He didn’t say it was wrong. He’s coming to the unfortunate realization there are millions of dumbasses like you that seek victimhood at every opportunity regardless of context or intent.


He's a Big Boy, he meant what he said or else he'd stick to his guns like the pitchers in San Fran. Or, he's a Pussy who backed down and opened his eyes.

Either way, he spoke and took a stance. Now let's see if his words match his actions.

quote:

No he knows that’s what he’s supposed to say because pussies from the northeast aren’t familiar with shite talking using the word boy. They get so erect to call some thing racist that they don’t want to understand context.


In the year of our Lord 2026, I've learned that if you mean it then you stand by it. If not, then you're a pussy (cat or female genitalia, take your pick). He's not getting cancelled. MLB isn't going to do a single thing, and if they did then MLBPA would fight the league on any penalities.
I understand smack talk and the intentionally of demeaning language. Calling someone a slow frick after getting thrown out by a mile. Calling someone an Old Man or an Old frick before or after making a good play where athleticism beat out experience. Calling someone a Stupid frick because they made an inexcusable error. calling someone a Pussy (pussycat or female genitalia, take your pick) before or after a display of timidness.

But what does it mean to call someone Boy? I didn't grow up in the South. I played a variety of sports growing up and I never remember anyone calling someone Boy in a demeaning way. I remember other words being used, but not that one.

BTW, Cavalli said adterwards "It hurt my heart, knowing that, if there's a 13-year-old black kid in D.C. that sees that — that looked up to me and thinks that he perceived it in a way that wasn't intended the way that it came out, and then he's not looking up to me anymore. That hurts my heart. It's really tough. I've learned a lot. The intention was perceived different than what my heart is and who I am as a person, my character,". He knew it was wrong and stated he wouldn't use Boy again in such a way. Time will tell if he means it or not.

Oh, I forgot calling someone a Fat frick because they are husky/chunky/heavy/overweight. That's demeaning but something that a person can change about themselves.
quote:

As in insult. Which it obviously was, it's just not racist.


I mean, it's disrespectful to call anyone Boy in the manner that Cavalli did so. What positive reason is there to call Wilson Contreras Boy?

Maybe this is just not something I understand because it's not a part of my culture.

In what world should Cade Cavalli use the word "Boy" directed at Wilson Contreras? Cavalli is 27 years old and Contreras is 34 years old.
Pictures Rocks National Lakeshore is worth a visit.

If you want to visit Mackinac then it's better to take the ferry from St Ignace than from Mackinaw City.

One of Saratoga’s nicknames is the “graveyard of favorites”


So I learned. I think I counted that all ten of the morning favorites lost on Wednesday. The winner of the first race, a steeplechase, had won it the previous two years but still wasn't the favorite. Two riders lost their mounts in the race.

2019 LSU never trailed in the second half of a game the entire season. The SECOND HALF.


While proven incorrect in this thread by a couple of posters, 2019 LSU only trailed a total of 45 game clock minutes. The majority of that was in the Auburn game.
Someone told me today that the Saratoga course is where favorites come to die.

I spent Wednesday at the track. Had a fun experience and great weather. Would come back for race season.

So, I don't know what to do at the moment. I'm holding one share of Micron, which I bought in December 2024. Currently it's up over 900%. Do I sell now? Wait and hope it reaches $1k?
Don't they also have to fix things in the field with limited or no help if something brakes?

Why do cops use unmarked cars?


A visible police presence should deter crime and, as others brought up, make things safer for the community. Unmarked cars bring an element of unnecessary danger into the safety equation.

Serious question- how expensive were these military schools? Was this more of a middle-upper class thing or was it affordable for lower-class families as well?

Toyota is fricking up IMO by using this tactic.


I don't know about that. Toyota (and all the brands they control) sold more vehicles globally than anyone one else last year. VW was number 2. Hyundai was number 3. Toyota sold more than 2 million vehicles than VW in that one year. I bet Toyota can adjust inventory pretty quickly if they feel a portion of the market is being lost.

Now, it's being reported that Stellantis is expecting dealers to sell 25% more vehicles than last year. I don't see how this can be achieved with the vehicles they offer without severely discounting them.
