    Fauci funded GOF research in China.

    That had nothing to do with Trump, except Trump should've fired Fauci when he found out what Fauci was doing. Truth is Fauci should be tried for treason. Trump F'ed up when he took Fauci's advice.

    We all have political opinions here and it is not difficult to find places to talk about them. This is not that place. This place is for baseball. There are plenty of people here that push the limits of collegiality on both sides of politics. I was recently accused of racism by a couple of our friends for disagreeing with their take on a race related baseball development program. I have not and will not respond because I value the intent of limiting discussion here to the sport we all love. I am asking you to do the same.

    Pfffft give me a ****ing break, snowflake. Nobody definitively accused you of racism. My comment, which was a response to you injecting the term “politics”, said your point of view was either short-sighted, ignorant, or racist. In your case I would lean toward ignorant. But the fact that you come here and make a comment referencing my comment by saying “I’m not going to respond”, is, in fact, a response, and the exact opposite of “limiting discussion here to the sport we all love.”

    Yet, you respond. You strike me as the kind of person who rarely changes his worldview or admits he is wrong. LOOK INWARD.

    Yes isn't there a forum here dedicated to this bullshit. I came here to here about the passing of an Astros ****ing Legend and I gotta read this bullshit. This is about JR Richard. Take that bullshit somewhere else
    RIP Mr. Richard. Before my time but I've seen the highlights and heard the stories. I'm not gonna feel sad about what could have been. I'll be happy knowing for about 5 years. You were one of the most bad ass and scary pitchers to take a mound

    Watch it. YOU'RE joining in the politics with editorial content. Some might call it hypocritical.

    I'll always remember that time clear lake elementary school burned down and they bused us to another school a ways away. We had to integrate into their classes at this new school...forget the name. Anyway, there was a kid in one of my classes and all the whispers were "That's J.R. Richard's cousin!". There were some "oooh's" and "aaah's". So, everyone was kind of trying to get a signed baseball or something...lol. Just kidding on that last sentence...albeit I think the thought crossed my mind at one point. But, I'll always remember J.R. and definitely watched him pitch albeit don't remember anything in particular about it. Did I go to a game he started? Don't know. Possibly.

    who would've thought a necrobump (also, why was this thread even bumped) could turn into what we're seeing on this page

    How about all of yall take the political **** to the correct forum?

    I like your baseball comments but I am and have always been very conservative

    I shouldn’t get called a shitbird because you disagree with my views and are mad at someone else

    There is a place for this kind of crap, it’s just that it’s not on the Astros forum

    You took something that wasn’t in anyway racist and decided to inject racial elements into it. That particular interaction was 100% made political by you.
