There is NO such thing as a slippery slope, bigot. With that said, I it's time the Rockies change the mascot's name to something that isn't so close to a racial slur. Is the history of some mascot really more important than the mental health of hearing impaired POC? No. #GetRidOfDingers

My fave tweet so far:

Unbelievable. The Colorado Rockies are asking fans to shout racist comments at opposing batters, then using their mascot to provide cover. Meanwhile, THE HOUSTON ASTROS DID NOTHING WRONG

This person needed confirmation that the Colorado Rockies are agains someone screaming n*&@er at baseball game.



Exactly, which is why I rolled my eyes at the Rockies statement (yet was getting downvoted for it)

Why does anyone need outward public confirmation that the vast vast vast majority of the general public is against racism? It seems a lot easier to assume that everyone already stands against bigotry and hate instead of assuming they don’t until they “confirm” they “do”

It really all does tie back to how ridiculous social media has gotten, and how emotionally coddled people need to be.

“Please Mr. {Clothing Brand/Sports Team/Politician}, tell me again how anti-racist or unbigoted you are so I can feel good about myself and know that I support {Clothing Brand/Sports Team/Politician} that are morally superior to the {Clothing Brand/Sports Team/Politician} that other people who aren’t as morally superior to me”

I feel like these accusations are always in cities that consider themselves very anti-racist

You mean to tell me that a grown man DIDN’T yell “N%#^er” at a public event?

There’s no way it DIDN’T happen with how clearly racist the entire world is.

Rockies officially say it was not a racial slur, the guy was yelling for Dinger.
