Follow the NFL's lead and dock them a draft pic and a half million dollars? Long suspension for Turner? Take the Series win away? To me the draft pick and cash option is the best.

elizium Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Much like the Notre Dame students, who shouldn't have ran on the field, I have trouble with the idea of punishing Turner for an institutional failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 I am gonna link to the Jeff Passan article again because I think what it refers to is basically the middle section of this story https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/30220736/why-tony-la-russa-sincerely-curious-choice-white-sox-manager Basically La Russa was VERY anti Colin Kaepernick It is actually the 2nd time Passan wrote about it - the first time was back in 2016 https://sports.yahoo.com/news/the-hypocrisy-of-tony-la-russa-and-the-understandable-fears-of-black-baseball-players-045857175.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
