Sounds like you're not familiar with the actual details. It's not like he's some racist jerk who was talking shit. A slip of the tongueβeven an incredibly unfortunate oneβisn't the same as popping off at the mouth, nor does it prove someone is racist nor bad.
Explain how.

Criminally low (obviously).
Or what about when the team filed for bankruptcy while owners used it as their personal piggy bank?
That history?
The Dodgers aren't just the "moneyed Goliath" that people find easy to attack.
Some are coming for dodger fans around social justice I'm sure... But there are reasons.
blatant tax loophole that it is, one that "exacerbates income inequality."
And that's before we get to the owner (Mark Walter) with connections to private prisons that operate ICE detention centers and surveillance companies that build systems for immigration enforcement!!!
Well, evil. Obviously. Fast forward to today: Shohei Ohtani's gets his contract structured to avoid $100 million in California state taxes through deferred compensation. A scheme so blatant that California's Senate passed a resolution calling it out as the...
Then they were forcibly evicted by the police bulldozers literally destroyed their homes while media cameras recorded people being dragged from the scene.
That's the home of the Dodgers! Okay but sure, sure, go back that far and every team has some evil, of course, cause the mega rich are...
"Know your baseball history"? Okay let's talk history then.
The Dodgers built their stadium on land that was stolen from Mexican-American families in through eminent domainβfamilies who were promised, I should add, public housing that never came!
(I was a huge fan of his before that contract I should mention. Now the nice guy "class" is irrelevant to me).
So you refuse to acknowledge the problem with that thing? The thing the state has scrambled to try and address with laws because it's blaring obvious that billionaires shouldn't be able to evade California taxes? That is a problem. Period.
No such thing as an ethical billionaire. Eat the rich.
Kershaw I respect, however. He's been our respected rival for so many years.
Sour grapes? Really? I love you Barry, but you do realize this guy genuinely suggested (and got) a contract to avoid paying 100 million dollars in tax revenue to the state that made him a billionaire... How do you justify that? Fuck him forever.
Ohtani is a tax evading billionaire. That's not storybook (well, it is in a society that fetishizes wealth, abuse of power, and the elite I suppose).
Yes... Unless the Dodgers win. Fuck those guys. π€¬
The #SFGiants announced today that they have named Tony Vitello the 40th field manager in club history.
Amen!
Another Gem.
In fact!* π
Still using 2000 here! Used it today in fact?
I have much more I could say. Dm me for a chat if you'd ever like! I'm approach rum expert, currently rum... Disciple. π
Those are nice indeed! I'd say for mai tai though you need some funk.
Denizen 8 is great and widely available and cheap. It's literally created for mai tai. If you can find Coruba, it's great for that and if not, sub Myers or similar.
What rums do you have?
Exactly! Top spot has to be never gets old imo.
Exactly! π
I love a mai tai. I'll share my recipe if you're interested. It's essentially Garrett Richard's mai tai but with homemade orgeat. π
Not THE best, but top 5. I don't wanna drink 3 painkillers. But I will drink 3 mai tai. π
Also, I'd make you a painkiller that will rock your world. Famous in my group of friends and family. π
Wishing the Valkyries good luck in the postseason π
