    Two Sports Stories

    I can include links if you'd like, there are two events, one in football and one in baseball I'd like to open for discussion.

    A wide receiver by the name of Antonio Brown in the news recently. You can YouTube his tirade at police and the mother of his children....right in front of his children. He refers to the woman using the dreaded B word. He hurls insults at the police. He uses the word 'cracker' and the banned 'N' word.....and I'd like participants here to view that video, a simple 'Antonio Brown police rant' search in google will do.

    One wonders where the MeToo movement is with this man throwing abuse at his 'ex.' Secondly, whatever AB is deemed....it won't be a racist. Because of AB's ethnicity.....he can insult the ethnicity of others and even post it on social media....and no one will use the word racist when describing Antonia Brown. I mean.....he's a "person of color" and such.....cannot be a racist. Correct?

    The next event, the cheating scandal now rocking MLB. The Astros from Houston nabbed stealing signs...not from a runner at 2nd base but using cameras and other technology, an advantage visiting teams didn't have. The Bench Coach....and then Red Sox Manager Alex Cora on that Astros team. Cora as the Red Sox Manager just had to resign in shame....but some Observers might remember Alex Cora. When his Red Sox won the 2018 title, Cora refused to visit the White House. Trump such a bad guy, wasn't caring enough about a PRico hurricane, Alex Cora......was a better man, just couldn't bring himself to accept the invitation....to our White House.

    Now caught red handed....cheating at his craft. Not only a cheat.....but a hypocrite as well.

    AB from his debacles in Pittsburgh, Oakland, and New England....and now this tirade that needs to be spoken to by those who are our racism and bigotry and misogyny definers. Those that supposedly live on the moral high ground deafen us with their silence concerning AB.

    And this little Alex Cora weasel deserves to be unemployed and shamed. How dare him as Greta would say. Playing politics, refusing to go to the White House as it's Trump who is supposedly 'corrupt'....meanwhile, Cora is openly cheating at his own craft.

    Yeah...whatever Alex. You're such the stand up Gentleman. The honest amongst us, huh Alex? Houston and Boston should be ashamed.

    MLB banned Pete Rose for life for betting on his own team (it would be much worse if he was betting against his team). What the Astro's did is much worse.
