  1. You are aware the judge who made this ruling was appointed in 1986 right?
  2. That was a different story. It was widely accepted he did beat up a heckler who had lost part of his hands in an industrial accident. This game was set in New York City at Hilltop Park which was opened in 1903, hosting the Highlanders until October of 1912, sitting in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan. On this particular Wednesday at Hilltop Park, Ty Cobb lunged into the stands and physically attacked one of the New York fans; a man by the name of Claude Lucker. Apparently, Cobb was familiar with this fan, who he claimed in his memoirs, “had ridden me hard in past New York appearances.” During the May 15 game, Cobb and Lucker reportedly exchanged insults and it go so bad after the second inning that it caused Cobb to stay in an area beyond center field rather than return to the dugout. But the time came when it was Cobb’s turned to bat, so he had to return to the dugout to get ready for his plate appearance in the fourth inning. Upon entering the dugout, Cobb shot off an insult at Lucker while Lucker continued to insult and taunt Cobb. When asked by one of his teammates what he was going to do about the heckling fan, Ty Cobb leaped into the stands and went after Lucker, who was about 12 rows back. Cobb persisted to knock Lucker down and began kicking and punching him. Making matters worse, Claude Lucker was a man who had lost eight fingers due to an industrial accident and was limited in his ability to defend himself against Cobb’s attack. Fans yelled to Cobb “He has no hands!”, but Cobb replied, “ I don’t care if he has no feet,” as he continued to punch and kick him until the two men were separated.
  3. People in sports talk trash and will find anything they can to do it. The racial stuff goes both ways. We just don't hear it much because in most sports, fans aren't close enough to see or hear. A guy who goes to the same gym as I do played offensive line in the NFL for a number of years. He doesn't get into specifics, but he says there is a lot of NSFW talk going on down there that few people ever hear. He did say one of his teammates was mic'd up for a game and he figured out how to break it when he realized they would hear everything he said. It's just a part of sports where millions of dollars are at stake. So even if that is what she said, it's not exactly surprising. Athletes sometimes take exception to things said, like Ron Artest, or Vernon Maxwell. Even hall of famer Ty Cobb beat up a handicapped man who had the audacity to suggest that Cobb and or his mom might have been partially black. Ultimately these kinds of things are rarely a big deal until punches get thrown.

  5. So you're admitting it is racist. Good to know.

  7. Up until 9/11, the deadliest terrorist attacks in this country were all perpetrated by angry white supremecists/militia/anti government types. Kind of says something. Quick trivia, without Google, though I'm sure most of you will, 9/11 also took a rather infamous record away from another incident in New York City. What was it?
  8. I like how Cav/JimmySpeaks gets so mad about this. But then turns around and insists that Trump supporters and Trump himself are definitely not racist.
  9. So the Governor is secretly in control of a federal agency and got them to drop the charges?
  10. Looks like the Utah guy didn't shoot anyone and somebody jumped the gun (no pun intended) and thought he was a danger and shot at him and killed somebody by accident.
  11. There's a reason Trump has courted white nationalist types for years.
  12. This isn't anything new.
  13. Gotta be angry at somebody
  14. Brentwood: The Brentwood town charter says "Every person shall be a qualified voter who (a) is a citizen of the United States or, if not a citizen, is a lawful resident as defined by US Citizen and Immigration Services to reside in the United States ... (c) is a resident of the Town of Brentwood, (d) has resided within the corporate limits of the town for one year ... ."
  15. But there are separate registration forms for different levels. For example, you can register as a federal only voter. Also there's only about 20 towns or places that allow non citizens to vote, and it is explicitly in local elections only. The 1996 immigration bill passed by Congress makes voting for federal office illegal for non citizens.
  16. That's what the census is.
  17. The guy who they arrested who was apparently trying to kill him actually voted for Trump.
  18. The grift continues. It'll go belly up like most of his other businesses. Trump Shuttle, Trump Steaks, Trump Mortgage it just keeps going. And the idiots who buy this won't mind because Trump is mean to colored people.
  19. She may or may not. It's unclear exactly. But she's not transgender so she doesn't belong in this conversation.
  20. That didn't sound like one. Also the answer is none. Your opinion can be your own, but the facts are the facts.
  21. Then why did you ask if you were going to ignore the answer?
