OT: UGA Baseball Player Dismissed for Slurs

[305to954]

CNN and MSNBC have democratic leaning biases. MSNBC is the counterpart to Fox News.

So far, best mainstream news source I found is BBC News. Always good to get an outsider perspective.

True but BBC pedals to their own audience also..and your right about msnbc and cnn that are more left. But they don’t pedal absolute nonsense. Like fox questioning Obama’s citizenship, rather he was a Muslim and other crazy ****.

To me if it’s on Fox it’s pitched to that brainwashed audience. Do that they wrap it up diff, sure. But it’s all the same. Personally I try to watch both spectrums. But the **** Fox peddles is such blantant propaganda. CNN and MSNBC push liberal views too but they def fact check wayyy more than Fox

Fox business is totally different. They don't really push a certain agenda. It is like how on fox sports you won't be getting conservative propaganda pushed at you during the game.

First off I was talking fox business not fox news. We have a booming economy right now, CNN and all the lying liberal news just bashes Trump you never hear the Truth. The rich liberals who own those stations are brain washing you. Anytime I have a question I start digging, I don't believe anything without doing my own homework. 95% of liberal news just bashes Trump they don't want him in there they are all paid for puppets. Trump just closed two more trade deals with Mexico and CA great for our dairy farmers and auto workers, with huge benefits to American workers. Did you hear that on CNN? Of course not. The rich want open borders so the can keep wages low. You know about supply and demand right? Please start doing your homework the truth is easy to find.

By any chance, do u think your brainwashed by Fox News ?? Or your sources from your own “research” Your basically peddaling one side of the argument..your 100% sure your view is correct ? And FYI cnn and msnbc did cover the new trade deal. They aired it

 

[TerragonSix]

It really isn't a double standard. It is the way the word is used. For example. If I went to a fat person and said "You are unhealthily obese" they would most likely get offended, but if a doctor told a patient the same thing that no be offensive. In fact it would be beneficial. Asians and Latinos say the word all the time and it is OK because they are not being racist about it. You even see white people from the hood and white rappers, etc. using it and no one really cares because they are not using it as a slur.

My point is though, that a black guy would never get released from a program for calling a white bread, "Cracka" in an offensive, racially motivated way.

Whats good for one should be good for all.

Remember when MSNBC said Hillary Clinton had a 95% chance of winning the election?

Remember how they completely ignored Operation Fast and Furious when Obama was in office?

Remember when they criticized him for reenacting the Patriot Act and unilaterally sending guns to child soldiers in Africa? (They didn't)

And they didn't because he was a democrat.

I don't mind honest, investigative reporting. If Trump was caught with his hand up Putins ***, thats fine, report all the facts and lets get that ******* out of office.

But don't pretend the Democrats are the shining savior of the United States. They aren't.

Journalism is supposed to be unbiased, highly ethical and painstaking fact checked so that the public is aware of the facts.

The problem is these big media outlets can and will use 'sources' for a sensational story, and if it turns out not to be true, the 'sources' are wrong. Peoples lives have been ruined by this sort of tactic.

Its essentially the same ploy used by supermarket tabloids to avoid lawsuits.

I just want cold, hard facts. Period.

idk man when I’m watching fox sports I still get the botton up “right” approach . I can tell it’s fox if you know what I mean. They all peddle the same views when talking sports imo. Now with them early shows on FS1 with skip and Shannon and Chris carter and that skinny white guy it’s been a diff flavor the last few years. Maybe it’s just my preconceived notion on fox but when I’m watching I’m always hesitant

I don't really think that is true. Had Fromm used the slur he would not have been released either. It was a UGA baseball player making fun of a UGA football player. UGA sucks at baseball and they are making fun of a member of the sports team that pays for their team to even be able to exist. If a black baseball player called Fromm the C word I would be very surprised if he was not kicked off the team as well.

This is how i see it. If you like this guy, we don't have anything in common. Its a cult. There is nothing that he says or does you wont support. There is no in between, you stay on your side and i stay on mine. We gonna ride this out until he's either voted out, impeached, arrested, or all of the above. I said as much as i would say, which if it wasn't a canes site, which means u prolly have some sense, otherwise it would have been nothing. I have no interest in hearing why you are a member of his cult.

