had done it any other time, fine. But they do it directly during the time of the Statue purges.

How far are we gonna go with this? If we're going to erase everything with some trace of racism we can start with the Democratic Party, the party of the KKK.

They should name it "Garciaparra Ave"

He left on some pretty bad terms so I doubt it. I wouldn't mind Buckner Ave, because he has always caught so much shite he didn't deserve. There was no way in hell he should have been out in the field, the dude was basically a cripple at that point in his career.

Buckner Ave? You should turn your sox fan card in
Posted on 8/18/17 at 8:48 am to Jcorye1
I bet they end up doing something with Ortiz
Posted on 8/18/17 at 8:57 am to SDVTiger
I firmly stand behind my stance he gets shite on for something that wasn't his fault. It was the equivalent of putting David Ortiz in at third base for purely emotional reasons.
Posted on 8/18/17 at 8:59 am to Jcorye1
and on top of that, he has really embraced the dodgers as his organization. there are better ways to go than garciaparra. i guess ortiz, or maybe something around an older guy like williams or yastrzemski

Would be classic to replace the name with a known steroid abuser and supporter of domestic violence
