The Walrus posted:if it wasn't directly targeting someone I would argue that it's an opportunity for a teaching moment, not a chance to fire someone. but yes it should be a big deal and taken seriously. No one in civil society in 2017 should be throwing that slur around, any more than racial ones that have gotten people fired. In my 21 years in the workplace I've never accidently called someone something like that, probably because it's been a firing offense for at least that long.

Yep I can totally see where you're coming from, and don't really want to make an argument out of it. But if I were an employer and someone that I thought was a respectful, good kid let slip a slur like that, it would be an opportunity to educate them about why it is unacceptable and its effects on others. What good is firing him going to do?

Fair enough. I think this could be discussed further but we're far away enough from Pillar that it should probably not happen here

I've read about six pages of Blue Jay related posting about headhunting, slurs, and what sounds like bench clearing madness. How the hell did a meaningless interleague series between two bad teams who will not face each other again for years become The Rivalry For Our Times?

Imagine if the Jays strolled into AT&T for a series, broke Posey's wrist and sent him to the DL for 10 weeks with a HBP, one of their players called Moore a human being, and then Bautista hit one into the bay and flipped his bat while staring the pitcher down just a few innings later. That's how. e. Oh and in the final game of the series after that they absolutely crush you. Sydin fucked around with this message at 17:46 on May 19, 2017 |

The Blue Jays called up Anthony Alford, the worst quarterback to ever play at Southern Miss under the worst head coach in the history of college football (Ellis Johnson). I can't decide if I want him to fail or not.

Strasburg was OPSing 1.162 after this game. And actually finished the year at a more than respectable .759. In 53 plate appearances for the whole year, but whatever.
