re: Why?

I hope JBJ succeeds, wins individual awards and gets a big contract from someone not named the Red Sox

Well and Yankees for that matter but I don’t think they need him

I read that he hits free agency after the 2020 season. He is obviously one of the most elite defensive OFs in the league; however, his hitting is meh. I'll be curious to see if there is a big contract waiting for him.

I’m for him going to whoever offers him the most
Hope it’s not the Red Sox
(I can confidently say it won’t be the Yankees)

You open up your home to him on "numerous occassions", then completely shite on him as a "white Trump supporter" because he chose to exercise his right to not go visit Donald Trump?

Forgive me for finding what you said in bad taste and for finding your opinion to be in bad taste.

I just explained that. I find it in bad taste what you are doing now you sniveling little snot nosed self righteous brat. I feel certain that your daddy, or whoever it was that raised you, did a poor job doing so, I find many of your remarks on the poliboard to be ignorant and/or at best naive. I try to give you the benefit of the doubt and I’ll just downvote you if I really disagree, or upvote if I agree, and at times I have even supported you and joined in the discussion on your behalf. But I have never dragged any of your posts over into here and, if I were to ever do it, I would certainly never partially quote you in an effort to misrepresent the entire gist of the discussion or your point of view.

That’s what small-minded insecure little SJWs do ... it’s a game you play.

So let me make it clearer for you Alice.

JBJ had a chance to make a difference. Instead, he turned his back on his old friends and people who have helped him and supported him along the way and he funneled himself right down the sheeple shite chute that all SJWs allow themselves to be herded into these days and, here’s the thing. People reached out to him in advance, begged him to rethink his position. Begged him to do the right thing ... not to change who he is or pretend he’s not a black man. They, we, all begged him to use his newfound celebrity and status for good ... to really change things. We reminded him from where and whence he came and things he had said in the past knowing full well a day and time like this would come.

Instead, he ignored everyone, black and white old friends of his combined .... and yes, there were black friends begging him as well.

He chose to be a crowd follower. He’s fallen into that crowd.

So frick JBJ. He exercised his right, a lot of us are now exercising ours. He’s a solid outfielder, he’s a decent ball player with a great many God given talents .... but he’s a shite person and he is no longer considered to be a leader worthy of mine and me holding him in such high regard and I am not alone in feeling a certain sense of betrayal by Jackie.

You see, here’s where all of this is probably about to fly right over the little self righteous finger pointing SJW head of yours.

The world is confused about leadership these days. It’s all fricked up and you’re a prime example of such. You think leadership is about position, title, fame, power, wealth, who has the most followers on social media and toes the latest party-line talking-points which are usually based on a fake news false narrative, (in other words, based on political-agenda-driven lies). You people believe leadership looks a certain way .... a ball player, an actor, a pretty woman, a stylish tech billionaire, a tall dark well spoken politician.

But people like me, people who have lived long enough and tried to change things for the better by raising our own children and supporting others’ children in times of need, people who have actually built things without ever seeking fame or fortune or good looks or title or position or celebrity .... we see leadership in a different light. Leadership has nothing to do with any of those things I listed above.

Leadership has to do with problem solving and changing the order of things for the better and courage and character and collaboration and communication and humility and empathy and all the things that are vital to good leadership, making one worthy of having real life followers in search of betters lives. So no matter what a human being looks like, no matter where they come from, no matter what situations they may find themselves in ... courage always looks the same to people like me. I saw it playing ball. I saw it in the military. I saw it in business and I’ve seen it in everyday life from men and women who get up every morning and go work hard jobs with smiles on their faces while raising families and helping friends and neighbors... that’s leadership. That’s courage. Taking a stand as an individual when the mobs are doing something completely different .... that’s courage. That’s brave. That’s honorable.

JBJ proved, through his actions, that he has no courage .... he is not a leader. Now, he didn’t mind hanging around with us whitey folks and talking a good game about being a leader in the community and how he didn’t see skin color and how we all have to talk and communicate and have conversations and overcome differences in order to make the world a better place .... but when it came time to walk the walk he failed. He chickened the frick out. He took the easy path with the herd. He lacked courage. These kids around here .... they are the ones most hurt and disappointed by his actions. Great catches are not going to erase any of that because they were kids when they looked up to him .... now they are young adults and they can’t help but realize that JBJ is just another racist piece of shite and they’re all saying it. They’re hurt. They don’t understand.

So frick JBJ ... for now at least.

He’ll come back, they always do. And when he is older and wiser he’ll admit he was wrong and regret not making a real difference when he had the chance .... like Marcus Lattimore is doing now for instance. (Do you think Marcus would have boycotted a chance to go to the White House and be seen and make a difference? frick no, he’s already said he would have gone.)

And, in the meantime, perhaps, by the time JBJ sees the light you too will have grown the frick up and quit with your sniveling little sickeningly pathetic SJW bullshite or, at least if you’re going to do it don’t drag it over onto this board. We have “boarders” for a reason. Pardon the pun. Board, boarders .... get it?

Tell you what. GetCocky11. You wanna discuss our sociopolitical differences? You crave my attention to this obvious extent? Tell you what .... I’ll make it a point to show you more attention over on the PoliBoard from here on out .... ohtay sweetheart? You delicate little thing. I’m sorry for ignoring you in the past but from here on out I promise to acknowledge your existence. You will now receive X number of pats on your head over there, from me, each day.

I’ll wait now for your snarky smarmy one line acronym and emoji filled retort little fella.

Yea I’m also anti Semitic

That is what is funny. You don't know anything about me. You don't know my politics. You don't know my belief system. You don't know my age. You know absolutely zero about me. Your entire series of rants at me were born out of a joke I made wondering if you were the well-known 84 year old caller Larry..because your OP mentioned 107.5 The Game. That is all.

You came at me, then I mentioned, admittedly to get at you, your JBJ post. I guess that really set you off. I guess you really had issues with me disagreeing with you when I told you that I found your post to be in poor taste because your post length has really only grown since then.

I don't say too much, and you think you have me all figured out. You've resorted to juvenile insults ("sniveling little snot nosed self righteous brat", "sweetheart", etc.) when I have come nowhere near that level. You write so much, yet say so little. You always try to insert some sort of "I know these people" into many of your posts to make yourself look important to all of us. And then you call me the child.

You are the child. If you act in real life the same way you've been acting in this thread, then you are in fact setting a poor example. I don't know if you basically live in an echo chamber or if you're used to having people do nothing but tell you what you want to hear, but you appear to have some real issues with dissension.

I wish nothing but the best for you. Stay humble.

(edit: and it wasn't me who down-voted you.)

But I would never drag that stuff over here .... this has all been so Bushe League of you ... and I know at least that much about you.

Considering it is all part of the same website, maybe you just need to get over it.

why did you take it so personally when I responded with my 11 year old joke about you?

Your definition and my definition of "taking it personally" are obviously very different.

get-in my treadmill time and burn off some of this exasperation I feel towards you at the moment.

The fact that you even feel exasperation right now about me is very telling. It is the Internet. If it upsets you in real life, then you should probably take a break.

Getcocky11 how many times does Rooster have to tell you to back off? Meet him on the political board like he said geesh.

I believe we are done now. We keep our fighting in house on this board. Or so I'm told.

I would politely ask you to stay out of this one, though. While nothing like this, he and I have had one or two arguments that go back before your time on this website if I remember correctly.

Yea let em be.
This is fun to read.
