Pete Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 On 8/1/2020 at 3:50 AM, Tabe said: Fair enough. That's more than just him not kneeling. I assume Coonrod is referring to the "disrupt the (...) nuclear family" plank of BLM but I obviously don't know. I will say this though - no one should get grief for not kneeling, same as no one should get grief for kneeling. Here's the full quote from the BLM website, because, yanno, context. Honestly, the entire statement is interesting and kind of wholesome. Quote We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable. I'm shocked that everyone is sleeping on Coonrod's line about not kneeling before anyone besides God. First off, I'm willing to bet good money that he isn't the only Christian on the team... by framing his refusal to kneel in that manner, he threw all of those teammates under the bus because he's just that much better a Christian than they are, by cracky. Some teammate. Secondly, there's this (comments are now "limited," quelle surprise): Are you really going to tell me he didn't take a knee when he proposed? I dunno, I'm part of the tribe so maybe I just don't know the ritual. Do y'all walk over to the lucky lady, whack her with a bible and tell her "congrats, we're engaged?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care that he apologized. Oakland needs to fire this piece of shit and be done with it. BTW, the A's manager, Bob Melvin is Jewish. That's going to make for some awkward conversations between the two. Edited August 7, 2020 by Nice Guy Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Quote Christenson says the whole thing was born out of an attempt to be more COVID-conscious. "Today in the dugout I greeted players with a gesture that was offensive. In the world today of [COVID-19] I adapted our elbow bump, which we do after wins, to create some distance with the players." https://www.tmz.com/2020/08/07/oakland-as-ryan-christenson-nazi-salute-game-apologizes/ Riiight...

Tabe Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Astros' hitting coach Alex Cintron apparently decided it was a good idea to challenge an A's player to a fight after first insulting his mother.

Wasn't Damon one of the high profile players since the Red Sox/Yankees feud went to DEFCON 1 to switch teams? Of course that's the guy who wants Fenway to reopen to fans...

John from Cincinnati Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 IIRC, we were told to keep the Astros stuff in this thread. Emphasis mine. Quote "The people who took the fall for what happened is nonsense," Kelly said. "Yes, everyone is involved. But the way that [sign-stealing system] was run over there was not from coaching staff. ... They're not the head boss in charge of that thing. It's the players. So now the players get the immunity, and all they do is go snitch like a little b----, and they don't have to get fined, they don't have to lose games." ... "When you take someone's livelihood ... to save your own ass, that's what I don't like," Kelly said. "Cheating? They cheated. Everyone knows they're cheaters. They know they're cheaters. It's over. That's been there, done that. But now they mess it up by ruining other people's lives, so they f---ed it up twice. ... When you taint someone's name to save your own name, this is one of the worst things that you could probably do. ... That really friggin' bugs me. I think I'll be irritated forever." Kelly spoke of how much he cared about Cora, and how Cora's life has been changed by the fallout. Cora would love to explain what happened, Kelly said, "but he hasn't, because he's a respectable man. So when [the Astros] lie" -- by deflecting blame onto staffers -- "that doesn't sit right with me." "Maybe they have called [Cora] and said, 'Hey, I'm sorry.' Or called Luhnow and said, 'Hey, I'm sorry.' Or called Hinch, and Beltran. ... If they had said, 'Hey, I'm super-scared, I didn't know what to do, I didn't want to lose money, I had to rat.' ... Grow a pair of balls and say that." Kelly said he didn't want to talk to the Astros players, "because they're not respectable men to me." https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29651830/los-angeles-dodgers-joe-kelly-sounds-houston-astros-players-handling-sign-stealing-investigation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
