NEW: The Rockies tell me last night’s incident was a fan shouting to get the attention of the Rockies mascot Dinger, not a racial slur. The Rockies have spoken to the fan who confirms this is the case. They’ve also reviewed video from the local broadcast

These two pieces of shite are proof that when victimhood becomes currency, fraud will inevitably occur.

Rockies retweeted a reporter saying it was “dinger” but haven’t released their own statement yet.

Oh I’m sure they did, not doubting it. Just think if they released that big statement yesterday they should release another today to correct it and apologize to the guy.

Wow the rockies didn't even apologize on twitter themselves. They just retweeted a rockies beat writer who apologized.

Rockie's Twitter Page

ETA: They may be preparing something more official to release later.

I just have trouble buying that some clown would actually yell that word twice around a huge crowd of people but lets say he did, he just walked off and nobody knew who it was? Nobody confronted him? Nobody reported him?


I went to a Blazers - Pels playoffs game a few years ago where a guy a few rows down from me was shouting profanities at the refs every time the Blazers didn’t get a 50/50 call. Eventually at some point either in the early part of the 4th Q, he said he was going to kill the refs and cut off their heads. Within a minute security came over. He didn’t say a word the rest of the game.

If some dude is shouting the N-word TWICE I guarantee he’d have been escorted out. But the woke More Soy Board and check marks on Twitter all said he did!

Been to nearly every pro sport in America, and the only ones i hear yelling any type of racial obscenities, are the Mexicans.

They not only yell homo phobic shite, but will also use many other colorful racial obscenities.

@BrosDonkey · 7m Replying to @harding_at_mlb and @Rockies Just to be safe, please change Dinger’s name immediately. Can go with Mussy, Wenis, Rassbowl, Lagina, etc. Don’t take any chances for future misunderstandings.

Well at least we got everyone on record saying it’s not appropriate to yell racial slurs.

What has been CNNs take?
I assume it's as predictable as the plot of a Hallmark movie.

Which plot, where the Girl and her family own a farm, and a big bad business man is going to take it, and the daughter falls in love with big bad companies sales guy, but he turns from heel to good guy and buys it all??

Or They own a bakery and the business was some how bought up by a big conglomerate, but daughter has 2nd thoughts, and the nice looking guy, who was in first story i posted also, comes to her aid, and buys the company back to give to her??

If i told all 4 of their plots, then i'd ruin the plot lines for when they get stuck watching these movies with the OL.
