No, it's fucking awful.

They might as well have gone with The Cleveland Human Beings or The Cleveland We Really Searched For A Name That Nobody Could Ever Find Offensive.

Rockies might need a new name for their mascot.

The black player in question hears the slur rather than "Dinger".

This is interesting because all the evidence says the guy was trying to get a photo with Dinger and not yelling at the player at all. You hear what you want to hear I guess?

Dammit. My PC rebooted, and even clean it decided that audio would fail and I cannot hear any videos right now.

Holy fucking shit. I ran the W10 troubleshooter, and it worked.

Based on that video, how in the fuck did this even become a story? What Karen reported the incident in the first place? That's who needs to be banned.

Also, if the player watched that video and still hears "*igger", then he clearly has some issues he needs to figure out.

The fucking guy isn't even looking in his direction and is obviously yelling to the stupid dinosaur.

Not sure if I should be happy for you or wonder if this is a sign of the end...

Well, bad news, I looked it up in Revelations, and we're doomed.

I hope so.

The story of Brinson claiming to hear the N word is still a top story on ESPN's page. The story does NOT contain the video Catt linked above, which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the guy was yelling "Dinger" and not even looking in the player's direction.

Fuck ESPN.

I would never advocate violence, but when insane left and right wingers start bombing MSM outlets like Fox, CNN, ESPN, etc. I'm going to give the world a big "I told you so".

Right? That guy gives ZERO SHITS about who is at bat.

That's what really pisses me off. ESPN is clearly playing the story for clicks at the expense of society.

At some point in my life, I thought I could be a solid ombudsman for news sites.

But, it turns out, businesswise, no one cares.

The coolest thing MLB has ever done ruined by greed.

Mets players are booing their fans.

I know this isn't MLB. Deal with it.

Random encounter with a TV on ESPN showed that Michigan had a team in the little league world series. I looked it up today to find that they won! Turns out they faced Ohio! I watched the highlights and it was pretty cool. Both teams turned a double play. Our starting pitcher was really good. Second pitcher, not so much. The 20 minute version of a baseball game is far more fun to watch than real time. Even though I knew how it turned out, it was still cringey when Ohio would have the bases loaded. But our pitcher would come through.

I thought the kids put on a good show for being 9-12 years old.

Watching the kids is a lot more fun than their professional counterparts.
