He views are gross and dehumanizing. But the point I’m making is that by someone here bringing it up… they are doing the same thing. 

This is nonsensical.

Calling Brennaman out years later on a message board is talking about something that’s is no longer baseball related but was just an opportunity for someone to state a political belief. 
 

it’s not baseball. Just like Brennaman saying what he said wasn’t about baseball. 
 

it’s literally the same thing.

I can't possibly put my finger on what the objectionable "political belief" is from making fun of Thom Brennaman. Nope, that's a real brain-buster.

very important: thom brennaman should be clowned on from here to eternity for his dumbass comments.

A person showing their ignorance while making a bigoted remark isn’t the same thing as pointing out a person made a bigoted remark. And it’s not political either. 
 

And your attempt to stifle other people’s voices has taken this thread off of baseball talk more than anything else posted in here

Pretty much "the intolerance of intolerance is the REAL intolerance" territory.

Like, this is little different than if we were making fun of him for ripping a gigantic fart on air; it's horsefeathers funny to make fun of him because he's such a complete and total jackass.

Can’t we just talk baseball? 

Says the dude who brought up politics?

Well, I see you guys have it handled.

I love NSBB.  I didn't even have to do anything but use reactions to the various replies, you guys had it covered.

It is extremely easy to not say slurs while you have a microphone on, making fun of him for that alone is completely fair game and should be done often. Also he was quite plainly a jackass long before he started saying slurs into microphones, so that helps.

I totally get it. Brennaman was wrong.

let’s just talk baseball. 

No. You're the one derailing this by trying to claim a basic point of human decency is 'political.'

Anyone from the “we should have sold our guys for mid-level prospects” crowd care to chime in?

But for the record I did say to keep Bellinger and extend him, but trade Stroman, Hendricks, and whoever else they can that not going to be a part of near future.

What's the "societal issue" you've got an issue with?