So you're a racist good to know. He won't be voted out, impeached or arrested, if he runs next time he'll win easy if the economy stays like this. Some people can put their personal feelings aside when the country is doing better than it has in a long long time. He's working for nothing not taking a pay check. He's fixing the messes from the past 4 presidents. Trade deals, North Korea, Iran, lowered taxes so the rich companies could bring their money back. Tariffs helping our steel and alu companies. Tariff solar panels and other things from China, now some American panel makers are coming back. Stop being so hateful, yes Trump can be a prick he's from the NE just like me originally, but he's doing good things. Listen you're not my enemy you're my American brother, if we ever meet I'm going to give you a big hug you can bank on it.

I mean I agree with your sentiment. Every news agency panders to their demographic. Its just that fox business and fox sports are not on the level of fox news.

Yea Tactics like fast n furious under obama have been used by both sides (war on drugs under Republicans admin ). Too me tactics like that are a federal agency prob. That’s a long convo to have. But yea the buck stops with the pres ultimately... but Bruh everybody had Hillary up if I remember correctly, even fox and the local networks...&I’m a independent lol. Tend to lean/vote Democrat. But OFC your right. The media has ALWAYS pushed a certain agenda. Ppl act like it’s somethng totally new

I don't ever recalling a black player getting kicked off a team for racial insults. Not on college, not in the pros.

Fwiw, feel free to call me Cracka. Its fine with me, this white bread owns it. xD

Playing college basketball I heard plenty of that, mostly because I played PF in a Joe Dumars, Dennis Rodman, Bill Laimbeer kind of way.

I didn't mind it either, I liked to trash talk and get physical as well.

Back when basketball was basketball...
:/

Part of the problem is how the political slanting is so pandering now, its ridiculous. News media outlets used to be slightly (or appear slightly), in order to keep the illusion of journalistic integrity.

Nowadays, MSNBC and Fox News might as well have a big neon sign that says, "If you're a Republican or Democrat, tune to this channel or you're a traitor."

They really think we're idiots.

The problem with them is they are very liberal over there, you will never see the truth on whats going on over there. I have a couple thousand twitter followers from Europe you get the news first hand in minutes.

Exactly what has he done that’s tangible in Iran, North Korea other than tweet and have photo ops..last I read there’s high evidence that NK is still working on their nuclear program. We need China to do more there but trump won’t say/do nothing strong against China..and Iran? Really? All he did was overturn what Obama got done out of spite..HE HAS LITERALLY SIGNED NO DEAL WITH IRAN..no matter how much he tweets about it

I mean there is 250 million white people in America and 40 million blacks. Statistically more white people will get in trouble for using a racial slur then black people purely because their is more than 6x the amount of them. In this climate if you use a racial slur you will get kicked off the team. I know of black people who have been fired from their jobs for using slurs. Also, really forget about the c word. Imagine if a player called a white ****** person the K word? That player would be expelled immediately. The K word is a lot more similar to the N word then it is to the C word.

Facts, but bruh to be honest I’d rather them have the neon signs so we know what’s what you feel me..I’d rather source both then formulate my own opinion..but I’ll never expect a journalist or the media pundits and the ones in charge to be able to keep their own biased options or if those paying them out of their work

 

[CaneOil]

He is token blackie because you made him one by thinking you should say he's black so i would be ok listening to whatever he's saying. I did not question his knowledge, don't know the guy. I doubt i will listen to it. I try not to listen to state run propaganda

I said it because I thought you might be more comfortable watching a black man because you have so many issues with white people. I watch him because I find him one of the best at what he does. Come on man, you gotta break down that wall, I promise you'll feel better if you do. Again, you're not my enemy and never will be.

In division I college football, 55% of the participants are black. So blacks would have a slightly higher percentage of getting caught using a racial slur.

Not that it matters much.

**** if I were playing in college today, I couldn't play. I would get double teched in the first ten minutes. Probably get kicked off the team for telling an opponent, "You can't guard me holmes. This is where the big boys play."

 

[AllbouttheU]

No place in this country for that word? I agree! Yet - I hear African Americans say this word everyday. The hypocrisy is absurd. Jay-Z can create an album, drop that word 50 times and make a million dollars - but this kid gets kicked out of school and off his scholarship. We have to be able to have honest conversations about this and not default to bankrupt morals that are logically flawed from the start.

What’s the word? Say it. Yeah you won’t because you know how offensive it is.

 

[TerragonSix]

***** ***** ***** Im 200% *****.

I dont say it because its offensive. I say it because I really don't care who says it.

Are we as a society so fragile that we collectively seize up because of a word, that originally came from the spanish word '*****', which means black?

****, in my day, saying 'colored people' was considered racist, now you have folks saying, 'people of color', and thats okay?

WHAT THE **** SENSE DOES THAT MAKE?
