sabremike Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 My first thought was to publicly execute the guy, and then I read all the fucked up stuff he went through as a kid (and it's hinted he was molested) and the whole situation is just so sad and awful.

Dolfan in NYC Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 TMZ posted a video where soon-to-be-ex San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer can be seen physically assaulting his wife. It's horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilledcheese Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I just saw it, and if that kind of shit will pop off in public, what kind of things must she endure behind closed doors? There didn't seem to be too much mind paid to the racist PAC that one of their owners was donating to, but it's lightyears easier to remove a CEO than it is an owner.

Brian Fowler Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 He grabbed the phone, her shoulder, and forced the chair over. There is no argument whatsoever that's not physical assault in a legal sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I see no grabbing of the shoulder and, as she herself has said, the chair tips over when she tries to stand up. Make no mistake - he was wrong. But he didn't push her, he didn't slap her, he didn't hit her, he didn't intentionally throw her to the ground, etc. It's a stretch - at best - to call it assault, especially since he's retrieving his own property.

Raziel Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 So, looks like A-Rod proposed to J-Lo over the weeked. Jose Canseco has been going scorched earth on Twitter blasting A-Rod and posting his actual cell number. It's quite the meltdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only tie I've worn in the last decade is my bolo with a bear's claw wrapped around a big ol' chunk of turquoise mounted on a silver backing. The "tassels" are engraved 30.06 shell casings. Looks totally badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) You don't really see bolo ties in my world, especially living in New Jersey. The traditional necktie as we think of it, yes but bolo's no. Outside of Bobby Heenan, the only person I remember wearing one since the early 90s was the kid that ran for student council president of Warnsdorfer Elementary School in 5th grade, Michael Katz. He wore a bolo when he made his speech. They also used to sell them at the retailer Merry-Go-Round, which was defunct by 1996. Why do I remember such asinine details? I don't know.

Jiji Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Look, I haven't posted because I don't think there's any value in arguing over this but after reading the responses and adjectives in this thread and elsewhere then watching the video I was confused. He is clearly in the wrong but so are ignorant posts like the above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said that anybody that thinks he was grabbing his phone is a MRA. I don't want to speak for Tabe but he said the guy was in the wrong to wrestle his phone away from her but it's pretty clear he didn't grab her shoulder and didn't hit her. I feel the reactions were OTT and at the same time think he was clearly in the wrong. I understand the thousands of years history of men physically abusing women with carte blanche and the need to stamp that shit out. However, overreactions like with this case are not the answer and I feel undermine that cause by giving the people you bring up ammunition they don't need.

I was out of line and apologize for my poor choice of words. As for Baer, he grabs her wrist and leverages her over to the ground, IMO. I have no candy for him or his apologists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
