    lol 90% of Dodgers fans don't care if he gets suspended next year, they just want it to be this series because they've lost hope from Yuli tearing them a new *******.

    Is it bad that my phone autocorrects Gurriel to Burrito? I’ll send it off to Android sensitivity training.

    Sounds very authoritative and scientific. What do you mean by "white people" anyway and which ills are they responsible for, and which are they not? To me that is as silly as collectively blaming problems on "Asians" when there are billions of us. Which caucasian religion/ethnicity is most at fault in your view? You say that "whites" perpetuate all this evil but every one in real life I meet is as indoctrinated as you about how awful they are. It really is nauseating (and can you explain how it helps anything?)

    I agree with you that all idiotic diatribes against "whitey" should be moved to D&D. This thread is about baseball (I think).

    Generally baseball suspensions get reduced. They tend to err on the high side.

    I hope Gurriel sticks it to Manfred and appeals this ridiculous suspension. Harper got 4 games for fighting (reduced to 3). “Homophobic slurs” got a 2 game suspension earlier this season.

    Yuli got scapegoated. If this was in a regular season game it would have gone nearly unnoticed. The MLB knew a WS suspension would have been too harsh, but considering other guys only got 2 game suspensions this season for homophobic slurs (more offensive IMO) they had to make a statement. I think 2 games next season would have been appropriate. 5 games is due to fear of backlash. All things considered 5 games in a 162 game season is not a big deal and I am thankful there is no WS suspension.

    Final takeaway: when it comes to offending any group of people, professional athletes had better tread very, very lightly. The tension is so high right now.

    5 game? Damn, but I am glad the comish had to common sense to not punish the rest of the teammates for this series.

    Win the WS, then worry about 2018 later.

    I don't know what that is but apparently you do and where to find it. Maybe you can spit on a few white people while you're there?

    I work and raise kids for a living and don't have time to dwell on the "race" struggle and project my problems onto an entire ethnic group. What an exciting life you must have.

    Or we could stop dwelling on this non-issue and focus on baseball. Just a thought.

    Which ones?

    -The founding fathers who had slaves
    -Andrew Jackson
    -Every white American who committed genocide on Native Americans
    -Everyone on the confederate side of the civil war
    -Jim Crow era southern policy makers and enforcers.
    -The KKK
    -The white people who blocked the University of Alabama against whom the national guard had to be called in
    -the white supremacists who pledged their support for Trump who have “very good people” among their ranks.

    Do you want me to go on? I literally have 100 more groups of white people I can list. Maybe you can figure out what they all have in common yourself.

    Feel free to create a thread in the D&D.

    It's ironic Yuli's eyes look more Asian than Darvish's.

    I don't think you know what a scapegoat is.


    Don't play dumb my alt-right friend. You showed your cards - now you want to run away from it.
