I work at Ohare aiport and asked him who he thinks the Cubs will have at shortstop next season. "hoping for Furcal his range and arm are a huge plus for are pitching staff" I asked what he thought of Nomar returning "Nomars injuries has really hurt his range and ability to play shortstop". Asked if he had to bet who would be playing right field . " I hope we can get a guy like Jacques Jones he runs really well, and can catch the ball " These are rough qoutes he was sort of in a hurry but I hope he's wrong about Jones.

Holy crap, is EVERYONE in the organization going to use this excuse to pick up crappy hitters?

Why don't we just bring in Carl Lewis to play RF? I hear he can run pretty well.

 

He's old and homosexual.

I don't think that comment was necessary or factual. There's no need to bring up someone's sexuality.

Sorry if it was inapporpriate, but i'm pretty sure he's admitted he is.

Before the 1984 Games, a Sports Illustrated story implied that Lewis was gay. Since then, he has been dogged by insinuations about his sexual orientation, much to his consternation. In his 1990 autobiography, he vehemently denied being gay.

 

Don't see what that has to do with him playing OF for the Cubs though?

And if he were, does that somehow make him less of an athlete? The comment was uncalled for.

O.K. I've already apologized. Let it die. And yes, it would probably have some effect on the clubhouse.

You should have asked about why we go hacking at first pitches against notably wild pithers on a regular basis? And how anyone with sense on the staff would allow Neifi and Macias to bat one and two in the order and not mention something to Dusty about it?

So what? If Ellen Degeneres could hit 40 HRs and play a solid CF, I'd be begging JH to sign her up.

PC police on full alert tonight, huh? I gather from this thread it is OK to call people [expletive] (since no one made a peep in response to that) but calling someone homosexual really is going over the line.

Drop it. If and when you see something that is inappropriate, let a mod know and one of us will deal with it. We aren't online every minute of every day in every single thread.

Because his post implied that sexual orientation somehow had bearing on his ability to be an athelete. It's a completely offensive term, and offensive post. I'm embarrased to have read it.

 

Also, if you want to get into a grammatical battle, the word "[expletive]" can be used without derogatory connotations to the mentally handicapped. I don't like using the adjective myself, but it's not offensive on it's own, depending on the context.
