My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

Googled this maniac and....

Cobb circa 1918
As Smithsonian magazine stated, "Violent confrontations were a recurring theme in Cobb's life."[15] He is thought to have committed several violent assaults during his playing time. Reported victims of his sudden uncontrollable rages through the years included a black groundskeeper who attempted to shake Cobb's hand, along with his wife, though this story (see above) is now considered dubious at best; as well as a handicapped fan. As he attacked the handicapped man, "someone screamed for Cobb to stop, pointing out that the man had no hands. 'I don't care if he has no feet!' Cobb yelled back, stomping [the handicapped man] until park police pulled him off."[15] Cobb reported in his autobiography that the handicapped man incurred Cobb's ire by speaking on his mother's "color and morals".

Five years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, Cobb publicly supported blacks and whites playing baseball together, adding, "Certainly it is okay for them to play. I see no reason in the world why we shouldn't compete with colored athletes as long as they conduct themselves with politeness and gentility. Let me say also that no white man has the right to be less of a gentleman than a colored man; in my book that goes not only for baseball but in all walks of life."[15] Using even stronger language, Cobb told the Sporting News in 1952 that "the Negro should be accepted and not grudgingly but wholeheartedly."[138] In 1953, black newspapers cited his praise for Brooklyn Dodgers' catcher Roy Campanella, who Cobb said was "among the all-time best catchers" in baseball.[139] Following Campanella's accident that left him paralyzed, the Dodgers staged a tribute game where tens of thousands of spectators silently held lit matches above their heads. Cobb wrote the Dodgers owner to show appreciation "for what you did for this fine man".[140] Cobb also stated that Willie Mays was the "only player I'd pay money to see".[140] In the obituaries that ran in the black press following Cobb's death, he was praised for "[speaking] in favor of racial freedom in baseball". [141]

Some historians, including Wesley Fricks, Dan Holmes, and Charles Leerhsen have defended Cobb against unfair portrayals of him in popular culture since his death. A noted case is the book written by sportswriter Al Stump in the months after Cobb died in 1961. Stump was later discredited when it became known that he had stolen items belonging to Cobb and also betrayed the access Cobb gave him in his final months. As a result of the movie Cobb which starred Tommy Lee Jones, there are many myths surrounding Cobb's life, including one that he sharpened his spikes to inflict wounds to opposing players.[142] Leerhsen's book Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty presents primary evidence in contradiction to some of the more negative charges against Cobb.[18]

I think they are more subservient than dumb. They are willing to do whatever Trump tells them to do, for the right price.

I've known men like Trump. They don't care what's right or legal, they just want poo poo done their way and they find people who will kowtow to their demands.

Cobb's racism is actually one aspect of his personality that may have been a bit overrated. If I remember correctly he came out publicly for integrating baseball when it wasn't popular to do it. Huge rear end in a top hat though, and yea probably also garden variety racist circa 1915.

I read an article earlier today with a lot of voters being motivated by the NRA backing of Screnock to get out and vote for Dallet. One said something like, "I can't imagine supporting someone who has the backing of the NRA."
