Addison Russell

[Sammy Sofa]

Guys, we can at least agree that while all types of crap smells bad, normal crap doesn't smell AS bad as crap when you've had intestinal bleeding?

[minnesotacubsfan]

So because a guy has different opinions than you, that makes him a horsefeathers person? I 100% disagree with Murphy but it’s his opinion. And my guess is, he’s far from the only one on the Cubs that disagrees with the gay lifestyle.

 

Opinions deserve scorn if they're [expletive] opinions. A white supremacist holds the opinion of racial superiority, and he should absolutely be vilified for such a thing. Holding horsefeathers opinions absolutely makes someone a horsefeathers person.

 

Yes, they’re both scummy. But can we at least agree that there’s a big difference between the white supremacist whose white supremacy is limited to point of view and the one who actually acts upon it?

 

sure there is a difference. One is acting on their views and the other is either about to or actively enticing others to do so. If you legitimize scumbaggery by supporting it in any way, you are at fault. period.

What do you mean acting upon it? Does voting in accordance with your shitty opinion count? Does announcing your [expletive] opinion to the fans of the team that you play for count? Does mocking them when asked about your shitty opinion count?

Russell not in the lineup today. I wouldn't be surprised if there's more to come there since Joe and Co. seemed to be hinting at a Schwarber LF/Russell SS/Murphy DH alignment earlier this week.

What a POS scumbag, and a lot of great points made in this thread and some terrible ones too.

"Richard Spencer has merely excused and encouraged hatred and violence towards minorities; he has never actually curb-stomped anyone. Totally fine."

while this is positive, it could be more of a 'keeping him away from the team while we figure horsefeathers out/hope it blows over' than a 'this guy will not be on our team anymore'

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Like I said back in July, Addison Russell is crappy.

Theo is addressing the team? Interesting

[SouthSideRyan]

I'd always thought Barry Larkin was a pretty nice guy.

[Cubswin11]

Send him away, Theo

I hope the Cubs suspend him without pay and get him some help. Kicking him to the curb only eliminates the symptom. They need to try to cure the problem.

One can only hope she has full custody of their son & he only has supervised visitation. Whether or not he has done something, doesn't negate his obvious potential to harm that child or his other children.

I'm not sure that they can suspend him without pay if he hasn't been actually charged with a crime.

Yeah that might be a little hard to do, putting him on the restricted list is probably the thing to do

[Cubswin11]

Ricketts, Maddon, Jed and Theo are all meeting right now apparently

So we can blame all of them if they come out of this with nothing but words.

I don't know MLB's rules, but the NFL does this all the time. The non-guaranteed contracts may have something to do with that, of course. Has the NBA suspended players without pay?

[minnesotacubsfan]

horsefeathers it. we're better off with a Baez/Happ : Baez/Zo infield anyway

it's going to be swell in 2019 when russell comes back from a domestic violence suspension, and gets a standing ovation in his first wrigley at-bat
