It sounds like you do admirable work. Thank you for that.
I understand the frustration with politics talk bleeding into the baseball threads. Unfortunately, Matt Shaw has positioned himself as a political personality by speaking at conservative events alongside some very controversial figures. While some here have been able to draw a line between Matt Shaw the baseball player and Matt Shaw, TPUSA speaker and personal friend to a man who got rich and built a huge following targeting marginalized groups, you’ll be hard pressed to get everyone on this board to do that.
Anyway, today is the day you decided to put your foot down, when thawv spewed blatant lies about a man who was murdered on the sidewalk by an ICE agent after being pepper sprayed and beat in the head with what appeared to be a pistol. I understand your broad point and you’ve been a good poster here for as long as this board has been around. The discussion of the murder by ICE doesn’t need to happen in this thread, but thaw’s comments were truly gross. Whether he believes the lies he was parroting or not, they have no place here. I will always call that horsefeathers out.
