In todays "wokeness" and "presume guilty until proven innocent" culture we have our latest hilarious case.


A man at a Colorado Rockies game is behind homeplate - when a black player comes up to the mound. Partway through his bat - the man turns to his right and says (What the media refers to) as "HEY N****** HEY N******"

Our social justice media IMMEDIATELY responded with their amazing and accurate reporting...

The colorado Rockies then give their own statement showing their disgust:

The media made sure to their accurate Twitter reporting as well:

Turns out he was turning towards his right - directly where the mascot of the Colorado Rockies was - and yelling his name... "HEY DINGER!!.... HEY DINGER!!!" Oh wow, thats a little bit different than now isn't that? The Rockies then release this LAUGHABLE statement - where they don't apologize for fucking up - or apologize to the fan. How pathetic.

Based on the media though, you wouldn't know that. Because our media is complete dog shit that simply looks for click bait. You also have to love - through ALL of this - there was ZERO apologies to the guy. What he said was ENTIRELY misunderstood, and no one seemed to care to apologize. How fucking disgraceful. How fucking inept and disgusting humans are right now - to find that misquoting and giving false reporting isn't as disgraceful as it gets. Instead people just gloss over things like these GIANT fuck-ups.


When will the US learn that these purity testings... of tarring and feathering anyone who MIGHT have said something bad... is getting fucking toxic as shit?

Maybe a "2 post per day" thread like Mayne's in OT?

Great idea. Post ONLY in THAT thread...and only twice per 24 hours.
Why can't AT Forum's P&N section have a similar anti-fake news policy like Twitter?
*First fake news post leads to warning.
*Second fake news post leads to a 12 hour forum vacation for the poster.
*Third fake news post leads to 24 hour forum vacation for the poster.
*Fourth fake news post leads to 7 day forum vacation for the poster.
*Fifth fake news post leads to permanent forum vacation for the poster.

Yeap, which obviously means it keeps occurring, which means it's a bigger deal than you inept individuals realize.

There's 330 million people in this country. We all make mistakes either out of haste of decision, lack of information, or misunderstanding the information at hand. It comes down to intent and how we respond when faced with updated information. The club reviewed the events, checked in with the fan directly and issued a statement that corrected what happened. I don't know what more you want here.

If the concern is how fast headlines spread, well welcome to the new world. Push of a send button and you've got instantaneous views.

Yawn. Look at the CNN headline. "Colorado Rockies says it's investigating after fan yells racial slur during game." Some remedial grammar here. "Rockies" is the subject of the sentence. "Says" is the verb. Everything after says is the object. Meaning "it's investigating after fan yells racial slur during game" is what the Rockies said, not CNN. CNN reported what the ball club said had happened, because it was news.

Now they're reporting that the Rockies are saying it didn't happen. Because that too is news.

You can pick your bone with the Rockies, I suppose. But a ball club saying something inaccurate is a different thing than the media saying it.

It's possible that if people weren't still actually yelling toxic crap, there might not be these misunderstandings. Maybe one day we'll get there but the trend seems to be the other way as white america spasms it's last attempt at recapturing a mythical dick and jane 1955...

It's unfortunate and he's owed an apology.

Every time I read or hear one of these white man being repressed things I always hear the peasant from Holy Grail...

Yeah, just look at ALL the examples of people yelling out "N******" all over the place in public.

There is .. that one guy..

I think that other one....

Also that one time..


Oh wait - it never happens. When in the rare occasion it does - that person is rightfully criticized. But the reality is, it doesn't happen.

You're toxic as shit. Do you realize just how many posts you make beating the same concerned horse?
Which horse is that? Faux outrage? I guess when some people are racist then they think everyone else is racist.

Our resident genius thinks consolidating threads is shutting them out.

A few years ago this story would have been some skit on SNL instead we have this as legitimate news coverage. Instead of doing some due diligence first, we get the slew of Progressheviks posting about the guy is a racist and should be banned, in jail, and be hurt physically. Even after the facts surface, they still claim the guy was yelling Dinger as some dog whistle for racists and, even though what he said wasn't close to a racial slur, it still had the same meaning.
